If the reorganizing and dismantling of agencies that were originally approved by Congress requires Congressional approval, shouldn’t Congress—if it still believes in the Constitution—state loudly and widely its disapproval and take action to stop this criminality?

Trump tariffs go into effect today.

Canada & Mexico - 25%
China - 10%

There will be retaliatory tariffs.

Consumer prices will go up across the board.

The markets will panic.

Fear and financial anxiety will set in.

It's by design.

They're priming us for their big heist.

Happy Black History Month! Here is my favorite story about a Black American you may not know about: Robert Smalls. He commandeered a confederate ship and sailed himself, his family, and the other enslaved crew and their families to freedom. THROUGH waters controlled by the Confederacy.

Each time I have sat down to write something since the election, I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I simply cannot get out of my head.

So, I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period.

I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt.

But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are
