Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

I don't recall electing Elon Musk to anything, but he has now forced his way into the US Treasury's payment system and is beginning to decide who gets paid and who doesn't. He has access to our SSN's, bank account numbers, etc.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com Unfortunately, all the reasons Caroline Kennedy gave to not approve RFKJr are exactly the reasons Trump chose him. He wants to destroy the US government.

You will read countless times today that the LA mayor cut the LA Fire Department's budget by $23 million.
That is a lie.
The budget was actually *increased* by $50 million.
