Why would a leader tank his own country's economy?
It's a key part of the aspiring autocrat's playbook.
Tariffs & chaos mean more power & control for Trump.
But America has no king. The Republican-led Congress can stop this at any time.
Let your reps hear from you.

Trump and DOGE want to shrink the IRS. That may cost billions of tax dollars.
The Trump administration is cutting hundreds of thousands of federal jobs to save money. At one federal agency, the cuts may actually cost money.

A counterintelligence disaster is right.
This is a highly unusual request from the White House, and an even more unusual compliance for the CIA.
This will put lives at risk.

New via NYT — The CIA sent the White House an unclassified email listing all employees hired by the spy agency over the last two years to comply with an executive order to shrink the federal work force. One former agency officer called the reporting of names a “counterintelligence disaster.”

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

This makes me sick! Cruelty is the point... not a side effect
New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.
