Trump claims his tariff pause is the result of concessions from Canada and Mexico on border enforcement.

But many of these so-called "concessions" are policies both countries were already doing (or planning to do) before he took office.

Some dealmaker, huh?
Analysis | Did Trump cave on his Canada and Mexico tariffs?
Some of the purported concessions that led to a 30-day pause on the tariffs were things Canada and Mexico had already done before Trump’s threat, but it’s complicated.

Trump's first two weeks back in office has been filled with chaos and dysfunction. But none of it is random.

It's part of a plot to spread cynicism and get you to check out.

Oligarchs don't want you to keep paying attention. That's how they win.

Don't tune out. Don't let them win.

Most immigrants Trump targets have been here 10+ years, paying taxes, raising families, contributing to our communities.

Mass deportation would devastate our economy and tear apart the social fabric of America.

Since Monday, Trump has: Halted civil rights investigations, suspended public health advisories, frozen infrastructure spending, rescinded an executive order prohibiting discrimination by federal contractors and another one aimed at lowering drug prices.

How does this help working people?

Big Tech billionaires had a front row seat at Trump's inauguration. They were seated in front of Trump's own cabinet. Tells you everything you need to know.

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.
