For Mother’s Day this year, I’m giving my wife time on an airplane.
Literally, she’s going to spend 100% of the day (with me) on an airplane.

If Trump is serious about tariffs on movies, it's a very dangerous escalation. Tariffs have not traditionally been applied to services, and the United States is a massive net exporter of services. We would be extremely vulnerable to any service-based retaliation.
Trump says movies produced outside the U.S. are a national security threat. So he’s imposing a 100% tariff on all movies that are “produced in foreign lands.”

Biggest mistakes I'm seeing in early reporting (thread):
1. Tariffmageddon isn't over: Lotsa tariffs to account for, but the average tariff rate is only down around one quarter. So most of the pain of Liberation Day is still with us.

The Donald J. Trump Stock Market Crash™
It appears this is the fourth worst back to back day for the DJIA in American history with a two day combined -8.65% loss, only trailing the 1929 crash, 1987 Black Monday, and the 2008 crisis.

The Donald J. Trump Stock Market Crash™
The word "decimate" comes from the event where a tenth of soldiers in a unit were killed.
Well, in two days Trump *decimated* America's economy with his tariffs.
(This last happened because of COVID, and the 2008 financial crisis. It's NEVER been self-inflicted, until now.)

Right-wing YouTuber Tim Pool has made it to the White House pool — someone from his “Timcast” channel will be part of today’s pool duty covering the president.
Last year, DOJ revealed Pool was receiving millions of dollars from the Russian gov. Pool says he didn’t know where it was coming from.

I like paying taxes just as much as anyone (not very much).
But this is DUMB! I screwed up last year & had to file an amended return. I’m expecting a decent check back.
It’s been 10+ months and I still haven’t gotten it! If this cut goes through, I’ll *never* see my money back!

BREAKING
The IRS is drafting plans to cut its workforce of 90,000 by as much as half.
A reduction in force of tens of thousands of employees would render the IRS “dysfunctional,” said John Koskinen, a former IRS commissioner.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:

They're a party of internet trolls with no vision or original ideas to improve people's lives. Everything they say is outrage porn designed to distract you from the fact that they have no plan to lower grocery prices or make housing more affordable.

Trump is helping an accused human trafficker, a rapist, and a man who formed an organized crime group to exploit young women.
I’ll say it again:
This is the most corrupt administration in American history.
