Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"

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.

Very important thread.

Very important thread.
Researching my ancestry has reignited a sense of patriotism in me. I want to see the word patriot reclaimed. Not by cultists who weaponize it, but by those who believe in democracy and who love this country enough to defend its ideals with integrity. Like @booker.senate.gov did today. 💙

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics.
Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

Dearest Canadians,
We would never, in a million years, call you “nasty” or blame you for our problems. That’s just dumb, and we aren’t nitwits or bullies.

Measles outbreaks are back. Grocery and gas prices are up. Bird flu is spreading. All our allies hate us. Air travel is getting unsafe. The stock market is tanking. The government is about to shut down.
