Congress can stop this any time they want
In the last 6 hours, Trump has imposed:
- A 100% tariff on medicine unless its producer starts building a new U.S. factory in the next 5 days
- A 50% tariff on kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities
- A 30% tariff on upholstered furniture
- A 25% tariff on “Heavy (Big!) Trucks”

The government is putting more and more pressure on journalists reporting on ICE.
We all must speak out against these chilling tactics.

Saudis gave Jarod $2B to play with. UAE gives Barron $2B. Hmm. Seems clean to me.
The Trump family’s cryptocurrency business just got a $2B investment from a firm backed by the United Arab Emirates government.
With this deal, they will be enriched beyond most people’s comprehension—and they have the UAE government to thank for it.

But real power isn't staged in DC. It rises up everywhere else. That's why we're planning a nationwide day of action to say No Kings. 🧵

This doesn’t create the “appearance” of corruption or set up the “potential” for conflict of interest. It is corruption, and it’s a standing conflict of interest. Patently, and historically.

Aid groups are running out of food to distribute. Markets are nearly bare.
