At this point, you can’t convince me they aren’t manipulating the market.

As soon as the indexes started peaking today, the White House started talking about tariffs on China, and everything is in the red again.

Moskowitz: When President Zelenskyy came to the White House, we heard a lot about what he was wearing. Oh my God, the precious Oval Office—he didn’t wear a suit! I mean, here’s a picture of Kid Rock in the Oval Office—he looks like he’s about to jump over 10 buses on the White House lawn.

1/ Another child has died from #measles in the U.S.—an 8-year-old girl. Unvaccinated. No underlying health conditions. This is tragic. And entirely preventable. It’s also not normal—for three key reasons. 🧵

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.

Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

If, as a doctor, your best scientific take on cancer incidence /recurrence is "I seem to be seeing a few more cases in my own clinic since mRNA vaccines were approved", you need to bone up on cancer epidemiology or shut up.

When my wife was diagnosed with "innumerable" tumors on her liver-facing a possible transplant

She got insurance through her job

Not now

And without the Affordable Care Act

Coverage would be denied as a "pre-existing condition"

Which would be a death sentence
