Trump just vaporized $9 Trillion in stock market value with his stupid tariff policies. Half the loss resides in retirement 401ks, pensions and the like. The loss will never be made up with new high paying factory jobs for folks without retirement savings.

The Constitution expressly vests trade authority, including tariffs, in Congress. Republicans in Congress swore an oath to "defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies." That should include Trump imho, who has clearly abused any past lawful delegation of authority.

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge).
You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

Well, if what Judge Merchan signaled in his order today denying Trump's motion to dismiss and setting sentencing for the 10th, Trump will not be fined, nor incarcerated, but (pending appeal) will forever be a Convicted Felon.

Trump is transactional and hates giving anything to anyone. So, at the other place, I have been saying that continued support for Ukraine should highlight the fact it is loaded with rare earth and other essential resources. WaPo finally chimes in to agree. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
Opinion | Does Trump want Putin to get Ukraine’s $26 trillion in gas and minerals?
Kyiv controls vast gas and mineral deposits. Does Trump want those flowing west, or to Russia and China?

Looks like Trump has realized that Ukraine has $trillions in mineral reserves, including rare earth minerals and lots of strategic stuff needed by the U.S. like lithium and titanium.
⚡️Kyiv delayed minerals deal with US to let Trump take credit, NYT reports.
Ukrainian authorities twice delayed signing the agreement, officials said. The delays offer the opportunity for Trump to claim an early victory at the start of his term.

If you're a prominent voice for the Dems and you capitulate to the GOP to endear yourself to Trump, there's something you need to understand
MAGA will never, ever respect you
What you showed them is you can be pushed around, bought off, and owned like a little bitch
Enjoy that
