Hey @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social , this is much better than a strongly worded letter, eh ?
Here is the statement I made in Ottawa on Trump's visit to Canada in the G7. This comes as people of California face down the threat of a police state.

remembering fondly when people were like "don't promote 50501, it's not real, it's a psyop"
I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.
Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

Why stop at 6 bankruptcy especially when you can bring down a worlds economy! He (#Trump) truly is "The fool on the Hill!"
The S&P 500 fell 3.4% in early trading and the Nasdaq Composite tumbled 4.6%, dragged down by an 8% fall for index heavyweight Apple. Meanwhile, the dollar was down 2.4% against a basket of rivals, on course for its biggest daily decline since 2015. www.ft.com/content/f820...

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.
