It's going to be increasingly important to read foreign news coverage of US politics as the domestic US media gets more afraid of continuing threats & intimidation from the Trump regime

“‘I’ll tell you what’s not going to happen is, people are not going to raise [money] to build manufacturing in America,’ [Ken Griffin] said, adding, ‘because with the policy volatility, you actually undermine the very goal you’re trying to achieve.’”

Not a single international cargo ship at the Port of Seattle. The port is dead. The last ship from China will dock at a West coast port on the 29th, and the last Chinese ship will dock on the East coast around May 10th. After that, there will be no more shipments arriving from China. We’re screwed.

Auchincloss on Fox News Sunday: "This economy is inflationary right now...you know what the GOP response is?

Trump stiffed Rudy on his legal fees from 2019-21. $2 million. Rudy ran all over the country filing lawsuits & appeals. It cost him his job at law firm, his law license, his apartment & everything he owns. Trump, despite raising over $200 million for it, never paid Rudy A PENNY.

Gotta love ppl who work in book shops

Honestly, I don’t see how fact-checking stops free speech.

If anything, it protects it by keeping conversations grounded in truth.

Without it, lies spread like wildfire, and that’s not free speech—it’s chaos.
