It seems that Trump wants a recession. Why?
A recession will drive down the prices of real estate, companies, and shares of stock.
Trump and his fellow billionaires want to buy up everything on the cheap and then enjoy the ride upward — no matter the cost to working people.

In a 25-hour speech decrying what he described as Trump's "grave" threats to democracy, U.S. Sen. Cory Booker, a Black man from New Jersey, gave the longest U.S. Senate floor speech in U.S. history—smashing the record Dixiecrat Sen. Strom Thurmond set with his 1957 anti-civil rights filibuster.
Sen. Cory Booker Breaks Segregationist Strom Thurmond's Record
U.S. Sen. Cory Booker broke a record set 68 years ago by then-Sen. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina, a segregationist, in 1957.

I appreciate that Sanders led a rally of 10K in WI to help protect the WI Supreme Court.
But y'all, can we stop relying on one Octogenarian to save democracy? We have so many dynamic young speakers that are extremely popular. Why Dems aren't showcasing them front and center nationwide is beyond me.

This is excellent advice!
Canada sells many of the same products as the U.S. and we import a lot of produce etc… We’re still issuing public health alerts for recalls and threats to safety.

Given that there’s a pause on FDA comms right now, it may be useful for Americans to sign up for Canadian recalls, since many products are sold in both countries. Eg fellow celiacs, this may clue you into products to watch out for on the US side too: recalls-rappels.canada.ca/en/subscribe
