Trump voters feeling bitter
‘Cause the market’s in the shitter.

See? I’m a poet and don’t know it.
Although my feet show it.
They’re *longfellows.*
Just trying to keep folks amused while their 401Ks go down the drain.
Trump is like honeybadger: He don’t give a shit.

If Trumpty-Dumpty is working with the Russians to screw up America, he's doing a great job. Eggs, $11 a dozen. Health & Human Services down the dumper, ditto VA. If you call Social Security, they tell you to call back later. Guys 'n gals, this is more fucked up than Peter O'Toole on his birthday.

When following the headlines fills me with despair, it's comforting to cuddle with a family member who remains blissfully unconcerned about fascism.

That would be Trixie (a/k/a Bat-Mite).

The Trump administration keeps saying that other countries pay for tariffs, but that’s not how they work.

Tariffs are effectively taxes on imported products, which the American people ultimately pay.
Leavitt: Tariffs are a tax hike on foreign countries and a tax cut for the American people

Reporter: Have you ever paid a tariff? I have. They don’t get charged on foreign countries

Leavitt: I think it’s insulting that you are trying test my knowledge on economics

So, Elon called my brother-in-law a traitor.

Interesting take, considering Musk supports authoritarian regimes over democratic ones. Mark’s spent his life serving this country.

So much projection.

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ?

They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses.

That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue.

The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

The USPS is the nation’s lifeline, ensuring delivery to every corner of the country.

We cannot allow it to be dismantled, sold off, and handed over to Wall Street billionaires for profit.

Privatization would increase costs, reduce access, and be an utter disaster.
