The fear on the faces of Trump officials testifying in Congress is palpable. when asked a question where the obvious answer contradicts Trump.
“Who pays the tariffs?”
“Do immigrants in the U.S. have a right to due process?”

Hoping @wyden.senate.gov asks Scott Bessent who pays the tariff when China imposes a tariff on U.S.?
Hoping @wyden.senate.gov asks Scott Bessent whether Trump will be charged $40M tariff for the $400M jet he's importing from a foreign country subject to 10% tariffs.

Apparently the quickest way to receive relief from Trump’s tariffs is to sign a contract with Skylink. 🤔

Serious questions: how do you impose tariffs on movies? They going to add 100% to the ticket price and collect from each theater? The producer gets a cut of receipts. Can’t movies be transmitted over the internet? Or does he assume they come in film cans through customs? What about short films?
So I think the folks at Ladbrokes need to start running a line on whether Trump can make it to January 20, 2026 without being committed to a mental institution

If our planes can’t fly to El Salvador how did the prisoners get there?
So you can take over Greenland and Canada but can’t send a plane to pick up someone you are paying another country to hold for a year? Weird take on sovereignty.

What if you received a report that a communication at cabinet level from Iran was intercepted and that they are targeting a high-level military general in the Middle East with drones and strategic missiles would you have just ignored it because it’s not classified?

Lost to the news cycle focused on the shitshow performance of Trump and Vance, Trump is tanking the economy faster than expected.

Cancelling reporting incidents of bird flu doesn’t make the disease go away. Cancelling weather warning systems doesn’t make hurricanes and tornadoes go away.

In his first term he objected to widespread Covid testing because he liked having low case count.

Remind of hiding your head in the sand?
Canceling the measurement of economic impacts from climate change doesn't make the costs go away, it puts them on citizens who will see their expenses for everything from housing to food rise higher and faster than they otherwise would

Trump Order Shifts the Financial Burden of Climate Change Onto Individuals

This is how Trump will fulfill his promise of making the United States respected and admired around the world. /s
Leaders of Germany's pro-democracy parties now speaking of "European NATO states" and the United States under Trump and Musk as a potential enemy of Europe.

The Trump administration has made a final rupture between the US and EU/UK increasingly likely.

Stock market down in part because of United healthcare. Not just that they lead in most declined requests, but more importantly because they’re under investigation for Medicare fraud in there Medicare Advantage plan.

Canadians – don’t believe Trump when he says you’ll have better healthcare here.
