Omar Tariff

I'm a journalist and attorney, not an activist, so I've no answers on what Americans should do right now. I only know this: Donald Trump is attempting to incite a civil war so he can cancel all future elections, and he will keep executing citizens until that outcome is achieved.

Congrats everyone, we now have 35% tariffs on Canada for no apparent reason

TAPPER: I have a hard time thinking that if a D president held a dinner for investors in his cryptocurrency, you wouldn't be outraged MIKE JOHNSON: Look, I don't know anything about the dinner. I was a little busy this past week, so I'm not going to comment on something I haven't even heard about

“sidesteps laws”? no motherfuckers he BROKE laws, words mean things

REPORTER: On the president's dinner tonight, will the White House commit to making a list of the attendees public so people can see who's paying for that kind of access to the president? LEAVITT: The president is attending it in his personal time

Your regular reminder that the entire global economy is subject to the whipsaw whims of a person who doesn’t understand how the global economy works

Trump Is Furious That His Tariffs Are Doing Exactly What Economists Said They’d Do https://twp.ai/4inl51

Guess which is going wind up killing more Americans.

Barrasso repeatedly ducked the question (which is bad) but didn’t suggest he might support it (which would have been worse)

Y’all, stay safe out there. Twitter users are taking advantage of Grok’s lack of safeguards by replying to images of women and asking Grok to “undress” them. Grok responds with pictures of the women in lingerie or bikinis—publicly, in the replies. www.pcmag.com/news/gross-e...

"Think of how much money we are making by letting our soybeans rot instead of selling them to China. We are going to be so rich!"

“Congress mandated VOA to report reliable and authoritative news, not outsource its journalism to outlets aligned with the president's agenda,” VOA White House bureau chief Patsy Widakuswara and press freedom editor Jessica Jerreat told The Independent. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Hey MAGA! Y’all keeping up with how Felon Trump will continue to make your life one of misery? I’ve got a spoiler alert for y’all. (It’s not Biden’s fault, it’s your criminal’s fault) Want better? Vote better! #Victory4Voices #DemVoice1

Sen. Tom Cotton: “What we need from the president is to get out of this mindset of trying to end the war. Instead, we need to help Ukraine win the war. And they're only gonna win if we continue to supply them with the weapons that they're asking for.” (2022)

This hits hard—and says everything about where we are right now. A Yale professor says he’s relocating to Canada to continue his democracy work. When asked why not stay in the U.S. and fight, he says he has two Black sons and he’s the son of a Holocaust survivor—and this is an “anti-Black moment”.

Just say it.

Raskin: Our chairman… How does one go from a libertarian railing about the deep state and the fbi and the doj coming down on the rights of the people to becoming a supine submissive authoritarian who votes against providing basic due process rights for the people against the government?

Odds of a recession in the next 12 months when Biden left office: 15% (Moody's) Odds of a recession in the next 12 months as of today: 60% (J.P. Morgan) Trump broke Biden’s booming economy with his tariffs.

Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal. Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration. See how this works?

DOGE wasn’t meant to save taxpayers money. 💵 💰 It was a successful attempt to gut agencies who regulate and audit billionaires like Musk to enrich them. A senate investigation estimates Elon Musk alone will benefit by at least 2.37 billion. (see article below by TylerMcBrien)

Patel works for a President that the Supreme Court decided it should grant immunity to, and who routinely doles out pardons for his political supporters. There is now a whole class of people in America who assume the law is irrelevant to them, and it does not include the judge who was arrested.
