Premise of MAHA is that Americans don’t need more access to medical care. They just need better nutrition & exposure to fewer environmental toxins. Unfortunately, Trump is A) taking away nutritional assistance B) expanding use of environmental toxins wapo.st/3IcljwV

“If you saw all this in any other country — soldiers sent to crush dissent, union leaders arrested, opposition politicians threatened — it would be clear that autocracy had arrived.” Can Americans who hate tyranny be roused to respond? nytimes.com/2025/06/09/opi… via @NYTOpinion

Has everyone's brain been pickled at this point?

I'm at a loss for words... Superman was an undocumented immigrant shot to Earth in a spaceship. Trump would’ve had ICE waiting on the landing pad. Superman fought corrupt billionaires like Lex Luthor. Trump is Lex Luthor, minus the genius. Superman lifted people up. Trump cuts…

The U.S. is imposing a 25% tariff on Korea because of trade deficits that it claims are "engendered by Korea's Tariff and Non Tariff, Policies and Trade Barriers." But Korea has a free trade agreement with the U.S. It charges zero tariffs on nearly everything.

Anybody who looks at the numbers sees that we've never had deficits remotely like this, or the prospect of debts remotely like this, at a moment when the economy was strong and we were at peace in our history. This is a risk that we don't need to run and for what, to give a…

“It’s the largest redistribution from poor to rich in a single bill in American history.” It's a play in three regressive parts: 1. Tax cuts for the rich. 2. Spending cuts on the poor. 3. Tariffs that hit low-income folks hardest.

Seeing tanks roll into Washington reminds me of my time living in the Soviet Union and Putin's Russia. And they are not fond memories.

It's not a big, beautiful bill. It's a prescription for deadly, dangerous decline. It's ill advised, it's imprudent, and it fails to recognize a basic truth, that the world's greatest debtor is unlikely to stay the world's greatest super power. We are making a very serious…

We don’t need to guess what tariffs will do. We've seen this movie. Bush tried steel tariffs in 2002. Trump did it again in 2018. Both times, same plot: a handful of steel jobs saved, tens of thousands of downstream jobs destroyed.

Most people think trade is “cars for wine.” But the moment you realize that trade is mostly in intermediate goods—stuff like steel, or aluminum—your whole perspective changes. Tariffs aren’t taxes on “them.” They’re taxes on your own country's production line.

When the value of a corporation can fall $100 billion -- around 400x what Elon invested in Trump's election -- based on interpersonal relations between a CEO and the President, it does rather suggest that policy isn't really based on the best interests of the American people.
