The Constitution disagrees. The Emoluments Clause, part of Article I, Section 9, Clause 8, bans office holders from taking ANY gifts from foreign countries. There is no mention of quid pro quo. That is because the Founding Fathers knew that even the *appearance* of corruption promotes corruption.

Map of Long Beach, CA and Port of Los Angeles
Port map of Vancouver, CA
Tariffs rob us of jobs, supplies, and money.
The Port of Los Angeles, largest US port—part of the San Pedro Bay Port Complex which also includes the Port its Long Beach—predicts a 35% drop in imports within 2 weeks.
Maps show L.A., CA and Vancouver, Canada.
Tariffs matter.

What’s up with Elliott Bay’s missing cargo ships?
The absence of big cargo ships on Elliott Bay may be a harbinger of a bigger slowdown at the ports of Seattle and Tacoma as the effects of America’s trade war with China start to hit home.
At what point does he cry uncle? The Port of Seattle is empty. When you open the article, check out the photo of the ships that are not there. Astounding. And all self inflicted by Tmurp.
How much of the NOT WINNING do we have to endure?

I absolutely loved seeing the crowd of people at Pope Francis’ funeral give a thunderous round of applause to hero President Zelenskyy right in front of the orange felon. The shade was as smooth as butter but piercing. 👏

Only a mentally ill person would think they can be a draft dodger, consistently insult veterans, active duty military, and dead heroes, and think they deserve to have a military parade in their own honor…

We’re building a #PeoplesMovement.
Today, over 3 million people across the country stood up to say HANDS OFF our democracy.
And history shows that when just 3.5% of the population engages in sustained, peaceful resistance—transformative change is inevitable.

TODAY WE MOBILIZED OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION!!!
This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference.
It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference.
