Fun fact about Trump tariffs you won’t see in 99% of the reporting:
Trump tariffs are illegal.
Congress controls tariffs just like tax rates.
President can change a tariff only for national security emergency, meaning war.
And to think we could have had a sane, serious government run by an intelligent person who would have acted in the best interests of Americans, and not Vladimir Putin.
This speech by Sen. Angus King of Maine is well worth listening to. I hope at least some of the Republicans listening really heard what he had to say. It’s not too late to stand up for democracy! @hcrichardson.bsky.social Thank you for sharing this in your Substack today. youtu.be/g2ptQFOi9Pg?...
PLEASE: Watch what happened in Coeur d'Alene Idaho today. This is fascism. Unmarked cops. 1A violations. RESIST.
Yet another f…ing sellout!!!
Too bad that within hours he had the DOJ start an investigation in Maine. Guess she will see him in court. 😢 Can you say retribution?
One of my favorites!!!
Im soooo sick of the lies!!!
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” -Theodore Roosevelt
Her posts are helping to keep us all sane during this national emergency!
The Trump administration has begun firing several hundred Federal Aviation Administration employees, upending staff on a busy air travel weekend and just weeks after a January fatal mid-air collision at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
This. Especially Senate Republicans.
This is false. The power of the purse is meaningless if the executive can simply disregard the appropriation of dollars is the law. There are numerous specific textual bases for this claim. But the mere logic of the document and the structure it creates makes this emphatically clear.

HAPPY birthday, Mark!!!
Elon—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. He could end world hunger single-handedly and still be the richest man alive. But he won’t.
Instead, he spent 40 million on Super Bowl ads attacking USAID!
Stand with USAID: share this counter-ad…
Great point.
🤷🏻
Being dismissed anyway now that we are screaming about it!

House Oversight Republicans spent two years subpoenaing and deposing every person who ever had a cup of coffee with Hunter Biden over the last 20 years, but now oppose a subpoena to hear from the person really running the government who hasn’t even had a confirmation hearing.
USAID
🤷♀️🤷♀️
So this happened today. My Medicare isn’t covering a script that was covered last month. Everyone needs to Wake Up! 💙☮️
*All* government agencies submit audited financial every single year. So, the last time USAID was audited was ... this past December! oig.usaid.gov/sites/defaul...
Who does the audits? The Inspectors General. Who are presently under attack, so that future crimes won't be seen.
This.
The ILLEGAL freeze of USAID funds shut down:
• malaria treatment for children under 5
• a device to prevent H.I.V. infection
• a method to treat cervical cancer
• support for pregnant women to reduce malnutrition
• tuberculosis treatment for children
