Trump's in full retreat today as his poll numbers slip:

He convened the cabinet to limit Elon after voters pressured Congress.

He delayed the tariffs b/c the market dropped out & created fears of a recession.

He's losing in court b/c DOGE didn't follow the law.

Keep fighting.

PSA: When the recession hits and the economy tanks remember every action they take to stop the bleeding enriches them even further. (Bailouts, buying things cheaper, etc)

Heads: Trump and Musk and the oligarchs win

Rep. Tom Suozzi gets huge applause and a standing ovation after calling out Trump’s ambush of President Zelenskyy at the White House.

Suozzi is a Democrat who won a special election in a red districtβ€”more of this, please!

Scientists are now organizing events, called Stand Up for Science, on 7 March in Washington, D.C., and state capitals.

US inflation heats up to 3% for first time since June | CNN Business It’s not just eggs. Many commonly purchased goods and services got more expensive in January, driving inflation in the wrong direction and to its highest rate since June of last year.

If there was one mandate Donald Trump had, it was to fight inflation on day one, like he promised to do.

But he is not doing that.

Farmers face financial crisis as Trump's funding freeze hits home Producers attend House Agriculture Committee meeting to underscore the devastating impacts of sudden funding cuts, leaving many with mounting debts after broken contracts.

Farmer installs solar power under contract with USDA. Trump freezes funding, violating the contract and leaving the farmer without resources to pay the bills.

It’s illegal and it’s wrong.

Tell Congress to stop the funding freeze.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

USDA freezes farmer funding for some programs, conservation contracts The U.S. Department of Agriculture has frozen some funding for farmers as it goes through a sweeping review, despite assurances from the Trump administration that programs helping farmers would not be affected in the government overhaul.

"Missouri cattle producer Skylar Holden [said he] signed a contract with USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service for $240,000 for improved water lines, fences and a well. But USDA officials called him recently to tell him his contract . . . was frozen."

Elonβ€”the richest man on Earthβ€”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!
