What the fuck is this orange turd doing?
BREAKING: Trump said he will put a 90-day pause on all tariffs and lower reciprocal tariffs to 10% after several days of market selling that threatened to send the US into a recession. The stock market has sharply rebounded on the news, with major averages up more than 6% reut.rs/3Ehv63p

This should be a fucking crime!
Trump tells his followers to buy stock in the morning, minutes after the market opens, then announces he is pausing tariffs 4 hours later.Nothing to see here.

Who's getting rich off this engineered volatility?

I posted this yesterday in the comments, but it should be noted:
This is big: House Republicans tucked language into the budget res “rule” that bans the House from voting to terminate Trump’s emergency declaration used to impose tariffs. TL;DR lawmakers who vote for this are officially giving up their power to revoke his tariffs until October.

Here is Trump’s April 2 “liberation day” tariff declaration that would be protected from a vote to terminate until October — if the new House rule passes: http://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential…

Pay attention to this:
Oh yeah, in other news:

But wait, there’s fucking more!
🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨Trump has issued EXECUTIVE ORDERS to investigate Chris Krebbs and Miles Taylor for treason. Two completely innocent Americans.
— Rachel Bitecofer (@rachelbitecofer.bsky.social) 2025-04-09T21:07:46.769Z
Trump signed an executive order calling for the DOJ to investigate Chris Krebs, who headed the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA). All Krebs did was tell the truth about the 2020 election, including that voting machines didn’t flip votes.For that, he was fired and now investigated.
— Tom Joscelyn (@tomjoscelyn.bsky.social) 2025-04-09T21:30:24.414Z
Trump has also signed an executive order calling for Miles Taylor, an official in the first Trump administration who authored an anonymous book that was critical of Trump, to be investigated by the DOJ as well.Authoritarian. Orwellian.
— Tom Joscelyn (@tomjoscelyn.bsky.social) 2025-04-09T21:32:57.839Z
If you watched the Oval Office, Trump targeted two individuals whose only offense was saying the truth. Then he targeted a law firm because it sued FoxNews. It ended with him totaling the money Big Law firms that have capitulated owe him in pro bono.We cannot give up. We must all commit to fight.

I don’t have words.

I have no idea how this country is going to get through 4 years of this. We have to, at least, turn the Senate and the House over to the Democratic Party just to stop him from doing these very stupid, unconstitutional, and under a different Supreme Court, illegal things.
Under Atkins, the SEC is expected to reduce corporate disclosures, cut back on regulation and be more crypto-friendly, particularly compared to previous chair Gary Gensler, who had a more hardline approach to the industry

He is trying to drive us back to the Gilded Age. Just look at pix of what he did to the Oval Office. The tacky gold stuff is just appalling.

The U.S. House of Representatives voted Thursday to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, a major voter suppression measure that, if it became law, could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters and badly undermine U.S. democracy.
