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

The 90-day pause on tariffs excludes China. President Trump said he would raise the tariff on Chinese imports to 125% from the 104% level that took effect at midnight 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:

Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married? Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote. Call your rep—this is not a drill. indivisible.org/resource/cal…

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.

Crockett: "My Republican colleagues are here using today to continue pushing this false narrative of sanctuary cities harboring criminals, yet right here in DC we have a 34 count felon being harbored in the White House."

Hey everyone. Last week my daughter had a seizure…when we took her to the ER, and they did a cat scan, the doctor found a arachnoid cyst in her brain. Needless to say, we are in a nervous state right now. Her doctor appointment is this coming Thursday. So just bear with me on these post here. I was super sick and now I’m super distracted.

Let me say, with this latest decision from SCOTUS, I am utterly speechless. It is now fully apparent to me that this fucking coup is complete.
