    Trump has injected tariffs into the plight of TikTok.


    https://www.politico.com/news/2025/...or-tiktok-float-greeted-with-a-shrug-00264734

    excerpt:

    “The president is floating ridiculous proposals tying tariffs and TikTok together,” said a spokesperson for Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.), who led a charge pressing the administration for clarity on its deal plans last week — and who said he’d heard nothing in response.

    “I want to see TikTok get sold. I want to see it sold now. I want to see it off the market,” said Rep. Rich McCormick (R-Ga.), a China hawk. He broadly defended Trump’s negotiating, but said, “Tariffs are a separate issue to me.”

    Jim Banks insults former HHS worker who lost job because of Trump, Musk, and RFJ, Jr..


    Sen. Jim Banks Tells HHS Employee Who Lost Job ‘You Probably Deserved It’

    excerpt:

    “Hi, I was a worker at HHS. I was fired illegally on Feb. 14,” he said, referring to recent, mass layoffs and firings under the Trump administration. “There are many people who are not getting social service programs, especially people with disabilities. Are you gonna do anything to stop what’s happening?”

    “You probably deserved it," Banks said once inside the elevator.

    The former HHS employee and a woman standing near him seem taken aback by Banks' response, both audibly exhibiting surprise.

    “I deserved it?” Schroeder asked.

    “You probably deserved it," Banks repeated.

    “Wow,” the woman is heard saying. “That’s so rude and sad.”

    “Why did I deserve it?” Schroeder asked.

    The senator does not change his outlook, replying, “Because you seem like a clown.” He then smiled as the elevator doors closed.

    Banks insulted Ilhan Omar for talking about her post-traumatic stress disorder. He said it was offensive to U.S. veterans.

    European markets fall ahead of Trump's new tariffs as part of his “Make America Wealthy Again” plan.


    European markets close lower as traders brace for Trump's tariff plans

    excerpt:

    "White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that the import taxes would go into effect immediately, adding the only way to avoid the new levies is to move production to the U.S."

    ‘In the long run, we’re all dead’: Trump allies struggle with trade uncertainty

    excerpt:

    "But many of the president’s allies and critics are united by a fear that the new levies will plunge weary consumers into a new wellspring of economic uncertainty and possibly a recession. Some Republicans, already on edge about losing their narrow congressional majority in the midterms, fear the levies are likely to damage the president’s and the party’s popularity on inflation, an issue of paramount importance to voters who are on edge about the White House’s new trade plans."

    Trump will not stop until every American relic reflects his imaginary world view

    Trump will not stop until every American relic reflects his imaginary world view | Kellie Carter Jackson

    excerpt:

    "But Trump’s executive order is not about restoring the truth. Quite the opposite. It creates false narratives and myths that promote the supremacy of whiteness. This executive order has the potential for harm because erasure is violence; it robs the public of the truth. Because there is no way to explain slavery and segregation as not “inherently harmful and oppressive”, Trump would rather not explain it at all."
