Replying to @TheStalwart
No one other than (fairly stupid) partisans on the left thinks Trump is truly going to implement 20% tariffs on everything across the board.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
On March 4th, 2025, the Trump Administration enacted 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico for all products except for energy products like oil and electricity, which are tariffed at 10%. reuters.com/world/trade-wa… nytimes.com/live/2025/03/0…

An absolute shocker. Democrat Gay Valimont has flipped Escambia County. 🔵 Gay Valimont - 51% 🔴 Jimmy Patronis - 48% Trump won this county by 19 points in 2024.

Good recap below. More 💩 from corrupt Christian Nationalist Republicans who feel emboldened to “do whatever [they] want”. More calls and protests are sure to come. We must keep up the pressure. We cannot remain silent or bury our heads and hope that things will get better.
great rundown of what the Ohio GOP is prioritizing in the state budget, the biggest vehicle through which we advance policy at the state level. it ain't what Ohioans want, support, or need but it's all we get from a rigged legislature emboldened by illegal supermajorities.

This requirement forces districts to keep less than recommended reserves on hand, become ineligible for a AAA bond rating, and pay more in borrowing costs. That’s not property tax relief.
Property tax relief update: The Hosue version of the budget provided “direct and much needed relief,” chair @BrianStewartOH said. The budget requires that if a school district carries over more than 25% of their operating budget, that property tax refunds be issued.

More of this, Democrats!
Americans aren’t a line item in a budget to cut. Your story matters, your voice matters, this fight matters.

Cory Booker as he breaks Strom Thurmond's speaking record: "I'm not here because of his speech. I'm here despite his speech. I'm here because as powerful as he was, the people are more powerful."

Which is a better investment, the education and future of Ohio’s children or subsidizing billionaires to build a sports stadium? I know my answer. #publiceducation
DEVELOPING: The Ohio House GOP has announced their version of state budget, dramatically slashing school spending from the expected funding formula. It should've provided $666-800M for public schools. Repubs are giving $226M. @WEWS @WCPO @OhioCapJournal news5cleveland.com/news/poli…

Who’s radical now?! Keep him FAR away from the governor’s mansion. He doesn’t represent what America stands for 🗽. He’s with the oligarchs.

Scott Jennings blows up at Neera Tanden Tanden: So when they do it to a Tesla dealership, it's really bad. But when they do it to the halls of congress, we should pardon them. Is that your position?

The US added only 151,000 jobs in February, lower than the forecast 170,000 jobs, while the unemployment rate rose to 4.1%. Yet again, a Republican president is blowing the strong economy he inherited from a Democrat.
