So, Trump announced a bunch of tariffs today. Basically everybody but Russia.
But then there is 15-30 % for everybody. But Lesotho? Fuck Lesotho in particular, apparently. 50% tariffs.
Just by a super coincidence, seems like Starlink is trying to get a contract in Lesotho and having some difficulties. Clearly unrelated.

BREAKING NEWS
Stock futures are plummeting by at least 2% as Trump details his tariffs.
To my fellow Americans, be prepared to pay up to 25% more on EVERYTHING.
Trump doesn't understand that as we kill economies around the world, our own economy will plummet from reciprocal tarrifs AND the economic downturn.
This will be a global meltdown.

With #Section230 Repeal, Dems and #Media Offer #Trump New #Censorship Tools

Dissolving the provision would reassign legal responsibility to websites and third parties, empowering a Trump-helmed federal #government to force #online platforms to stifle, or promote, certain speech. While the ostensible purpose of the repeal, according to Durbin, is to “protect kids online,” it’s far more likely to give the Trump #WhiteHouse carte blanche to advance its ultra-reactionary political #agenda.

#Mississippi #governor signs typo tax overhaul bill into #law to phase out income #tax
source: apnews.com/us-news/taxes-tate-…
#Senators last week had conceded to eliminate the income tax, but only with economic growth “triggers” as safeguards — the tax wouldn’t phase out unless the state saw robust economic growth and controlled spending. It would have likely taken many years.Or so they thought. The Senate bill had typos that essentially nullified the growth triggers and would eliminate the income tax nearly as quickly as the House proposed. The House passed the flawed bill on to the governor, who signed it into law Thursday.

The 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951, limits presidents to two terms. It was a direct response to FDR serving four terms and aimed to prevent a president from becoming too powerful or too much like a king.

These are only three and a half minutes. Uncut. Representing the essence of #CoryBooker 's speech around the 20hrs mark. It's a speech to all Americans. But is as well a speech, foremost to the #DemocraticParty, about which, until today, I wasn't sure it still exists. Senator Booker just opened a huge window of opportunity. They only have to use it.
