Queue the long, dumb argument among #economists as to whether #tariffs caused the depression or merely made it deeper or longer. In the mean time, #Democrats can get back to what they really love, which is following the elephant with a shovel and otherwise cleaning up after #Republicans. Don't worry my neolibs, you are going to have a lovely smoldering heap to govern soon. Trumpvilles and Another Deal and all that.

The #Defense Dept inspector general’s office said Thurs that it will scrutinize top #Trump admin officials’ use of #Signal, an unclassified messaging app to coordinate a highly sensitive #military operation last month in Yemen, complying with a request from #Republicans & #Democrats in #Congress.

Axios · Democrats beg Elon Musk: Campaign for our GOP opponentsBy Andrew Solender

For people who want to view tariff's of historical precedent to yesterday's... here's what I have found- there exists 1 precident/ example:

"1930 Smoot-Hawley Tariffs
Aggressive tariffs deepened the Great Depression, reducing global trade by ~65% and U.S. GDP by ~4%."

OK everyone, it's time to get invovled. We can't let senile Trump, drug-addled Musk, insane Vance, and the rest of them take OUR country. All hands on deck!

FWIW the DJIA has lost just under $1.9 trillion in market capitalization since #Trump took office. I suspect his tariffs will shave another few dollars off of the top. Pretty soon we'll be talking 'real money'.
