Analysts and market historians struggled to point to another time a president had directly inflicted so much damage on the financial markets. There are some recent parallels: An ill-timed budget proposal by Liz Truss, Britain’s prime minister in 2022, led to days of market chaos, and she had to resign within weeks.

'The Tyranny impeachment article is only the start of the conversation.

Trump is guilty of many impeachable things. But it starts the conversation. And I want to see his crimes against the republic written down.

Then we can decide if we can't persuade the people that work for US to support it."

‪James Madison called IMPEACHMENT the "decisive engine" the "Supreme Body, namely the People" should use against an abusive president. It is time to use it against the malevolent tyranny of Trump. Tell Congress on April 7: NO KINGS!

Google DocsOperation Anti-King Volunteer Sign Up FormNo Kings, No Tyrants - It's time to remove Trump from office. We're recruiting volunteers from every district in America to directly ask every member of Congress’s communications director if they support impeachment. The results will be published in an online tracker, as a way to celebrate those who support impeachment and shame those who do not. Afterwards, for those who volunteer, we will be sending letters to the editor for our local paper showing how we think of the position. Thank you for defending the constitution at this critical moment. For more information about this project, please check out this corresponding google doc. IMPORTANT: This requires you to send a pre-written email on Monday, April 7th @ 10:30 am eastern time. You will be sent the materials to do so on Sunday evening. The email can be scheduled or done at exactly 10:30 am manually but it must be sent at exactly that time.

"Here is the sign up form. What I want folks to do is sign up if they can commit. I know what I'm asking is ambitious but I strongly believe we can get there. At least one volunteer from every district in America within one week. We can do it.

Operation Anti-King. Let's go."

The Conversation U.S.

Trump isn’t happy with how the Smithsonian Institution and other U.S. museums are portraying history, and says “Museums in our Nation’s capital should be places where individuals go to learn.”

This historian agrees – but says doing so means not dismantling history, but instead “complicating the story – in all its messy glory.” theconversation.com/with-its-e #USPolitics #Histodons @histodons

A Guy Named Brian (he/him)

“Pragmatically, there are two things that explain these idiotic taxes. The first is that the Trump Administration is run by fucking bozos whose main qualification for their job is that they are Donald Trump’s spineless yes-men. The second is that Trump himself is by temperament a gangster, and he’s looking for leverage over every country and business that deals with the US.”

Oil prices fall on decreased demand due to global economic downturn!

"China's aggressive countermove to U.S. tariffs all but confirms we are heading towards a global trade war; a war that has no winners and which will hurt economic growth and demand for key commodities such as crude oil and refined products," said Ole Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxo Bank.
