Having become an adult in the 1990s, Trump still somehow seems novel to me. But he isn't. Two-thirds of the House GOP came to the Hill since 2016. A third of Americans weren't old enough to vote in 2016. One in 11 Trump 2024 voters weren't either. https://t.co/S9UlZORUdj

Used the conversation about the manliness of our new, theoretical tariff-powered jobs to talk about right-wing misogyny, anti-elitism and the decline of organized labor. Gift link: https://t.co/khUrxqsPZU

RT @JStein_WaPo: White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt: Many of you in the media clearly missed the Art of the Deal

If Trump is actually waving off tariff criticism because he thinks it's mostly just rich Wall Street Dems who are affected by market turmoil: Nope. Free to read: https://t.co/PD3esSdl5U https://t.co/Tv9B1XS726

Wrote a little about the frankly embarrassing spin Trump allies are putting on the tariffs: They will let men have MANLY jobs again, which is important for some reason. Gift link: https://t.co/khUrxqsPZU

Sixty years after the baby boom ended, Americans are getting older and retiring. Immigrants and their children have been taking up the economic slack. At least they had been, before Trump’s war on immigration. https://t.co/hNBscT7VfD

Here's a look at how Trump's damage to the economy isn't limited to stock prices. https://t.co/NnysZDX44Q https://t.co/YBShGc1dib

Sorry, is this where Hassett says Trump is considering a pause? Because… https://t.co/x74nyuXZHv

KILMEADE: Would Trump consider a 90 days pause in tariffs? HASSETT: I think the president is gonna decide what the president is gonna decide ... even if you think there will be some negative effect from the trade side, that's still a small share of GDP https://t.co/3KymvgOwQG

It's not just that Trump is targeting immigrants, using them as scapegoats for just about everything. He's doing it as America keeps getting older — and there's more need for workers to fill the jobs they're leaving. https://t.co/hNBscT7VfD

Guys, when I tell you that I am excited about tomorrow’s newsletter… Does it have old subway maps? YES. Does it have World War II propaganda? YES. Does it have visualizations of the tariff debacle? YES. Out in 12 hours. Sign up for free! https://t.co/XKLj0RaXdT

I updated my visualization of how often Trump visits his own properties/plays golf. https://t.co/vKCP6w5rz7 https://t.co/fbqDjecsxd

People old enough may remember Trump making noises about lowering grocery prices way back in 2024. Well, now we’re tracking how well that’s going — just in time for his tariffs to kick in. Gift link: https://t.co/pHebtaTHot https://t.co/xvwhuAGkXM

In my (free to read) newsletter I also looked at new PRRI polling that shows — once again — that most people in most states support access to abortion. https://t.co/4nlz1RxZdT https://t.co/I2C3ns7j1d

RT @crampell: “We may have, short term, a little pain,” Trump has said of his tariffs. How much pain might consumers endure in food price…

"I inherited a groceries situation," Trump said this week, marveling at this exotic term. Well, now you can see how his new tariffs are affecting food prices, with trackers evaluating the cost of fast food, breakfast — and, of course, BLTs. Gift link: https://t.co/pHebtaTHot https://t.co/IK0YwUdGfg
