There is nothing clever or funny about this image, Mr. President. We just buried our beloved Pope Francis and the cardinals are about to enter a solemn conclave to elect a new successor of St. Peter. Do not mock us.

Congratulations to my friend Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on his win in Australia’s election. America and Australia have a vibrant alliance anchored in shared values and I know that Anthony will continue to stand for them.

If trade deficits were a national emergency, you’d think Trump would focus on making deals with countries with whom we actually have a trade deficit.

Tonight, President Trump fired a patriotic public servant. Carla Hayden has spent her entire career serving people—from helping kids learn to read to protecting some of our nation’s most precious treasures. She is an American hero.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but NO, Donald Trump cannot accept a $400 million flying palace from the royal family of Qatar. Not only is this farcically corrupt, it is blatantly unconstitutional. Congress must not allow this over-the-top kleptocracy to proceed.

For those confused by the China tariff news: • Trump caved and got zero in return • No manufacturing moved back to the USA • 30% tariff is still a huge tax on Americans • 90 day pause still causes uncertainty • Trump lost all negotiating leverage

In exchange for getting nothing from China, we agreed to remove the gun we had pointed at our own head. We will continue to aim the gun at our own foot, however. Masterful negotiating.

NEW: Report from the nonpartisan Yale Budget Lab finds that, despite trade ‘deals’ with China and the UK, Trump’s tariffs will still cost American families $2,800 more this year. It’s the highest tariff tax in nearly 100 years.

Yikes: New consumer sentiment numbers from UMich are brutal — down over 30% since November and now at the second lowest level ever recorded. Americans feel worse today than during the depths of the pandemic.

Must-read from former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine: "I believe that the only way to secure U.S. interests is to stand up for democracies and to stand against autocrats. Peace at any price is not peace at all -- it is appeasement" freep.com/story/opinion/…
