@hcrichardson.bsky.social Tariffs are Trump’s favorite plaything. He loves to beat up on other countries. But his tariffs will hurt Americans by pushing up prices & they’ll anger dozens of countries. Plus, Trump’s new tariffs are based on absurd false premises. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

@hcrichardson.bsky.social To win in this year’s elections, Democrats need to repeatedly attack Trump for his corruption & conflicts of interest & for making HUGE FINANCIAL GAINS while he has made cuts that hurt millions of Americans struggling to make ends meet www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

@hcrichardson.bsky.social In good news for Democrats, support for Trump within his white, blue-collar base has plummeted as many white voters without college degrees have grown upset about rising inflation, high gas prices & Trump's unsuccessful war against Iran www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

@hcrichardson.bsky.social The nation’s K-shaped economy has been growing more unequal largely because of Trump policies that favor the rich Trump sees himself as a gilded president. He hails the stock market’s boom but ignores the struggles of average Americans www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

@hcrichardson.bsky.social The Bruce Springsteen concert I went to last week was unlike any concert I’ve attended in decades. It was far more than a fabulous, concert; it was an inspiring resistance event. Springsteen is a model for how to stand up against Trump. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

@hcrichardson.bsky.social Elon Musk & other billionaires are seeking to reassure us about AI’s dangers. Don’t believe them We need to strengthen our safety net NOW to protect against AI’s potential dangers, including massive layoffs & increased income inequality www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

@hcrichardson.bsky.social Every time Donald Trump has run for president, he has vowed to drain the swamp in Washington. But ever since he won a 2nd term, not only has he not tried to drain the swamp, he’s turned it into a colossal cesspool with all his corruption www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

@hcrichardson.bsky.social Trump’s approval rating among young Americans has plunged as more & more young people see that Trump has utterly failed to deliver on his promises, like ending inflation & not getting the U.S. into needless wars. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I write about Trump pardoning Jan 6 insurrectionists, fraudsters & criminals whose families donated to Trump To preserve our democracy & basic ethics, the Supreme Ct needs to step up & stop Trump from using his pardon power as a springboard for scandal & sedition www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The 900 billionaires in the US have far too much power over our elections, our economy, our policies & our media. It’s urgent to create a nationwide movement to curb their power to preserve what’s left of our democracy & assure our economy has some basic fairness www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

After the Supreme Court shot down Trump's global tariffs, Trump rushed to impose new 15% across-the-board tariffs Not only will those tariffs hurt millions of Americans, but Trump misread the law he used to impose them. Trump has NO LEGAL AUTHORITY to impose them www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Trump’s vicious attacks on judges—calling them evil, fools, disloyal, lunatics and monsters—are unprecedented. Those ugly attacks are right out of Authoritarian Playbook 101—an effort to delegitimize the judiciary & destroy our system of checks & balances www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Supreme Court has been strangely subservient toward Trump until it ruled against him in the tariff case The justices may go back to being subservient, but Trump's unhinged tirade against the court may persuade the justices to turn increasingly against him. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Let's hope that the Supreme Court's ruling that Trump's tariffs are illegal will be the first in a wave of decisions in which the court—which has been far too subservient toward Trump —stands up to Trump's lawlessness & puts a check on his assault on our democracy www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Despite being the America First president, Trump—by governing by impulse with little strategic vision—is Making China Great Again Trump has weakened America's position vis-a-vis China by alienating allies, slashing research & selling China AI chips www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... @thefarce.org

It was despicable that Trump lied about what happened with Renee Good's killing & it's despicable that Trump & subordinates are again lying about the unjustified killing of Alex Pretti. It's sick that Trump wants us to believe his lies rather than our own eyes. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Trump's outrageous lies about Renee Good & much else bring to mind a memorable line from comedian Richard Pryor: “Ya gonna believe me or your lyin’ eyes?” Demagogue Trump seems to believe he has a magical power to persuade us not to believe our eyes www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... @thefarce.org
