We did try to warn what would happen. We shouted it from the rooftops. But some folks refused to believe us. https://t.co/lSVwUMHMHP

So, CBS News decided not to air this 25 yr veteran federal agent pointing out all the ways the ICE agent was in the wrong for shooting Renee Good, on its broadcast (I wonder why🤨). At least it’s online. Reshare.

📈 Supply Chain Vulnerabilities and Economic Risks Amid U.S.–China Trade Disruption In 2024, China accounted for 13.4% of total U.S. goods imports, including 26.8% of consumer goods—24.7% of durable goods and 38.2% of semi-durable goods. With high U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports, there is an increased risk of retail shortages, which could reduce employment and dampen economic activity in logistics and distribution. Industrial supplies (mostly processed), capital goods, and parts and accessories for transport equipment made up $308 billion—67%—of U.S. imports from China in 2024, while consumer goods totaled $130 billion (28%). This highlights that U.S. economic activity depends more on Chinese industrial inputs than on consumer products. China accounted for 15.7% of total imports in these categories, including 11.1% of industrial supplies, 20.1% of capital goods and components, and 13.4% of transport-related parts. Although imports from China represent only about 1.5% of U.S. GDP, the economy remains vulnerable to supply chain shocks. The risk extends beyond disruptions in transportation and distribution; U.S. manufacturing sectors rely heavily on Chinese parts, raw materials, intermediate goods, and capital equipment. The absence of even a single component—however small in value—can halt an entire production line. These disruptions can ripple through supply chains, affecting both upstream suppliers and downstream users. Transitioning to non-Chinese sources takes time, requiring firms to identify alternatives, reconfigure production processes, and ensure technical compatibility. As a result, a localized disruption can quickly escalate, potentially affecting a significant share of U.S. economic activity and heightening the risk of a broader recession. #USA #China #trade #imports #economy #TradeWar #tariffs

@kylegriffin1 Wait until the longshoremen and get laid off when container ships reach covid level declines because of tariffs. I'm still waiting for a critical mass to realize 77 million Trump voters caused this economic crisis that could damage the US for years. Republicans can stop this.

The White House has put itself and the country in a bad situation but doesn’t realize it yet. Around April 10th China to USA trade shut down. It takes ~30 days for containers to go from China to LA. 45 to Houston by sea, 45 to Chicago by train. 55 to New York by sea. That means that there are no economic effects of what was done on April 10th until about May 10th. Around that time (it’s already started to happen) trucking work is going to dry up. Warehouses will start doing layoffs because no labor is needed to unload containers and some products will be out of stock, reducing the need for shipping labor. All this will start in the Los Angeles area. After about 2 weeks, it’ll start hitting Chicago and Houston. Let’s say the White House, after 3 weeks, changes its mind, on May 31st. “This isn’t working out like we thought it would. Tariffs back to 0.” Let’s say China says “bygones be bygones, we’ll go back to how things were”. Let’s say every factory in China that got screwed by their orders being cancelled says the same thing “no problem, we’ll make and ship”. The problem is, even under the most favorable conditions of China and the factories restarting economic ties as though nothing happened, it will be at least another 30 days before economic activity is revived. And that’s just in LA. In Chicago/Houston, you’ll need to wait another 45 days. New York, at that point, will still be getting containers from before April 10th, they will then have 50 days (May 31 minus April 10) of zero economic activity at the ports, in trucking of Chinese goods, in warehousing. The whole situation is a bit like lockdowns. Once you shut down, it takes a long time to get economic activity back to where it was, if you ever can. And again, this assumes, that China and its factories, which make things you can’t buy elsewhere, will start right back up again as though nothing happened, which is unlikely. It’s almost like we’re speeding towards a brick wall but the driver of the car doesn’t see it yet. By the time he does, it’ll be too late to hit the brakes.

@Stillfront Just dropped in to Twitter to "thank" Stillfront for their latest update to Big Farm Mobile Harvest game, which has shut down my library (which I paid money for) because I don't play their stupid map mini game. I'm physically disabled and this is DISCRIMINATORY.

It’d be a shame if Vought’s bogus tipline were flooded with stories of how the CFPB had helped protect American consumers. But if you wanted to tell your story of how the CFPB helped YOU, you could go to tipline@cfpb.gov and let Vought know how important the CFPB is.

If Vought and the GOP successfully eliminate the CFPB, regular consumers like you and me will have less recourse to go after companies that break laws.

Remarkably, you can read about all the scams the CFPB have heard about, and the ways they’ve helped people. Check out their Consumer Complaint Database. This is what the GOP is trying to crush—consumer help. consumerfinance.gov/data-research/…

This is the MAGA strategy—spread lies that vital government agencies are somehow the enemy… in order to protect those who are trying to fleece the public. More than 7.7M Americans have been aided by the CFPB in just the last 3 years.

Vought just set up a “tipline” so Americans can report abuses—not by corporations, but by the CFPB itself. He claims it’s been “weaponized.” Vought is targeting CFPB workers who are just doing their jobs of investigating companies breaking the law. realclearpolitics.com/articles/2025/…

Just dropping in to Twitter for the 1st time in days to ask @progressive what the hell they're doing advertising on Fox. Found this list in the nice place, so I've redacted the author's personal info.

So let me get this straight. If you apply for a job at a grocery store, you have to undergo a background check. But, if you apply to be Director of National Intelligence, you don't? Got it.
