#TACO
Trump/Lil Marco are threatening Chinese student visas (power move, right?) while simultaneously being in tariff negotiations with China over what Trump admits were unreasonable 145% tariffs (Uh oh, wait? What?)

This is what amateurs, chicken hawks, and smug dumb bullies look like who have no idea China has the bigger cudgel. If China walks from tariff negotiations Trump either re-imposes his self described crazy 145% tariff and shuts down our economy or caves caves caves. Xi does not have the same internal polling pressure or billionaire variable as China's President For Life.

#TACO and #RICO - Rubio Invariably Chickens Out.

“Some Republicans are concerned that Trump’s use of the WH to throw a lavish dinner for the memecoin holders personally enriching him may not be appropriate.”

“An INTL trucking logistics firm is buying as much as $20M worth of his memecoin to influence the admin’s trade policy.”

Finally, some pushback against Trump’s out-of-control corruption. The first act of his presidency was profiteering off his memecoin.

"One major part of the deal with Bukele that’s gone under-discussed: Bukele managed to get the US to deport several MS13 leaders who could testify about deals he made with the gang before the State of Exception.

Now those allegations won’t be aired publicly in court."
-A Reichlin-Melnick

Bukele uses QPQ like Trump. They're mobsters -should've never been allowed serve in public office. R MOC are complicit in Trump/Bukele's .

Trump's eldest son Donald Trump Jr has come up with a new bus venture & it's only meant for the super-rich. And it will not be in FL but at stone's throw from the WH -- an invite-only members club in DC. To become a member, you need to have 2 things. Only💰won't suffice as the membership is limited only to invitation.

The club will cater to business & tech moguls looking to cozy up to the Trump admin.

This is on steroids.

Sat Noon - #StopCopCity: Imaginary Crimes Tour @ North American Indian Center of #Boston, 12 pm

"ATLANTA, GA — Supporters of people facing racketeering charges in Georgia for their alleged involvement in protesting #CopCity are launching a public education tour this week to draw attention to the ongoing criminal cases and increased repression against social movements. The "Stop Cop City: Imaginary Crimes" tour starts in Atlanta on April 4 and will include events in over 60 cities across the country through April and May. The tour will feature panel discussions, anti-repression resources, and merchandise. The tour also aims to provide direct support to defendants by raising morale and much-needed funds.

Dozens of people arrested at various times and locations around #Atlanta since 2021 were indicted in August 2023 under the #Georgia Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act. More than 17 months later, none of the 61 people charged with #RICO have been tried."

"Holy crap. Here are🚨91 pages of letters that 14 House Dems just sent to the 9 law firms that have paid off Trump to not attack them.

Lots of Qs aimed at sorting out if they violated fed bribery/anti-fraud/racketeering laws.

This fresh round of Qs for these firms come after 2 other Dems, Rep Raskin & Sen Blumenthal, sent their own letters on Tues *more scathing.

"An illegal shakedown of the legal profession.”
