It's really important that people understand something: tariffs are paid by the importer, not the exporter. That cost is then passed on to their customers. This means tariffs on Chinese (or any) imports are a massive tax increase on Americans. Trump's statement is 100% untruešŸ‘‡šŸ¾

The United States Treasury has taken in MANY billions of dollars from the Tariffs we are charging China and other countries that have not treated us fairly. In the meantime we are doing well in various Trade Negotiations currently going on. At some point this had to be done!

We traveled with @HIVEDigitalTech to the ItaipĆŗ Dam; a literal hydro mega-project powering homes, cities, and now Bitcoin. Turning water into digital scarcity is one of the craziest real-world Bitcoin demos you’ll ever see. ⚔

I’ve been flying @AlaskaAir for transcon flights, and it’s been incredible. Tonight’s meal is consistent with what they’ve been serving. In both economy and first, Alaska food is unmatched by U.S. domestic carriers, and AS first class beats their int’l biz class meals.

I do not support sending young men and women to die in Iran. I’ve always been a strong supporter of Israel, but we can’t allow @netanyahu to write checks that have to be cashed with American bodies. This is insanity.

Earlier this week I stepped in as Interim CEO at the Greater Sacramento Urban League, and I’m thrilled to be serving my hometown community for the next several months. Thanks to Brandi Cummings and @KCRAnews for having me on to discuss the change.

Living in San Diego allows me the blessing of daily interactions with Sailors, Marines and their families. When people speak of deployments and war, I ask myself "Is it worth XX giving their life?" When it comes to the Panama Canal, Greenland, or Gaza, the answer for me is no.

Never heard of Doechii until tonight, she's incredible. Just came across her NPR Tiny Desk Concert from two months ago, and it's one of the best I've seen. This woman has the kind of talent which earns Kennedy Center Honors.

Welcome to #BlackHistoryMonth and year 19 of my celebration through literature! Throughout the month I'm going to share from an album I assembled a decade ago, along with a few changes. Feel free to borrow, share, print, or distribute anything I post. In John 16:20 Jesus tells us

Lorenzo Sewell chose #MLKDay to mock Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on worldwide television at the close of a presidential inauguration. Not sure I’ve seen a more shameful display, ever.

Wow, didn’t expect the presidential inauguration to end with a minstrel show. Lorenzo Sewell is an embarrassment to himself, his family, and our nation.

In Matthew 25:34-40, Jesus says what we do for the least among us we do for him. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his life fighting for striking Memphis sanitation workers. As we reflect on Dr. King’s life ask yourself: are you for the garbageman or the oppressor? #MLKDay

Folks, keep in mind that most of the nasty replies filled with F-bombs, misogynistic comments, and racist content is generated by bots using fake profiles. Don’t respond, just block and keep it moving.

The wind chill at the 2009 inauguration for Barack Obama was about 14°F. He, his wife, and young daughters didn’t run inside the Capitol Rotunda, they just wore coats.šŸ¤·šŸ¾ā€ā™‚ļø

Historical note for MAGA, @GregAbbott_TX, and @realDonaldTrump: shortly after Richard Nixon was elected to his second term, Harry Truman (a Democrat) passed away. President Nixon ordered a 30 day mourning period, resulting in flags being flown half-staff at his own inauguration.

If you’ve never heard of Mr. Spencer, read about this integrity-filled life. All my love to his daughter, @karenspencer1. ā€œStu Spencer, a Republican strategist who helped elect an actor, Ronald Reagan, California governor and, later, president, has diedā€

Spencer helped invent the modern political consulting business with its emphasis on TV-centric campaigning.

First, I hope this baby is found safe. Second, a 10:30pm emergency alert ping on every mobile phone in San Diego, for a situation which began 36 hours ago, is an unnecessary abuse of the system. You don’t shock a couple of million people out of bed to look for a car.
