- Reposted by Alene BeeseEXCLUSIVE: We dug up a video of Donald Trump trashing Qatar in 2017 calling them “funders of terrorism.” I’m sure he would hate if this clip changed their mind to give him a $400 million plane - so definitely don’t repost it.

- Reposted by Alene BeeseRemember this? This is the same Alexis McAdams who falsely reported the Niagara Falls car crash as a terrorist attack, citing “high-level police sources.” Now, she’s misrepresenting Mayor Baraka’s arrest. Once again, Fox News prioritizes fear over facts.

- Reposted by Alene Beese9/ The tariffs are DESIGNED to create economic hardship. Why? So that Trump has a straight face rationale for releasing them, business by business or industry by industry. As he adjusts or grants relief, it’s a win-win: the economy improves and dissent disappears.
- Reposted by Alene Beese3/ You see, our founders created a President with limited and checked powers. They specifically put the power of spending and taxation in the hands of the legislature. Why? Because they watched how kings and despots used spending and taxes to control their subjects.
- Reposted by Alene BeeseThose trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.
- Reposted by Alene BeesePeople will say this is the result of a presidential election, and that’s partly true. But the Constitution does not delegate tariff power to the president, and he is only able to impose these ruinous, peace-destroying taxes because Congress has let him do so. Congress can end this at any time.

- Reposted by Alene BeeseRegardless of how the lying, subservient Republicans spin it, let’s be clear- If the government shuts down, it’s the Republicans who are responsible not the Democrats. They are the creators of this preposterous bill that would decimate the middle class.
- Reposted by Alene BeeseI hope you read, really consider its implications, and share it widely. "It is often said: When the government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. If that is true, then only weeks into Donald Trump’s four-year term, we are approaching tyranny."
