Don Bacon: "From my vantage point here in Nebraska, we're seeing a bit of a troubled economic mess. Right now it's a troubled time. In Nebraska the GDP has decreased by 6% over the last year and it's all about trade...so what I hear about weak jobs numbers, we're seeing that in Nebraska right now"

I lived in NE for many years. I think it’s possible to see moderate/centrist dems once again elected there. Ballot measures show NE repub voters will break away from party affiliation. Lack of DNC funding/outreach to rural areas, and abysmal leadership at the state party level are major obstacles

Outreach to rural areas is a waste of money which is why Dems smartly don't do it. They can and should focus on flippable districts. Are you even aware that we just elected a Democratic mayor in Omaha?

I have a buddy from Vegas. He's talking about the layoffs and the absolutely HORRIBLE numbers there because they depend a lot on tourism, and NOBODY in their right mind wants to risk coming here with extrajudicial kidnappings on our streets in broad daylight and detention risks for no real reason.

And that's just ONE city. I saw a report on Maine's tourism (I guess a lot of Canadians go to Maine for summer vacation) where tourist industry (Inns, rentals, etc) folks were talking about just surviving THIS FIRST year...and may not be able to make it a SECOND year at these numbers. Scary.

He's never been unable to lie, but he's found a WHOLE NEW "power band" to accelerate his dishonesty as he fleeces the American people. We'll see what happens now that the TrumpTax went into effect: I wonder if there are still morons believing "tariffs bring 💰 INTO the country" when it's a SALES TAX🤷‍♂️

I dread it, but I am relieved because I thought the TrumpTax would go into effect sooner and we'd crash by July. We lasted longer than I predicted, but the effects of his policies and capriciousness are already here and will only be exacerbated by the TrumpTax. I feel for my farmers: they'll be hurt

It's not just the tax. It's ppl afraid to go out bc they may be profiled. That's a big hit. And the tourism apocalypse is another huge hit. Thousands of public service employees lost jobs in DC. The places they use to spend $ will crash now, and ripple outward. All self inflicted damage. All of it.

But the only rich buddies of Trump's that are benefiting from this are the ones who get the inside information and can dump stocks or sell short. Incompetently set random TACO tariffs don't give US manufacturers a reliable prediction that they'll stick around long enough to be worth investing in.

Basically everything he does is bad for everyone except fossil fuel industries, and he's trashing the rest of the economy badly (between tariffs, attacks on immigrants, killing research and tourism, etc.) so their customers won't have the money to keep buying more either.
