Good Morningā
Todayās headlines serve up a full-course reminder that in Trumpās Washington, āAmerican hotnessā isnāt about substanceājust red hats and red flags.
While Trump plays chicken with the global nuclear order and tells the Supreme Court heāll ārespectā them (how generous), China is torching U.S. investments, Americans are paying ātariff surchargesā on essentials, and the Social Security Administration is declaring immigrants dead. You know, normal stuff.
Meanwhile, minimum wages are being slashed, books are being banned, DEI is in the crosshairs, and the Education Department is now threatening entire states. Not to be outdone, RFK Jr. is promising to solve autism like itās a Sudoku puzzle, and South Carolina is busy revving up the firing squad.
So buckle up. The markets are panicking, the courts are rubber-stamping political deportations, and the only thing growing faster than censorship is Trumpās delusions about cognitive exams.
Letās dig into the chaosābecause if we donāt pay attention, theyāll keep rewriting reality while calling it greatness.
Stay informed, stay engaged. šŖ

This Day in History:
On April 12, 1861, the American Civil War began as Confederate forces opened fire on Fort Sumter in South Carolina, marking the start of a conflict that would shape the nation's future. In 1945, President Franklin D. Roosevelt died of a cerebral hemorrhage in Warm Springs, Georgia, leading to Vice President Harry S. Truman assuming the presidency during a critical phase of World War II. A significant milestone in space exploration occurred on April 12, 1961, when Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human in space, completing an orbit around Earth aboard Vostok 1. This achievement is celebrated annually as Cosmonautics Day in Russia and as the International Day of Human Space Flight worldwide. In the realm of music, Bill Haley and His Comets recorded "Rock Around the Clock" in 1954, a song that would become a defining anthem of the rock and roll era. Additionally, on April 12, 1981, NASA launched the Space Shuttle Columbia, marking the first flight of the Space Shuttle program and ushering in a new era of reusable spacecraft.
