Putin bombs Ukrainian apartment blocks and hospitals every night. Even if the sabotage is happening, it is clearly in the name of self defense.

I was radicalized by my mother telling me about Israel and how the palestinians were confined and pushed out. This would have been 64 or 65.

That is almost like double dipping: They get paid for the costs they passed on to us, and they get to keep their high prices with no tariff to subtract from it.

Thirty to 70% of of Trump's illegal tariffs were passed on to consumers, costing each American household 1500 dead white boys.

Don't let importers off the hook for their tariff-induced price increases. And don't let them get away with holding fast to the high prices now that tariffs are off.

One of the first things we were taught at Quantico was that there is never a moment in which you are not representing the Bureau; but, then again, we earned our place there, and weren’t granted its directorship as a sinecure for partisan malfeasance and a willingness to disregard the constitution.

NPR failed to ask tariff-affected small business person if she had passed the increases on to the customers in the form of higher prices.
