That's called an Export Tax. Now US don't only pay a tax/tariff on what US imports from abroad. US companies are now extorted to pay a tax for selling US made products abroad. How will corporations make that up? By increasing the price of US made products sold to US. What a way to run US economy.

Look how Bush's dirty WMD salesforce at the NYTimes can't tell the truth about Trump's cooked deal

Another horrific series of press rights abuses tonight at hands of LAPD.

Initial reports are 4 journalists injured (several bleeding), 3 cameras broken, 5 put in zip ties.

All in defiance of state law, a judge's order, and chief's signed order.

LAPD can't police itself. Maybe the judge will.

Trump’s Call to Scrap ‘Horrible’ Chip Program Spreads Panic

The CHIPS Act set off a manufacturing boom, creating jobs and ensuring the technologies of the future are made here at home.

By rolling back this law, Trump is weakening American leadership and letting our adversaries get ahead.

Trump administration petitioned the Supreme Court to halt a federal judge’s ruling that restricts immigration agents from conducting broad, suspicion-less stops in the Los Angeles region.

U.S. District Judge Maame E. Frimpong, who presides over California’s Central District, barred agents from using certain characteristics, whether individually or combined, as the sole basis for stopping and questioning someone. In effect, the order prohibits racial profiling within her jurisdiction.
