The President made products more expensive for the American people. People are going to tell their senators, we don't like this. So it's time for my Senate colleagues to weigh in on this debate.

Think of all the money brought in by those illegal tariffs as an enormous CAVA bag stuffed with cash.

They will deny it ever existed. And you will never see a penny of it.

Tommy Robinson was barred from the US. Trump's border force has now let him in The anti-migrant activist reportedly received a visa hours before his flight departed

British far-right agitator Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (aka Tommy Robinson), previously barred from the US because of his long rap sheet, secured a visa and has met with Kari Lake, the self-proclaimed acting CEO of USAGM. He has recently been revealed to be in the pay of the Kremlin for decades.

What problem is Trump's new global 10% tariff meant to solve?

If it's about leverage, ask: How much leverage do you get from a tariff that disappears in 150 days?

If it's onshoring: Who builds new factories based on tariff that disappear before the factory is built?

It's a tax. That's all it is.

Russia: bombs Ukraine, damages an oil pipeline to Europe.

The collaborator regimes in Hungary and Slovakia: banning diesel shipments to Ukraine because Russia damaged the pipeline.

The level of inhuman grotesque borders on stupid comedy.

β€œChildren never start wars, yet they suffer the most from them.”

Deterring Russia is the only effective long-term strategy for dealing with Moscow.

It’s about making the Kremlin see a simple reality every day: war comes at too high a cost. Deterrence must work not just until the end of the current conflict, but far beyond -

Saturday lunch for the displaced cats and dogs in Izium, eastern Ukraine. Izium was liberated in 2022 but remains very close to the frontline with drone attacks frequent. We have a number of feeding stations here, and the team delivers to residents taking care of dozens of pets.

As the U.S. tries to starve 10 million Cubans, 15 million kids in the U.S. don't know where their next meal is coming from and more than 600,000 people live on the streets, in addition to the millions, like me, who can't afford healthcare.
