Trump's tariffs cost American households $1,000 last year: Research group President Donald Trump’s tariffs cost the average American household $1,000 last year, according to new research from the nonpartisan Tax Foundation.

Starting to get some figures on the actual cost of Trump Tariffs to US households. That’s a lot of cash to lose for no gain.

As most of us realise, tariffs are a Trump Tax on Americans.

The Trump administration refuses to release the remaining half of the Epstein files, which amounts to over 3 million documents still sealed. Even Republican figures such as Kennedy and Mace are urging for full transparency, with some labeling the situation as the Epstein Administration.

Ukraine makes fastest battlefield gain in 2.5 years Ukraine recaptured 201 square kilometres of territory from Russia in five days last week – its biggest gain in 2.5 years – according to AFP analysis of data from the Institute for the Study of War. Experts from the institute said Ukraine likely took advantage of a recent shutdown of Russian forces’ access to Starlink.

Reform Brexit ruined Britain in every way including our sovereignty. We are weaker,economically,
politically militarily. And in the process quadrupled migration & took boat crossing from 100 to over 45000 and you want to trust a bunch of failures!

Fighters of the 101st Guard Brigade of General Staff conducted clearing operations in Kupyansk. During search and strike actions, they located a Russian group in the basement of a building. Soldiers established voice contact and urged them to surrender. When no one emerged, TM mines were used.

Nazi camps in the 1930’s America. Those hateful groups never disappeared, they quietly worked in the shadows for decades before Trump finally catalyzed those racist uneducated people into a newer version called MAGA.

The UK has never been great at the Winter Olympics.

So records are fairly easy to come by.

But before today we had:

1) never won more than 1 gold at a single games - we now have 3

2) never won more than 1 gold in a single day - today we have 2

3) never had someone win more than 1 medal...

I don't know if that article of satire mentions it or not, but here's another funny detail: some polling companies use AI models instead of real people in order to gauge opinion. So some pollsters are literally just Ouroboros worm-ing this shit without any real information.

Blaming badgers for TB in cattle misses the point that it is intensive animal farming itself that is to blame for the spread of the disease.
