But not only will consumers not get THAT benefit, but once Trump throws tariffs on Denmark it may raise prices that way.
This morning was a rude awakening.
My eyes opened and my mind quickly began to assemble the first few seconds of my day when a terrible interruption broke in and I remembered:
Yes, that unhinged madman is actually our President again.

Non-binary people exist.
Nothing anyone says will stop that from being true.
In the first two days of this presidency, we have a delusional billionaire de-facto cabinet member giving a Nazi salute and a sitting GOP senator calling for the deportation of a minister preaching about mercy for the vulnerable.
Super work, MAGA voters. Hope this was worth owning the Libs.
Literally nothing is as MAGA as watching a bunch of self-righteous frauds who pretend to give a damn about Christianity, viciously attacking a minister who preached about caring for the vulnerable while their rapist-felon messiah scoffed at her.
Your religion is short one Jesus.

*_ Pam Hemphill said she planned to refuse Trump's pardon. (PHOTO: KYLE GREEN FOR WSJ) Pam Hemphill, of Idaho, who served 60 days in prison after pleading guilty to misdemeanor charges, said she planned to refuse the presidential pardon.
"It'd be an insult to the Capitol Police and the rule of law, and to our nation," she said. "I pleaded guilty because I was guilty. I don't want to be a part of contributing to them trying to rewrite history-that January 6 was not an insurrection. It was, it was a riot. And I think taking a pardon is like a message that what happened that day was OK."
This is an amazing quote, from a Jan 6 prisoner who is refusing Trump’s pardon.

New: Trump officials have paused all external communications at health agencies like CDC, FDA, NIH.
No health alerts and the famed MMWRs; no updates to key websites or social media posts.
And no indication how long the pause will last.

DHS has terminated the memberships of everyone on its advisory committees.
This includes several cyber committees, like CISA's advisory panel and the Cyber Safety Review Board, which was investigating Salt Typhoon.
That review is "dead," person familiar says.

Undocumented immigrants contribute $33.9 billion in social benefits that they are barred from using, including $25.7 billion in Social Security.
These programs stand to lose billions of dollars from a mass deportation program.

(b) The Federal contracting process shall be streamlined to enhance speed and efficiency, reduce costs, and require Federal contractors and subcontractors to comply with our civil-rights laws. Accordingly: (1) Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965 (Equal Employment Opportunity), is hereby revoked. For 90 days from the date of this order, Federal contractors may continue to comply with the regulatory scheme in effect on January 20, 2025. (ii) The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs within the Department of Labor shall immediately cease: (A) Promoting "diversity"; (B) Holding Federal contractors and subcontractors responsible for taking "affirmative action"; and (C) Allowing or encouraging Federal contractors and subcontractors to engage in workforce balancing based on race, color, sex, sexual preference, religion, or national origin.
(iii) In accordance with Executive Order 13279 of December 12, 2002 (Equal Protection of the Laws for Faith-Based and Community Organizations), the employment, procurement, and contracting practices of Federal contractors and subcontractors shall not consider race, color, sex, sexual preference, religion, or national origin in ways that violate the Nation's civil rights laws. (iv) The head of each agency shall include in every contract or grant award: (A) A term requiring the contractual counterparty or grant recipient to agree that its compliance in all respects with all applicable Federal anti-discrimination laws is material to the government's payment decisions for purposes of section 3729(b) (4) of title 31, United States Code; and (B) A term requiring such counterparty or recipient to certify that it does not operate any programs promoting DEI that violate any applicable Federal anti-discrimination laws.
BREAKING: In a new executive order sent out by the White House, Donald Trump has revoked the federal contractor nondiscrimination executive order, EO 11246, that was signed by Lyndon Johnson in 1965 and has protected employees of businesses seeking federal contracts from discrimination ever since.
