One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ?
They didnβt feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses.
Thatβs a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue.
The cost of tariffs isnβt just the cost of the tariff

Save America, Flip Florida!
Special elections in Florida's 1st and 6th Congressional Districts!
The GOP has their SMALLEST majority since 1932! There's 2 special elections happening RIGHT NOW and if they go blue, power in the house shifts!
President Musk and VP Trump are scared, let's pitch in $5, $10, or whatever you can to send a message! Let's go!

My Child Is Trans. Here's How We Can Protect Her Rights in the Trump Era.
Here's how allies can fight for LGBTQ+ rights under Trump.
Anti-trans laws are meant to divide and conquer. They can drive people to a sense of powerlessness, but the entirety of political power doesn't exist only in DC. There are thousands of elected officials across the country with power, too. And they can push back against the federal government.

There is a very slim margin in the house.
Why can't Democrats quietly refuse to show up and deny them a quorum so they can't vote?
You better believe every single Republican isn't there every single day. But we can force them to be.
Stop making them comfortable by giving them votes.

Seeing Trump cut the national health apparatus off cold, I don't think it's entirely crazy to imagine Musk really believes and has convinced him the pandemic was a positive, weeding out the weak and lightening the load on government aid. It would be absolutely consistent with his, um, interests.

Corporate greed is Chipotle nearly doubling the price of a Burrito to $12.30 & quadrupling profits to $1.23 billion in the past decade while giving its CEO $22.5 million last year & setting aside $2 billion for stock buybacks this year. Don't cite inflation. Cite the damn greed.
