So lemme get this straight. You are eliminating the tariffs on tropical fruits, coffee and beef to lower prices since you took the mantel of the "affordability" President today.
I'm a little confused, though. If tariffs weren't paid for by me, then how is eliminating them saving me money? Ill wait.

Ghislaine Maxwell has been barred from participating in service dog training while in prison because of her crimes.
I feel like if prison officials don't trust you around dogs, you shouldn't be eligible for a pardon under any circumstances.

Iโm not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or โpauseโ in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

I just got a report that the Minneapolis VA has stopped hiring workers thanks to a hasty Trump Executive Order.
Theyโve rescinded offers to dozens of people who were going to fill critical roles to care for vets.

End of year, I always book health appointments and try to "use up" my insurance benefits. Feels dystopian. Like why can't I get health care when needed without worrying about breaking the bank? (And why doesn't healthcare include vision, dental, mental?)
