Treasury Secretary Admits Trump's Tariffs Are Paid by Americans Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent acknowledged that U.S. importers, or American consumers, pay for Donald Trump's tariffs.

Telling the truth that Trump’s tariffs are taxes on American consumers could cost Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent his job unless he lies and claims he misspoke or was misconstrued. It’s just a matter of time . . .

(1/3) I believe, more than ever, Trump needs to be chided, insulted, and laughed at. His ability to let things go, is nil. He's making mistakes. He's narcissistically battered over poor polling, increasingly paranoid, and his hyperbolic posts (like the many wars he's ended) are laughably false.

White House Did Have Secret Epstein Talks Despite public denials, Trump officials met for damage control talks, relocating from the VP’s home to the White House, according to reports.

Turns out the Trump administration really did huddle behind closed doors to talk about the Jeffrey Epstein files, despite JD Vance’s public denial.

"The meeting was reportedly relocated from Vance’s D.C. home to the White House. Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel were said to be in attendance, according to MSNBC."

Today is the day that Trump was supposed to impose tough new sanctions on Russia if they didn’t agree to a cease fire.

Trump’s Tariffs Won’t Spare Even the ‘American Made’ Plus: Bill Cassidy is sorry about all that.

"President Donald Trump is once again unilaterally imposing tariffs affecting the imports of dozens of countries, and just like last time, the new levies are being applied so haphazardly that they could inflict considerable damage to American industries."

More than two weeks ago I called for Democratic governors to redistrict 30 Republicans out of their seats.

I stand by that.

Meiselas: We’re seeing a global realignment. Trump touts fake deals, but countries say there is no deal. Modi may meet Xi. Australia’s buying warships from Japan, Canada’s buying planes from France, and Europe is turning away from U.S. weapons. The world order is reshuffling.

Trump cuts threaten access to birth control for millions of women Birth control is routine for many Americans and polls show it's popular across party lines. Now, the Trump administration is withholding funds that provide contraception for low income people.

The entire business model of R1 public universities rests on 4 revenue sources:

1. Federal grants
2. Private gifts/endowments
3. Tuition (esp. from foreign students)
4. State $

For decades, 📈 in 1-3 offset a secular 📉 in 4. Now, 1 & 3 are being decimated & 4 ain't coming back. The math is clear.

Donald Trump said he ended the friendship in 2004 when he learned that Epstein had “stolen” underage girls on his payroll at Mar-a-Lago.

But that doesn’t appear to be the case...

As of today, import taxes (aka tariffs) have hit their highest level since the Great Depression. Americans are now expected to pay an average of 18.3% more for imported products. Remember when Trump ran on lowering costs?

How Trump’s “mass deportation” plan would ruin America It would be brutal, costly, and likely illegal.

New Trump EO starts by saying: "Every tax dollar the Government spends should improve American lives or advance American interests." In fact, his administration's cuts to vaccine and medical research, gutting of the NIH and the IRS, mass deportations, and corrupt behavior will do the opposite.

Trump's Secretary of Defense is proud of slavery in the United States.

Trump will restore a Confederate monument in the nation’s capital “A statue honoring a racist and a traitor has no place on the streets of DC,” the city’s congressional delegate said.

Since resuming office, President Donald Trump has sought to rewrite American history, rejecting any signs of historical division and exalting some of the nation’s most notorious oppressors.

Not for nothing but Tennessee is a hotbed of pro-terror neo-Nazism right now.

With at least one Nazi in those broader networks having ALREADY quite famously done jail time after serving in the military and plotting theft of military supplies for terroristic purposes

The Trump Administration’s cuts to the VA are harming veterans.
