How the United States is eating Trump's tariffs U.S. companies and consumers are bearing the brunt of the country's new import tariffs, early indications show, contradicting assertions by President Donald Trump and complicating the Federal Reserve's fight against inflation.

No shit! We said this months ago.

You aren't upset at the people keeping the government shut to cover for a pedophile? πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

Got my flu shot today. My doctors office was out of Covid vaccines, but they said they would call me when they get some.

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, β€œdid you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, β€œno but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

This Is the Real Reason Trump's a Disaster Merchant Declare anyone you like a national security threat. In fact, declare everything a threat to national security that only can be addressed by Draconian measures.

Trump is like the kid in β€œThe Sixth Sense” except instead of seeing dead people everywhere, he sees national emergencies. But it’s not because he’s a hysteric. It’s part of the plan to be our king. My latest www.thedailybeast.com/this-is-the-...

Last weekend, I believe I saw my first ICE agent. I pulled into a gas station to get a drink just as a soldier wearing full tactical gear and armor was walking into the store. He appeared to be off-duty. I took my business elsewhere. The United States is unrecognizable.

What condition would necessitate monthly treatment for two to three days in hiding and cause bruises on his hand?

This headline is false. Republicans are in the majority. Republicans were unable to pass a bill to keep the government open.

This is the correct way to answer bad faith questioning framed by right wing narratives. Federal takeovers of cities inside the United States are not a thing. Asking the question normalizes it, and she did not play their game for one second.

Saying she would do this differently to get elected makes it appear like she doesn't really have principles. It should have been an easy moral choice to oppose genocide.

DISNEY: "OK, we are putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. You can resubscribe now."

ME: "I unsubscribed because you immorally bowed to fascism. I'm not going to resubscribe because you immorally bowed to finances."

And it would be extra nice if the media could start reporting on the obvious fascism Trump is engaged in. It isn't just name-calling.

Kimmel should walk away immediately if there is any demand to modify criticism of the administration. Non negotiable.

California bans most law enforcement officers from wearing masks during operations California will be the first state to ban most law enforcement officers from covering their faces while conducting official business. Gov.

This is good news. We do not need or want unidentified military or police in California.

Did the Disney+ cancelation page crash? Or did they crash it to slow down cancelations?

Declaring anti-fascism is illegal is the same as declaring yourself a fascist.
