personally would like to see every store show what part of the price increase is due to tariffs bc if these tariffs ever come down, i need to see that price go right back down

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

Reports are emerging that Trump will peel back some of the auto tariffs. It is a useful step. He's introducing some gradualism which would be helpful in *every industry*. But notice these favors only go to politically connected businesses like autos, and small biz is left out.

I’ve never reacted well to small minded people who try to control others thoughts and speech and it makes absolutely no difference to me if they are from the right or the left.

We may all be about to take a crash course in Bonds 101. I don’t want to either!

You cannot deport an American citizen from America. If this comes to pass -- and hopefully it will not -- call it what it is: state-sanctioned kidnapping and human trafficking

Republicans can end the tariffs whenever they want to do so. They are choosing to go along for the ride.

This is the direct result of the inane fake "formula" they used to calculate tariff rates. It penalizes poor, export-dependent states who cannot afford large volumes of US exports and who have been forced by colonial and postcolonial economic structures into a dependence on primary commodity exports

You can totally see how this mf bankrupted a casino.

I cannot emphasize enough: without due process it is impossible to say whether someone has violated the law or not. Due process is a basic guarantee of individual liberty.

Today was a grim, terrible day for the United States and the cause of democracy. Putin, along with other dictators around the world, can finally look at Trump with confidence and think: one of us. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Another loss for skating. Dick Button has died at 95. May his memory be a blessing.

There are reports circulating in the figure skating community that several of those aboard the plane that crashed were kids and coaches from the National Development Camp held in Wichita after Nationals.
