With tariffs, Trump is trading a strong economy for one run on loyalty and retribution. Tariffs scale his weaponization of government across the entire economy, with waivers for loyalists. But history shows that an economy run on favors is ultimately a poor one. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

🚨 Big SCOOP 🚨 Tax revenue could fall by as much as 10% this year, per sources, as taxpayers and businesses see the Trump admin as less likely to challenge tax cheats. That'd be $500 BILLION in lost revenue. It'd nearly double the tax gap in a single year.

This amounts to the most significant data leak in cyber history. Private individuals in the data business now have access to your Social Security information. This violates privacy laws in every state. Hopefully, state AGs will file suit & pursue criminal charges. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/u...
