Tariffs are taxes. Consumers pay those taxes, and they are regressive—meaning they hit low and middle income people harder than high income people. Coupled with Trump's tax cuts for the rich, this will be the largest transfer of wealth from the working and middle class to the wealthy in history.

The totalitarian levels of bad faith and disingenuousness from MAGA is funny at one level but also deeply depressing because it’s the foundation for all this and until it cracks, I’m not quite sure how we get out alive.

How can the US hold a World Cup when our country’s leaders want to ensure no one wants to travel here from the rest of the world? We should have this privilege taken away from us.

America taking over Greenland is a foolish idea. America destroying its relationship with Canada is utter idiocy. America applying tariffs and engaging in trade wars with neighbors is economic nonsense. A lunatic is holding America hostage and his enablers are making fools of themselves.
