You cannot negotiate a trade agreement, sign it, celebrate it, then blow it up and expect anyone to trust the next deal.
And who actually pays? American importers and American families.
Tariffs are a tax on us.

This is really dumb.
Canada is our closest ally and the top buyer of American exports on Earth. These tariffs hit about $20 billion in goods and apply even to products protected under the USMCA trade deal Trump himself signed and bragged about.
This is your daily reminder that Trump and Republicans are spending billions of your tax dollars on an unauthorized war in Iran and Stephen Miller’s ICE agenda while gutting Medicaid, slashing SNAP, and driving up your health care costs.
As Los Angeles burned, people were on Polymarket betting on how many acres it would take.
One wrote, “That was fun. Until the next time.”
This is sick. I’m going to do all I can to ban it.
Remove that independent check, and you don't strengthen law enforcement, you just corrode public trust in it.
No one is above the law, and that has to include the people enforcing it.
Real accountability is what protects good officers. When the public trusts that incidents get an honest, independent review, it protects the agents who follow the rules, and it isolates the ones who don't.
DOJ and DHS deny any change is underway. I hope they're right. But if this reporting holds, every American who respects the badge should be alarmed.
This is really bad.
The New York Times reports that FBI managers were told the bureau will stop investigating violent confrontations involving immigration agents, handing those cases instead to an arm of ICE. In other words, letting the agency investigate itself.

This story is not getting the attention it deserves.
Confidentiality agreements forced on military families in privatized base housing have jumped more than 300% in six years. In 2020 just 15 families signed one. Last year the number hit 67.

No amount of spin can change the plain truth. If confirmed, Todd Blanche would be Trump's defense attorney disguised as Attorney General.
He cannot be the people’s lawyer while the sitting president is his client. He must not be m my confirmed.
When companies silence the families who report the worst of it, the data looks cleaner than the reality, and the same dangerous homes get leased to the next family.
These are the people who serve our country. They should not have to choose between a safe home and their right to speak.
One family reported mice had chewed through their stove wiring, a fire hazard the previous tenants had already flagged.
More than 200,000 people live in this housing.
The conditions are real.
A Senate investigation released last week found lead exposure that threatened a newborn’s health and mold contamination severe enough to send families to the emergency room at Fort Stewart and Fort Benning.
Here’s what the agreements do.
When a family fights their landlord over mold, lead paint, a rodent infestation, they often have to sign away their right to talk about it just to enter the dispute process. Even if they never get a settlement, they stay silent.
The gag is the price of admission.

This president kept nearly 30 ventures with foreign partners and now profits from companies whose fortunes his own government controls.
This cannot be normalized.
Either we will end the corruption, or the corruption will be the end of us.

Trump’s holding company collected at least $125,000,000 from foreign sources last year, from more than a dozen countries.
Every president in modern history stepped away from their business to avoid even the appearance of a conflict.
A preliminary review released last week sided with American aluminum companies. The agency that decides this company’s fate answers to the president. The president took $2,000,000 dollars from its largest investor.
This is one payment.
It sells Trump-branded wine in South Korea and hosted Eric Trump at its Seoul headquarters in February, where executives discussed expanding trade between the two countries.
As recently as last month, the Commerce Department was weighing whether to raise tariffs further on Korea Aluminium.
