Trump says he’s slapping a 100% sales tax on top of the rest of his tariffs, forcing you to pay that much more for just about everything.

This would mean chaos and pain for any small businesses that rely on China for trade & business.

Republicans could end these tariffs today.

💯 Black Christianity and white Christianity are NOT the same.

My pastor gave a sermon that went viral a few weeks ago. Newsweek published an article about it and now he's getting MAGA death threats. But one thing about him, he's NEVER going to stop speaking truth to power.

When i say that Black church Christianity is a completely different expression of Christianity

In colonial MA, there were very rich merchants NONE of whom led the town or city councils. The rich had no outsized power, had their prices regulated by the city or town as w everyone else's. Different world.

It is possible to take bad money by which to do good. In no way is she fascist by all accounts. She's just smarter than Trump about using him.

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

Just one correction - the man shot with a pepper bullet was a Presbyterian minister. Mainline Protestants as well as Catholic priests are out in force. They're the justice folks, all of them.

Bacon: "The president was demanding her indictment 2 weeks ago and I think it really muddies the water. Normally, the president says out of this discussion, they let the attorney general and the process work. When you have a president ordering & demanding indictments, it will be used by the defense"
