A very simple man. I grew up on an island that always had tariffs on goods as all goods must enter through US flag ships; political prosecution, and sold-out land and gov services to corporations. #PuertoRico 💙👍 #woke #liberal #noMaga #noCrypto

While the Jones Act is not a tariff act, its practical effects are similar to a tariff for domestic goods, Instead of imposing a tax on imports directly, it requires that all goods be shipped between U.S. ports/ships, limiting competition, and passing the increased costs to consumers.

When he claimed to have solved the congestion problem in NY, Trump said 'Long live the King'. This fake NY Times cover was posted on the White House website. Yes..he did declare himself a King.

They should have written a rule against electing felons, but they never imagined Americans could be that foolish. That’s the point—the founders expected reason, yet here we are, paying for their one blind spot.

So Donald Trump will let convicted felons like George Santos and violent January 6th rioters walk free but won’t release a single page of the Epstein files. All while Americans are struggling to afford health care, groceries and rent.

Trump orders disgraced former congressman George Santos released from prison

Santos had been sentenced to more than seven years in prison after pleading guilty to federal charges of aggravated identity theft and wire fraud

If you're taking to the streets to protest today, know your rights.

"KNOW YOUR PROTEST RIGHTS
You don’t need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don’t need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you’re not obstructing traffic or access to buildings.
When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police.
If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries.
If you get stopped by the police, ask if you’re free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away.
If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don’t sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present.
If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you’ll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney — no matter your citizenship or immigration status."

Higher equivalent tariff estimates: Economic analyses have attempted to quantify the burden. For example, a 2024 study by the Cato Institute estimated that the Jones Act's costs are equivalent to a 30.6% tariff on goods shipped from the U.S. mainland to Puerto Rico.

Odd one out, but wouldn't raising wages all across the nation would also increase tax revenue to help reduce our nations debt.
Tackle both issues at the same time!
"But prices will go up."
Do you mean like in the last 16 years without increases to our wages?

While Americans struggle with rising prices and chaos from Trump’s tariffs, he’s making healthcare unaffordable

and sending $40 BILLION to bail out Argentina’s economy instead of helping American farmers crushed by his own policies.

⚠️Farmers are self employed and rely on the ACA.

Obama and his administration would like a word.
He literally saved all of them when pre-existing conditions were no longer allowed to prevent them from buying health insurance, private or employer sponsored.
But since they got treated, they forgot.
