I had literally just signed the paperwork on my dolls/tiny screws factory in the US. 😩
China and the United States have agreed to lower tariffs on goods from each other’s countries for 90 days, offering a temporary reprieve in a trade war that threatens to cause a global recession and deepen a widening rift between the world’s two largest economies.
U.S., China agree to lower most tariffs for 90 days amid trade talks
Both sides are hailing the temporary reprieve, which will cut U.S. duties on Chinese goods to 30 percent, but analysts say underlying issues remain.

These fired federal workers were stewards of tax payer dollars. That’s why firing 121,000 of them has caused government spending to go UP. Federal employees save more money than they cost. For example, the VA paid me $120K a year and I saved them $60M a year.
Trump’s federal layoffs in just 100 days — and that doesn’t even count the folks pushed out quietly with admin leave, early retirement, or “voluntary” buyouts.

It takes a #specialkindofstupid to go in guns-ablazin’ like this! Good thing he doesn’t have any real responsibility.

I love the support indie bookstores get. They deserve it. But it saddens me that indie authors don’t get the same support. Indie bookstores largely won’t stock indie books and we’re the most hard hit by the online boycott. It would be nice if indie book stores could return the support we give them.

Just finished “Feel the Bern” (a cozy mystery by Andrew Shaffer). I accessed it on audio through Hoopla—if you need a little chuckle to ease your political woes, you really can’t go wrong with this one! The narration was especially good and there was plenty of Bernie-infused 🤣. Up next…B.O. & J.B.

Sometimes you just need to get back to basics. I went to our local Maker Space with my mom and the 12-YO and met this fascinating young man who collects trash from local rivers and forests and then turns it into art.

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act.
Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes?
Staffer: a DL and birth certificate.
Me: The documents don’t match
Staffer: Then a marriage certificate.
Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too?
Staffer: No
Me: See the problem?

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration.
So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives.
So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory
