We now have a concentration camp in Florida.

Stop pretending any of this is normal.

If you claim to be a good person and you're not outwardly opposing this regime, you're not a good person.

Be human.

The fact that an Amazon associate is giving me the 3rd degree bc I’m asking to return 9.99 garden netting 2 days after the 30 day window as a Prime member makes irrationally angry 😡 or maybe it’s totally rational in the scheme of things. 😮‍💨 I mean it’s not a rocket.🚀

So much fun! Looks like the best outing with a group of friends.

DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas?

LUTNICK: Generally 10%

DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8%

LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff

DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America
