Jessica: Before this deal, we essentially were paying 1% on imports with the EU. 15% is more than 1%. I wish Gasparino was sitting here to explain to Jesse how tariffs work because it is a tax on the consumer.

94% of teachers have had to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. An estimated 1 in 6 have second jobs during the school year to make ends meet.

The average Wall Street employee got a record $244,700 bonus last year.

Something has gone terribly wrong.

It's not a "funding freeze" or "hold." It's an unlawful seizure of federal funds and it's categorically unconstitutional.

Fox News’ depiction of the LA protests is a grim fantasy — one that encourages Trump to realize his vision of U.S. troops crushing left-wing dissent.

A reminder that you could levy a 50% tax on the 50 wealthiest people in the world, redistribute the resulting revenue to functionally eliminate global poverty, and most of those 50 people would *still* be the wealthiest in the world.

Poverty and externalised costs are a policy choice.

Worst two-day stock market crashes in the U.S. by percentage loss:

1. 1929 (the Great Depression)

2. 1987 (Black Monday)

3. 2008 (the Great Recession)

4. YESTERDAY AND TODAY

And while this happened, the man responsible for it was golfing and dining with enemies of America.

The bloodbaths at IMLS (Institute of Museum and Library Services) and NEH (National Endowment for the Humanities) show that Musk's DOGE has NOTHING TO DO WITH SAVING $.

IMLS budget: $295M

NEH budget: $211M

These are tiny drops in the federal spending bucket.

This is about ideological control.
