And now we've crossed the red line 😡
Starting as early as January, U.S. tariff rates on imported pasta from 13 major Italian companies could soar to as high as 107% under a preliminary U.S. Commerce Department decision.
Italian pasta exports to the U.S. could be 'virtually wiped out' by proposed 107% tariffs
The U.S. has hit 13 Italian pasta exporters with an anti-dumping tariff of 92%, which would be added to the Trump administration's 15% blanket E.U. levies.

@msnbc.com I'm just hearing that Matthew Dowd was fired for a misconstrued Charlie Kirk comment! I expected better from you! I vouch for this network & tell everyone that you're different from the others. Shame on you for not standing up against this. I expected better from you.

@nbcnews.com so far this hasn't been the case but, don't you dare give in to Trump with Fallon, Meyers, or SNL! How is this happening?! I have been an NBC fan all my life & an MSNBC over the last few years. I expect more of you as a network than what these other networks are doing. Do Not Cave!

@stephruhle.bsky.social no, I don't believe that Republicans, like James Comer, are really joining w/ Democrats to take Trump down. Maybe some are but not Repubs like Comer. I think, with the Deputy AG's visit w/ Maxwell today, that they're going to set it up so that she clears Trump's name in

I keep hearing about the Democrats' poll numbers post '24 election. Our poll numbers & being asked who our leader is. Out of curiosity, what were the Republican poll numbers on Jan 20th, 2021? Or Jan 2009? Who was the GOP leader from 2009-2016? Who was GOP leader in 2021? Who wrote these questions?
