So many small businesses are going to shut down as a result of the ignorance and incompetence of this administration. We are headed for a deep depression.
COLLINS: China has this 34% tariff. There were already 20% tariffs on China. So is that 34% on top of that, meaning it's a 54% tariff on China?

Wow. Just wow. How Trump set the tariff rates. This is blithering, staggering, mind-boggling, jaw-cracking, gums-bleeding stupidity.

The ACLU gets *zero* funding from the government.
A bit disconcerting that the fellow tasked with reducing government funding doesn't know that.

South Asian MAGAs like Kash Patel and Vivek Ramaswamy are conspiracy theorists and Trump sycophants who bring shame to the community. They don't represent the values of the vast majority of South Asian Americans.
South Asian Americans are often stereotyped as brainy academic high achievers. But Trump's new pick for Director of the FBI has worked to change that image.

Actually think this is very likely
A rich and karmically gratifying outcome of this circus would be if Trump took Elon-worship as such a grave narcissistic injury that he dumped Elon—and Elon, in turn, started using X as a platform to savage Trump. Unlikely, but not out of the question, given Elon has near-identical pathologies.

Companies will start to raise prices on goods before Jan 20 now that tariff policy is confirmed. Trump will find a way to blame Biden for the sudden rise in prices. MAGA will fall for his lies again.

The only thing that surprised me about this pick was Trump choosing Dr Oz when Dr Phil was available. Maybe Dr Phil gets to be FDA commissioner?
Donald Trump has picked Dr. Oz to be his Administrator for the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

Oh.
The cost of college tuition has dropped under President Biden after it spiked during Donald Trump's presidency.
Thanks, Biden! 👏
