Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

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

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.
Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.
Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

The US makes the most money of any country from tourism by far ($175B). This doesn't even reflect the travel warnings being issued by many countries. One more way this administration is damaging our country.

I am more than happy to work in coalition with the left to oppose Trump. The thing about coalitions, though, is that they have to be formed around core principles. And the left's core principle is that you can't disagree with the left on anything, which makes it an impossible coalition partner.
Escalating a fight between the left and liberals is doing a disservice to the moment

So the Dems are aligned in using the Hegspeth allegations to oppose him. Dumb.
The man is not qualified for the job. That is all that matters. He has never managed more than 100 people. He won't be the actual one running DOD because he has no clue how.
And this is what the Dems focus on ?
