Schiff: "You begin to wonder -- do they believe they have the authority by putting some groups on a list, even domestic groups, to use lethal force against them, with no trial, no due process, no nothing? The reality is we can't rule that out."

Where is the tariff $$$ going?
Anyone?

Angry @angrystaffer.bsky.social · 8h

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

Argentina got 20 billion
Farmers $0
It’s all about priorities, for Trump.
Seems like tariff “profits” aka us consumer rip off, is for Trump to spend as he sees fit.
Congress has no say in it at all.

If Dems can flip a Mississippi Senate seat to blue, the show's over. If you have a few extra dollars, you might want to support Scott Colom.
