Any $ from tariffs & doge cuts to government depts programs & staff gets sucked right into the void opened up by tax cuts to billionaires & multinationals.
The deficit will only grow & the dollar will keep dropping.

JPM DESK: “.. the US budget deficit has not shrunk despite the tariff revenue.

“.. if tariffs are not being used to pay down debt or in some cases as a bailout (e.g., soybean farmers ..) at what point does the bond market react negatively?”

She’s saying rational things now because she was not accepted into the close proximity to Trump clan.

When she still had hope for that she screamed “Liar” at Biden during his state of the union address when he said that the Republicans wanted to cut Medicare.

Stephen froze like a deer in the headlights and pretended to have connection issues because he unintentionally gave away the game plan.

“Plenary authority is complete, absolute power over a specific area or issue, with no significant limitations."

Show people this clip. This is an insane slip up.

This piece poses as a collective statement from former US surgeon generals.

Thanks to Kennedy, we are facing the biggest barrage of misinformation in decades, that will cost us.

He is entitled to his views, but he is not entitled to put our collective health at risk.

Many have asked why Trump’s actions were blocked and the answer lies in a core American principle: the military is not to be used to police civilians. This safeguard, rooted in the balance between state and federal power, exists to protect civil liberties and prevent government overreach on US soil.

Parks Canada's in charge of archaeology, but Harper destroyed their archaeology dept. He also had decades of data erased. Parks Canada is still rebuilding its archaeology dept., since the only part left was subaquatic. Land sites have thus been left without care.
