Incredible. The Trump administration calculated "tariff rates" by taking the US trade deficit with the respective country and dividing it by the country's exports to the US. And then the tariff rate of the US is often just set by cutting that made-up "tariff rate" in half.

is right. You can humiliate and fire us. But we will not stay down. Because we truly believe in our mission. We fight for people. We fight for kids. For the right to survive and the hope to thrive.

Goodnight friends. Get some rest.

FLAG: Top Trump officials including JD Vance, Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, and Tulsi Gabbard planned military strikes on Yemen's Houthis in a Signal messaging group — a group to which they accidentally added The Atlantic editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg.

The space was such a wreck it was no longer even classified as a residence. But it was in an Italian palazzo and had traces of past grandeur. So two architects bought the space and embarked on a renovation that included finding a hidden staircase. My latest 👇

Trump’s Policies Nobody Wants

🔘Cut VA workers & services—hurts veterans
🔘Close Dept of Education—chaos for millions of kids
🔘Guts DEI programs—because equality is too much
🔘on again off again tariffs—chaos for business
🔘Hides record park visits—so no one notices the cuts

Unpopular? Try disastrous.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.

What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

The grand plan is a Trump-Putin alliance. And guess who will have the upper hand?
Hegseth has ordered the Pentagon to STOP offensive cyber operations against Russia. This is insane. Russia is actively targeting the U.S., and the ability to conduct offensive operations (which was authorized by Trump in 2018!*) was at least one deterrent.

The defense secretary’s instructions, which were given before President Trump’s blowup with the Ukrainian president, are apparently part of an effort to draw Russia into talks on the war.
