I don't know who needs to hear this, but EVERY FUCKING RETAILER needs to show the tariffs next to the price -- not just Amazon.
Walmart, Target, ALL OF THEM. It's a fucking tax, why shouldn't we see it?
I want to know exactly how much trump's tariffs are jacking my prices up. DON'T YOU?

She doesn’t seem very good at purse security, just sayin
Last week, DHS and Secretary Noem's staff and spokespeople suggested that because Mr. Abrego Garcia had $1,100 in cash on him when arrested outside Home Depot seeking day labor, that was strong evidence that he was a member of MS-13.
I guess that raises a similar question about her $3,000.

Republicans are trying to steal an election in North Carolina. They have been laying the groundwork for five months, and unless the federal courts intervene, they just might succeed. If they do, it could usher in a new era of election subversion in future contests across the country.

Trump’s changes to Social Security will slash 7,000 jobs, shut down offices, and make folks jump through hoops to get what they’ve already earned. Seniors, disabled people, and rural communities—y’all are the target. This is not efficiency, it’s straight-up cruelty.

Fear and compliance.
That’s the point.
“Mistaken” abductions serve their purposes.
“Oops. You might be taken too.”
They’re a threat.

There's going to be a tendency to cover disappearances like this as "what a huge mistake/so incompetent," but this is not a mistake: The entire point is to indiscriminately catch up law abiding people in these dragnets to sow fear and compliance.
