Tariffs were NEVER going to “bring manufacturing back to the US.” There are many reasons, including:

•Even with tariffs, US labor is prohibitively expensive
•America’s supply chain isn’t ready
•Most Americans don’t want to do manufacturing jobs
•Not enough unemployed workers to fill new factories

But they can't come without reliable visas.

Elon—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. He could end world hunger single-handedly and still be the richest man alive. But he won’t.

Instead, he spent 40 million on Super Bowl ads attacking USAID!

Stand with USAID: share this counter-ad…

CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) has provided real-time data and analysis about disease outbreaks and emerging health threats without a break every week since 1960.

Until today.
