regardless of what happens to the tariffs, they're doomed from the start because the average conservative holds all three of these positions at once:

— virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing
— against increasing the minimum wage
— buys foreign imports because they're cheap

Ironic considering one of the chief reasons he's not currently Speaker of the House is because of Andrew Cuomo
Hakeem Jeffries has reportedly told allies that if Zohran Mamdani wins, he can't become Speaker of the House.

Leaders like Jeffries see this fight as existential for their control of the party:

Mike Kennedy (R-UT) talking about how his children benefited from Medicaid and he himself grew up on SNAP and is now explaining why fewer people should have access to these benefits that helped him so much.

We don’t need a liberal Joe Rogan, we need 90M lazy mother fuckers to get off their apathetic asses and fucking vote. We need those whose rights we’re fighting for every day to give a fuck about their own. I am sick and tired of sticking my neck out for communities that don’t want to fight…
After giving it 15 seconds of careful thought, and as a devout believer in forced authenticity, I formally accept what I assume is a multimillion-dollar offer and proudly take on the title of “the left’s Joe Rogan.”

I don't think people realize that in important respects tariffs are now higher & more inflationary than what was announced on last Wednesday.

Since then we've gone from 54% to 125% on China, our 3rd largest trading partner. That outweighs delaying the increases on 70+ others.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are disrupting a breakthrough cancer treatment so they can fund tax cuts for billionaires.

Tell your friends.
NIH scientists have a cancer breakthrough. Layoffs are delaying it.
A big step forward in cancer therapy has been slowed by layoffs and new restrictions at the National Institutes of Health, where it was developed.
