According to the Yale Budget Lab, the average effective tariff rate in this economy right now is 18.2%
Let me put that another way.

A thing I really need people to keep in mind: 15% tariffs are high, historically speaking. 10% tariffs are high.
The average effective tariff rate before this term was just over 2%. Anything double-digits is high!

Do you know how insane and infuriating it is to live in a country where one party claims, with media and public support, the mantle of being the ‘tough on crime’ party while its leader openly calls for convicted criminals to be released from prison ‘or else’?

New paper led by PhD student Will Cox makes 2 discoveries: 1) understory plants predict early onset of abrupt permafrost thaw. 2) early stages of abrupt thaw are associated with high methane release, not accounted for in previous models or frameworks. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Major media seem flummoxed about what to do when Trump shares a fake video of Obama getting arrested. Maybe they think the options are A) take the bait, or B) ignore it. But there's a 3rd option: Gather all the crazy examples and write big, loud stories about how the president is mentally unhinged.

This is a clear, true, & important distinction that many people refuse to make.
The same is true of "fancy city dwellers condescending to hard workin' ruralites."
The same is true of "wokesters forcing you to use pronouns."
These are RW bogie men. RW hysteria exceeds actual examples 1000/1.

Men are not constantly being told “you’re bad,” they are constantly being told “LEFT WING SJWS THINK YOU’RE BAD” by conservative propaganda. There’s a huge difference.
I have two sons, and I don't think I've ever seen messaging going "Don't be a boy" or "YOU'RE BAD."
Sure looks like that's in "I heard someone say that they heard..." territory, rather than actual direct experience.
Also worth noting, the main message from manosphere influencers is "YOU'RE BAD."

Donald Trump *personally* caused the crisis in confidence in US bonds, the approx 10% slide in the S&P 500 in the last month, and the unfolding collapse of international tourism to the United States. Leaving aside everything he did before, he should be the biggest pariah ever to hold the office.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.
