clear language laying out the administration's malfeasance regarding judicial packing. I doubt anyone of the majority party can offer as clear and reasoned a defense of the republican moves. Check out Sen Schiff as well.

China still wants to scrub this from history. They're not alone, repressive regimes always want to rewrite history, like how Jan 6 in the US was a patriotic day of love.

I can totally see everyone rushing to get a job repairing factory robots. I mean, yes, but also, the factory will have fewer total workers... because of the robots. How about for the folks that dont want factory jobs? He's not totally wrong, just tone deaf

1, Never give in to a bully. 2, isnt it "free market" for the retailer to explain where their pricing comes from? Does the Trump admin want government price controls?
Billionaires capitulated and now learn their largess and loyalty bought them nothing.
REPORTER: Amazon will soon display a number next to the price of each product that shows how much the Trump tariffs are adding. Isn't that a perfect demonstration that it's the American consumer who is paying for these policies?

LEAVITT: This is a hostile and political act by Amazon.
