Donald Trump repeatedly told us that his tariffs would not increase prices for consumers.
So why on Earth is he lowering his tariffs on various foods?
Duh, because his tariffs raised prices.
Just another day with Don the Con.

Trump goes on defense over tariffs as prices on everyday items keep rising
The rollback of import taxes on coffee, bananas and many other foods is the latest sign that the administration could be forced to shift course.

We’ve got the new Sheriff-elect on @allinwithchris.bsky.social tonight!
Trump flipped Bucks County, a swing county in Pennsylvania, last year.
The GOP sheriff enthusiastically followed his lead, partnering with ICE to help Trump’s deportations.
Dems flipped the office by 11% last week, ousting the sheriff after promising to end the ICE contact.

This coward needs to be gone and every single one who agrees with him
MSNBC reported Schumer's office felt that the longer that shutdown went on, the more likely it was that people would start to blame the Dems.
My kingdom for Democrats that don't govern out of fear. I've said it before and I'll say it again: The American people are far braver than their reps.

That's where our biggest problem lies. The Democrats have largely refused to believe that a fascist regime—who is OPENLY ignoring the law—is currently in control of the ENTIRE federal government. They have convinced themselves that it's still just 'politics as usual,' when it's very clearly NOT.

There is no Dem who thinks that Schumer voting No washes his hands of it. He is the captain of the ship and owns the process and end result. If he can’t run the team, then someone else needs to. Hopefully the other Dem senators understand the mood of the voters. If not, you will.
