"It's not just me, it's many small businesses that I've talked to. These tariffs are hitting our bottom line. It's not affecting the country that's exporting to us. It's us that's paying those fees."

I love them both! How will we ever decide??? 😭

(Not that I am in the district, so I won't actually vote for either of them, but still)

Tariffs Are Costing $1.8K per Family #ABlueView🧵1/3

budgetlab.yale.edu/r... calculates tariffs cost the average household $1,800 in 2025 & a big share of that comes from domestic manufacturers raising prices instead of selling more at their existing, lower prices.

This is what happens when you put tariffs on things you can't produce. (Or just put arbitrary tariffs on everything) 🤦‍♂️
Trump's Affordable Economy?

On the Eve of Destruction, 1/19/2025, I baselined things I commonly buy at my local Kroger in SE Michigan.
I check prices monthly. Here's November's tally for the worst increases. There are many smaller ones. Watch for shrinkflation! We're paying more for less every day.

WATCH — @milestaylor.bsky.social : “The average 🇺🇸 family saved $1,600 a year from tax cuts, but spent $4,000 a year on Trump’s price increases — now he's realizing what conservative economists have known for centuries: Tariffs are taxes. And he's having to walk it back.”

NEWS: President Trump has issued a *second* pardon for Jan. 6 defendant Dan Wilson.

Wilson, a militia member, remained in prison on a firearms conviction unrelated to the Capitol attack. But Trump's new pardon explicitly covers the gun charges. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

“$170 BILLION for ICE. $40 BILLION for Argentina. $1 BILLION for Trump’s Qatari jet. $230 MILLION for Trump’s DOJ “compensation”. $200 MILLION for Noem’s jets… But nothing for health care?

This isn’t a question about what 🇺🇸 can or can’t afford — it’s about priorities.”

Trump pardoned another MAGA child-sex predator 3 days ago.

Trump had already pardoned Andrew Taake for attacking a police officer with bear spray and a whip on Jan 6.

Now Trump has pardoned him again, so he avoids prison for child sex offenses.

Interesting how ICE flights weren't impacted by the shutdown. Just commercial flights. Yet we had to end the shutdown for the airlines?

Sure, Jan.

A reminder that in 2022, President Biden signed the “Eliminating Limits to Justice for Child Sex Abuse Victims Act,” eliminating the statute of limitations to file civil action for federal sex offenses. Seems relevant.

The distinction between 5 and 15 is disgusting, but yeah... We should also be focusing on the fact that this person told her from the start years and years ago that he was into 15-year-old girls.

So she knew but didn't say anything. Another one of these moments where'd I'd laugh if I wasn't crying.
First of all, a 15-year-old is not "barely legal." The age of consent in Florida is 18. So sexual behavior with a 15-year-old is rape.

Megyn Kelly is VILE trash for saying otherwise.

And Megyn Kelly is confessing to having insider information about what Jeffrey Epstein was up to but stayed silent.
