One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ?
They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses.
That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue.
The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

Check this out — American stocks were on par with global stocks up until late January — and have now dropped terribly since then
Gosh I wonder what happened in late January?

If I could speak to billionaires quivering in fear, I would ask: Is the risk of losing some money worth sacrificing your dignity?
If I could speak to Republican politicians, I would ask: Is the risk of losing an election worth being remembered as a coward?

Musk claims Social Security is a "gigantic magnet to attract illegal immigrants."
In fact, immigrants here illegally do not collect Social Security. But they pay $25.7 billion a year into it, a recent study found, so these undocumented workers are actually subsidizing Americans.

Trump’s challenge to Mahmoud Khalil’s free speech rights and the revocation of his green card sets a dangerous precedent for our country.
These actions are fundamentally un-American, and we must push back.

The Trump Administration kidnapped an activist in the middle of the night. Mahmoud Khalil's detention is a clear violation of the First Amendment. This is the behavior of an authoritarian regime, not a democracy. He must be released immediately.

Working class Americans live 6 years shorter lives than the wealthy. Doctors believe economic stress is a major factor in that disparity.
I asked Americans to describe how stress impacts their lives & well-being. The responses were heartbreaking.
