Tariffs are taxes paid by consumers and businesses.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Trump says we're taking in "trillions of dollars" from tariffs. Is that true?
BESSENT: Uh. Over the course of the next few years, we could take in trillions of dollars
S: Are you worried though that the president's focus on revenue is going to hurt you at SCOTUS?
B: Not at all

I've been wondering why Dominion Voting Systems suddenly reached settlements with Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and One America News.
Turns out, it's been purchased by a Republican-owned election tech firm that insisted on it, per Axios.

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.
