Since Antifa isn’t really an “organization”, this is just carte blanche to arbitrarily declare people terrorists.
BREAKING: Trump says he is designating “Antifa” as a “major terrorist organization.”
Such a step being taken this way would be concerning enough, given what it actually is, but, given that Trump sees “Antifa” hiding in every corner of opposition, this could be an extremely alarming escalation.

A federal judge has ordered the Trump White House to let Associated Press journalists return to the Oval Office and other spaces to cover news events, ruling it was unlawful to block the news service in a dispute over its choice of words.
Judge orders White House to allow AP access to news events
U.S. Judge Trevor N. McFadden rules the White House cannot deny the Associated Press access to news events because the wire service continues to use "Gulf of Mexico" rather than "Gulf of America".

The US buys approximately $3.5 billion in goods from Russia annually.
The trade deficit in the most recent year was $2.5 billion.
Using the same formula as other countries, Russia should have been hit with about a 17% tariff.
Oddly, Russia was spared.
I wonder why.

Saw a clip from Fox News that was like, oh we all came together during wartime and this (this being the tariff bullshit) is like that. Which is insane. The only “wartime” is that Trump and Musk set our government on fire. We aren’t sacrificing for any greater good. Just for deranged billionaires.

"...for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us."
