As Trump’s tariff regime becomes clear, Americans may start to foot the bill
Although inflation data looks “good” today, I suspect it reflects retailers using up their stockpiles of goods purchased in March. And then if they are selling post April goods they’re eating the import tax. Remember after last night’s announcement of an tariff agreement, there is still a 55% tax

The spin has already started as if our entire city is in chaos. I went from Burbank all the way over to Koreatown on surface streets tonight and jackshit was happening. The CNN coverage makes it look like world war 3 and that’s what Trump wants so he and his fucking goons can come shoot Angelenos.

Today's "agreement" between the trump and China is merely an agreement to make a future agreement. The only thing that has changed is that the house is going to burn in 90 days.

Cal-Maine, the biggest egg producer, has been accused of using bird flu as cover to jack up prices and triple its profits from a year ago.
It also received $22M in federal aid.
While you're getting gouged at the grocery store, your tax dollars are subsidizing corporate greed.

So to sum up the Wisconsin arrest issue:
ICE didn't have a juridical warrant. They only had an administrative warrant.
The DOJ has not convened a grand jury to indict the judge. They only got a criminal complaint before a magistrate judge.
This is ridiculous.

Just as predicted, these tariffs are just a ploy to get the Fed to lower rates, which obviously helps his business and rich friends. All of these job losses and future job losses are in service to this. www.cnbc.com/2025/04/04/t...
President Donald Trump says Fed Chair Powell should cut interest rates and 'stop playing politics'
Trump said in a social media post this would be the "perfect" time for the central bank to cut rates, but inflationary impact of tariffs could be an issue.
