I don't think most Americans realize how hard tariffs are about to hit them. The combination of 1) escalating tariffs, 2) companies slowly passing the cost to consumers, and 3) the repeal of the de minimis exemption in the Big Beautiful Bill, a lot stuff will be more expensive in 2027.

Your parents and grandparents exercised persistence when things didn’t work out, called until someone picked up the phone, and kept applying until they got accepted. Now? It’s “let them,” “forget them,” “move on.” No wonder America is a wreck.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges.
This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.
They run them bc people react to them the most.
If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.
It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

Have a blessed and Happy Thanksgiving week, remembering above all else that this short life we live called the present is a gift. There's no reason to spend our days divided, angry, bitter, argumentative and isolated when we should be working together to leave this world a better place.

There is zero benefit to the Russians by using a nuclear weapon. None. This is why they have never used a nuclear weapon.
These are all empty threats and have been for over 1000+ days now.
If you believe the Russians now, then you either have not been paying attention or you are a fool.
