Donald Trump spent months trying to tell Americans his tariffs weren't raising costs and that rising prices aren’t a problem.
Now, his plan to bring down costs is to roll back just a few of the tariffs that he imposed in the first place.
It’s time to repeal ALL of Trump’s reckless tariffs.

I think Americans are realizing that democracy is a participation sport, and the the government is ours if we want it to be. I feel like we got complacent and hoped some other third party would do the work for us. Seems like we have to learn that lesson every generation.

Bovino’s rant fits the authoritarian indicators in our assessment: empowered security forces acting with impunity, militarized immigration raids, executive overreach through federalized enforcement, and loyalty-driven ops unmoored from oversight. His tone isn’t an outlier but a symptom.
