Billionaires like Trump and Musk don’t have a clue what it means for working families when it becomes too expensive to buy your kid a birthday present.

While visiting Meteor Crater, I couldn’t resist the occasion — 20 miles away as the Eagle flies — to take it easy, and to be a-standin’ on the corner in Winslow, Arizona.

Trump's tariffs are so bad they are even hitting his rallies 😂

Trump spent the entire campaign saying that tariffs are the “most beautiful” thing ever.

Why doesn’t he want Amazon to show them off?
REPORTER: Amazon will soon display a number next to the price of each product that shows how much the Trump tariffs are adding. Isn't that a perfect demonstration that it's the American consumer who is paying for these policies?

LEAVITT: This is a hostile and political act by Amazon.

The US health care system is broken & wildly expensive.

The function of a health care system is not to provide billions in profits for insurance & drug companies. It is to provide quality care as a human right.

The time is NOW to pass Medicare for All.

We spend almost twice as much per capita on healthcare as any other country on Earth. It’s time to change that
