Immigrants in the country illegally paid nearly $100 billion in taxes in 2022, according to a report by the Institute on Taxation and Economic policy. But that source of government revenue may soon taper off.

Trump Wants to Use the IRS to Track Down Immigrants. They May Stop Paying Taxes.
Undocumented immigrants contribute billions to Social Security and other programs. That money might fall off because of Trump’s crackdown.

"What has Trump done since assuming office? Has he even pretended to move a single piece of legislation? No. He has focused on radically expanding executive power." It isn't about legislative agendas anymore.

Trump surrenders on autos after less than 2 days after the market tanked and he heard from auto CEOs and Republicans in Congress. He’s a feckless dipshit.

How many times is Trump going to announce a tariff, tank that industry’s stocks, then change his mind the next day?
Just wondering how bad US credibility on trade agreements is going to be destroyed along with consumer confidence while Trump plays his games.

I sure would like to know who has been buying the dips right before Trump announces he has changed his mind and reverses a tariff. Seems like valuable information in the markets to know when he announces a tariff and when he’s going to rescind it.
