Sellers in other countries struggle to maintain U.S. customers as holiday shopping season starts. Trump’s tariffs will deprive Americans of these goods unless you’re willing to pay a premium.

Sellers in other countries struggle to maintain US customers as holiday shopping season starts
Small businesses are struggling to adapt since the U.S. ended the "de minimis" exemption on Aug. 29, which allowed imports under $800 to be tariff-free.

Trumpery.
Yes. It’s a real word. It means “to deceive.”
The Oxford English Dictionary defines "trumpery" as something worthless, trivial, or of little value, essentially trash or rubbish.

Absolutely right. And let’s be honest about the timing: every time accountability starts closing in on Trump: Epstein files, witnesses, reporting…suddenly there’s a brand-new “crisis” he manufactures to dominate the headlines. People’s lives aren’t a distraction tool.
We’re about to invade Venezuela because trump wants their oil. No other reason. The airspace has been cleared. Embassies are being evacuated. Flights are being canceled.
He’s going to kill people for oil.

Exactly. Trump’s so-called ‘peace plan’ has never been about peace it’s been Moscow’s wishlist. Manafort, Kilimnik, backchannels, polling data, the whole rotten pipeline. It’s the same script they’re running now.
A reminder that Trump's "peace plan" for Ukraine came from Russia going back to 2016. From the Mueller Report:

Jesus Christ. This is monstrous. Absolutely sickening. The journalists in that room should walk out en masse.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Senate Democrats about to roll over. Goddamnit.
This is pathetic - to give in over "a promised vote" - but this is what they were always going to do.
"A handful of Democrats will supply some eight votes for a new short-term CR in exchange for a promised vote on the ACA tax credits."
They are gonna trust the GOP.🤡
