The tariff policy changes every ten minutes. What a joke.
It’s nuclear grade incompetence that would be laughable except they’re ruining people’s lives for sport. Just shameful.

These facts mean the math won't be mathing.
There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.
Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

Walz: "My beef on this is that this guy is out there crying about his portfolio, and my mom's Social Security check this month is late. That he's attacking the portfolios of working Minnesotans and working Americans who have paid into these programs that he calls a Ponzi scheme."

"Could" is the operative word here.
Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.
Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.
