Good day to remember that DOGE has already lost the US government at least half a trillion dollars this year alone. And likely more.

OMG. I was wondering that as the tariff numbers made no sense, but this is even dumber than I thought. I mean, this is "fail your econ 101 class and have to go meet with the professor" bad.
james surowiecki has discovered where the completely fabricated trump tariff rate has come from for each country
"...for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us."

We will not blindly follow illegal orders because Donald Trump wrote them down on a piece of paper.
Illinois follows the laws of the land – not the decrees of an aspiring king hell bent on disenfranchising millions of voters who deserve to have their voice heard.

But now claims: “Oops, we can’t bring him back.”

So much for free speech. Another thing off the list of American rights
Hi folks: Facebook appears to be taking down my posts. Please remember they are available for free here (no paywall), and can be received by email (also free-- just don't put in your credit card information). I guess if I'm being banned I'm doing something right?
The government ignored his protective legal status & deported Abrego Garcia. “Now they claim that the court is powerless to order any relief. If that’s true, the immigration laws are meaningless because the government can deport ANYONE & no court can do anything about it once it’s done.”

But sure, our food is going to be healthier without red40. Seems like an even trade
What RFK has done just this week to NOT support vaccines:
-fired FDA's top vaccine scientist
-buried CDC's measles forecast
-shut down agency that runs the NATIONAL VACCINE PROGRAM (OIDP)
-Hired anti-vaxxer to probe phony autism/vax links
-Made Texas kids sick with his vitamin A measles 'cure'

Lankford blatantly lies on CNN: "RFK Jr has been clear he supports vaccines ... the president has been very clear on his support of vaccines."

Welp, this is FAFO quality. But yeah, America first right?!
So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?
International tourism is worth $200 billion every year to the US economy.
