My true tariff story - I'm installing a fence for my 2 dogs. I priced out the rolls of fencing last week - 1 roll of 5', 50ft fencing, $55.95 at Home Depot, $55.98 at Amazon. I went to the Home Depot website yesterday, it's now $87.29 and Amazon is $102.98.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: Was just passed this from a fellow service academy grad. A Coast Guard Academy graduate posted this. They are reporting that ICE entered base housing and took a USCG spouse. I can’t confirm this but I’m calling for answers from the Coast Guard and Congress. This is unacceptable.

So, according to SCOTUS, the Trump admin can ship a person to a foreign gulag w/o due process of any kind, just so long as they have “access to due process” while detained in said foreign gulag, which of course they won’t.
And MAGA actually thinks this shit will stop with people they don’t like?

Russia presents its demands as concessions and then presses more demands and calls them guarantees of the first set. Ukraine understands this dynamic all too well. If Trump is Ru asset or an idiot, at least the free Western media can learn to cover things with their real names.

I was told I was overreacting. Now they’re about to fire 83,000 people from the VA. A third of whom are veterans themselves.
If you're a Veteran and you get your healthcare from the VA, please make appointments with your PCP and specialists before January 20th, and make sure to update all your vaccines and order your meds.
