Legislation creates a Federal Tax Escrow Account in the state treasury. Instead of employers forwarding collected federal taxes to Washington, they send them to the state. The state holds the money in escrow. A legislative panel reviews federal spending for constitutional compliance.

Brett Meiselas: The tone is set from the top. And now, we have a president of the United States infecting the population.
There has never been a more divisive, more corrupt individual in the presidency...trickle-down economics may not work, but trickle-down assholery? That’s absolutely a thing.

The most common question I get on here is: If tariffs are so bad, why do other countries use them?
The answer: They basically don't.
Most of our trading partners have almost no tariffs, and the few they have are in politically powerful sectors.

On the same day Donald Trump is using his time & our federal property to do ads for expensive cars made by his billionaire sidekick, he's stopping low-income students and families from being fed.
