Incredible. The Trump administration calculated "tariff rates" by taking the US trade deficit with the respective country and dividing it by the country's exports to the US. And then the tariff rate of the US is often just set by cutting that made-up "tariff rate" in half.

Whats happening to trans people in the US is unacceptable. Im raising a trans child who now would rather suffer through being misgendered than disclose their identity to their new BB coach. Trans people are entitled to exist with dignity and respect. Not accepting anything less.
