Congratulations, America. You have paid an extra $150 billion for goods so far this year on imported goods. That doesn't account for the increased prices of domestic goods because they raise prices to match imports & pad profits. You're getting poorer by the month

July tariff revenues break monthly record, with $150B collected so far in 2025
The U.S. collected nearly $28 billion in customs duties in July, the highest monthly total so far this year.

The Commerce Secretary is promoting a company’s stock on live TV, and not just any company’s - the company owned by a ‘special government employee’ and the president’s biggest donor.
The corruption is the point.

On Jesse Watters’ show, Howard Lutnick, the U.S. Secretary of Commerce, tells viewers they should buy Tesla stock.
“I think if you want to learn something on this show tonight, buy Tesla. It’s unbelievable that this guy’s stock is this cheap. It’ll never be this cheap again.”

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.
EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Please tell me someone has the articles of impeachment warming up. The capitol was in fact closed to the public when a mob broke in. My hope that day was for the building to be surrounded and all those inside illegally be detained and prosecuted. ANY member of Congress should be outraged.

What country does Trump live in? His view of our nation is extremely dark. It’s also apparent he doesn’t trust anyone at all. What a way to live your life. God help us all, worldwide.

The website I frequently buy my KN95 Powecom masks from, Bonafide Masks, is having a Black Friday sale with the coupon code BFM35. It's worth picking up extra masks. The headstrap models also come in several colors and don't cause my glasses to fog after I adjust the noseband for a better fit.
