Any company that can replace a tariffed product with an American made is going to flourish. Can’t get tomatoes or avocados, twinkies and Ho-Hos are made in US bakeries and are the perfect replacement !!! Pay no attention to the price increase. They never go bad !
This deserves some good coverage: tariffs giving “cover” for other price hikes that are unrelated to trade.
The gas station I pass on my way to work has raised the price of breakfast sandwiches by like $1.50 in the last month. It's affecting things that aren't even imported

HORRIFIC.

Every single person sent without due process needs to be accounted for and brought back so they can have the opportunity to present their case.

*Anything* to the contrary is BARBARIC.

RFK Jr wants us to believe that chronic illness is a moral failing. That people should “try harder” to be healthy.

He doesn’t want us to realize that poverty, food insecurity, lack of universal healthcare, poor public health and other government failures cause more disease than lifestyle ever will.

The more I read anything RFK Jr says about autism the more I am filled with rage.

"This is an epidemic [...] dwarfs the COVID epidemic [...] because COVID killed old people. Autism affects children [...] at the beginning of their lives, the beginning of their productivity"

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative.

A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.
