"This is a hostile and political action by retailers," Nevada Independent columnist David Colborne says of retailers' plan to display how much of an item's cost is derived from sales taxes. He adds it's not a surprise because "Retailers have partnered with an anti-tax propaganda arm."
"This is a hostile and political action by Amazon," White House press secretary Katherine Leavitt says of the e-commerce giant's plan to display how much of an item's cost is derived from Trump tariffs. She adds it's not a surprise because "Amazon has partnered with a Chinese propaganda arm."

Which costs less:
1. A good made entirely overseas that has a single 10+% tariff applied?
2. A good made out of components that are shipped in and out of America, with each component shipment increasing the overall cost by 10+%?
We're about to nuke American manufacturing from orbit.

Great example from Mr. Beast of how insane it was for Trump to hit raw food with tariffs
Ingredients that grow abroad are getting more expensive—a Feastables bar has sugar (hit by a 10% tariff), chocolate (6-15%), cocoa butter (21%), & vanilla (41%)—and those tariffs also hit coffee, fish, etc

I mean this politely but firmly:
If you think it's acceptable to surveil adult family members and there's not a damned good reason — dementia or severe health issues, for example — I do not think you are a good person and I will make it a point to treat you accordingly.

Surveillance companies have done a real number on society in terms of convincing folks that tracking someone equates with their actual safety.
I will track my daughter on Life360 when she goes to college in the fall — and it's nonnegotiable
My daughter is heading to college, and I plan to track her on Life360 for at least the first few months. But I may also track her for all four years.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

For context, Nevada's been struggling for over 18 months to replace a COBOL-based system used by tens of thousands of state employees with a more modern financial system *that already exists* and is used by other states.
Replacing SSA with a custom solution in 6 months is beyond madness.
