FAFO Arizona edition:
After Trump announced 25% tariffs across the board on Mexican imports, Mexico suggests they would impose their own tariffs. This would be devastating for Arizona. Mexico is the top market for exports of Arizona-made products with nearly $8.7Billion. & $10.8 Billion in imports

You don't just start a trade war with our biggest trading partners promising to go "back to normal" if they comply with vague demands.

Supply chains are reworked. Old suppliers fired. Jobs are lost. Prices rise. Retaliatory tariffs are implemented.

This is a child's approach to trade relations.

There’s a narrative that Gaetz was a deliberate head-fake — a distraction to boost the real candidate — but I am always suspicious of narratives that attribute four-dimensional chess to trump as opposed to knocking over the table and eating the checkers.

This is exactly right. Trump’s big advantage is that he’s playing tic-tac-toe without a pencil but somehow convinces people he’s multiverse time-travel chess.

In less than two years, MAGA is going to blame "corporate greed" for the impact of Trump's universal tariffs and resulting trade war.

Mark my words.
Walmart is preparing to raise prices if Trump delivers on his tariffs promises.

Walmart CFO:

"We never want to raise prices... But there probably will be cases where prices will go up for consumers."

Remember, foreign countries don't pay the tariffs.

You pay the tariffs.

I have no illusion about Senate Republicans, but I still pray they summon the last bit of their balls to stop Gabbard.
Have Gaetz if you want, or the brainworm guy, or a literal worm... I don't care. But can you guys please stop Gabbard? Can we at least have some time to say goodbye to freedom?

Trump just tapped this man to run the Department of Health and Human Services.

To the next generation of American children, I'm sorry we let this happen.

This has to be one of the most ludicrous strings of appointees...ever? Granted, I don't have a historical take on it, but at least in my lifetime I've never seen such a shit-show.
