Tariffs are a tax on American consumers and manufacturers.

The Trump tariffs amount to an average tax increase of nearly $1,300 per US household in 2025 and over $1,600 per US household in 2026.

The US economy saw 3% GDP growth in Q2. But it was highly unusual... 1) A massive decline in imports (-35% for goods) lifted GDP 2) Consumption was +1.4% -- a solid, but not spectacular number. 3) Business investment DECLINED in Q2 This is an economy running just above 1% if

3% GDP growth sounds good except the investment and exports are down, consumer spending weak. Entirely driven by a collapse of imports.

President Trump’s tariffs amount to an average tax increase of nearly $1,300 per U.S. household in 2025.

The worst criminals in DC are in Congress and the White House, not street crime, which isn't on the rise or some sort of crisis. Far more robbery in DC happens in the halls of power than in the streets and back alleys.

No, Big Balls getting carjacked is not justification to call in the National Guard. Yes, crime should be handled. It's on the decline in DC. None of this justifies the federal takeover of DC and what we've seen the last 48 hours.

HOLY CRAP! This is Really bad for Inflation: The US PPI numbers are out and they're MUCH higher than expected! Headline PPI YoY: 3.3% (exp 2.5%, prev 2.3%). Now let me explain why this is so terrible for inflation. PPI = Producer Price Index. It's basically the wholesale

What if we ended gerrymandering for good w/ #ProportionalRepresentation? What would congressional maps look like? See how the #FairRepAct makes elections fairer w/ multi-member districts & #RankedChoiceVoting ⬇️

This is just a reminder to all you culture warriors out there. Ronald Reagan and George W Bush were both male cheerleaders in college. Don't get your boxers in a bunch because the NFL has male cheerleaders. Frankly, we have a 37 trillion dollar national debt and about a
