Twenty one hours with an amateur US negotiating team is nothing more than lip service. This should not be used to justify more sacrifice of US lives or taxpayers’ money.

So did Johnson block House voting on the bill to restore TSA funding to let Trump look like the savior in restoring their salaries? If so, Johnson has to go.

We need to restate the political division in this country. The biggest issue is the widening gap between the median and the mean in every personal finance indicator.

Commodity gas price (before taxes, distributor and dealer markups) went from $1.90 to $2.30 almost overnight. 27 cents per gallon at the pump today in RI. Thanks MAGA.

The first order of business of a new Congress is to curtail or possibly repeal the War Powers Act. This misappropriation of Congress’ power has not served America well.

Trump made one really truthful statement: He wants to substitute tariff collections for income tax, “for the people I really love”. These people are not ordinary Americans. They are a specific minute group numbering less than 1% of Americans.

Went back in my tickler file, anyone have a status report on how we are governing Venezuela these days? I thought JD and Marco were in charge there.

When you are wondering why our economy only grew by 1.4%, remember that Trump’s tax on consumers drained over $150,000,000,000 from the pockets of Americans.

I wondered where this administration was getting its gas price of $1.85. Looking at commodity prices this week, this is the wholesale pricing. After state and federal taxes and the distributor or gas station profits you get the pump price.

Greg Bovine just stood up in front of national news and claimed that “the 5 year old from Minneapolis is with his family”. Translation: he is incarcerated with his father in TX. He will not be going back to his preschool Monday morning or anytime soon.

MAHA is just like MAGA. All hot air, because talk is cheap. MAHA will not work without fulfilling the Social Determinants of Health. Read the HHS website on this.

Congrats to Mayor Zohran. Successfully negotiated the Oval Office gauntlet like few have ever done. Fixing NYC should be easy after that one!

Reversing tariffs on coffee will have one of two results:
If the tariff raised the price $5, the price will come down only $3, OR, the price will come back down but the packaging size will shrink. Who knows, maybe both will happen.

I never thought I would see the day when the President of the United States would openly taunt the people and institutions of this country. If this is his idea of making our country great we shouldn’t want any part of it.

I take 3 generic tier one medications with no co-pays. Don’t know where they are manufactured. If 100% tariffs - who’s going to pay, me or my insurance plan?

The Trump admin has ordered the removal of signs and exhibits related to slavery at multiple national parks, according to four people familiar with the matter, including a historic photograph of a formerly enslaved man showing scars on his back. washingtonpost.com/climate-e…
