Trump ran on cutting taxes. But once tariffs are counted, his policies are raising taxes and costs this year for every income group except the richest 1%, per a new report from the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy. The reason: tariffs, which are largely passed on to consumers as higher prices, outweigh the tax cuts for most Americans. Even the right-leaning Tax Foundation calls the tariffs the largest U.S. tax increase as a share of GDP since 1993.

Remember when egg prices were $6 a dozen? It might not have been for the reasons you thought. In a new story from me and @SteveVolk for @POLITICOMag, we recount the alleged egg price-fixing conspiracy, the settlement with DOJ and what it means for our politics.

Proponents of Trump's policies say that OBBBA provided large tax cuts for everyone. In reality, those tax cuts are heavily skewed toward the well-off. The richest 1% will receive nearly a fourth of the total benefits this year.

Last year, six huge companies got $83 BILLION in federal tax breaks. Meanwhile, Americans struggled to afford groceries and doctor's visits. Let that sink in.
