Tariffs are taxes. Tariffs are regressive taxes. Tariffs are distortionary, regressive taxes. Tariffs are distortionary, regressive taxes that raise prices for US businesses and consumers.

Oh, and @TPAction should probably not meddle in primaries ever again.

Today, the Trump administration announced its 41st equity stake in a private US company (this time: the drone-maker Neros). Also, be sure to get out and vote today to stop socialism in America.

Interestingly, Bletchley Park in World War Two followed exactly this approach. They didn't hire people for a role. They hired interesting people and allowed them to find out what they were good at. – at Boston, MA
i’m going to say something brave. talent pipelines should die. not every career needs a feeder school, feeder job, etc. people should be able to try things, learn on the job, and change direction as they grow. we’ve optimized the serendipity out of professional life.

OPINION by Michael Schaus: “The party’s Trump-first approach toward partisan politicking has undeniably damaged its reputation among the nonpartisans, moderates and casual voters who are needed to win general elections.” thenevadaindependent.com/art…

"What was the unforgivable transgression Republican Rep. Mark Amodei committed to earn such an excommunication from his political party? Well, he refused to get in line and support a carpetbagging, scandal-ridden candidate backed by the Trumpian sycophants who currently run the GOP's establishment." via @schausmichael

I appreciate the positive attention from new corners of the political Twitterverse. But if you’re a Democrat who opposes these actions by Republicans but supports any of them from your own party, you also missed the point of the article.

I want nothing more than to believe this. Alas, I was conscious from 2008-2016.

LOL, the problem here isn't GWB or @JohnCornyn. Not even close to being the problem. You were all warned what would happen. You wanted to eat this shit sandwich and try to force the rest of us to eat it, too. You wanted the very worst candidate that you could find. You got him!
If John Cornyn and George W. Bush loved America they would put personal differences w/Ken Paxton aside and support his candidacy for the sake of Texas and the nation. Their unforgivable silence tells us EVERYTHING about them. VOTE FOR KEN PAXTON!

We should do elections in August. October is too wonderful a month to be ruined by this idiocy.

It’s elitist to make fun of the Cheesecake Factory and cool and populist to own a club for billionaires that your fans could never imagine eating at.
Trump: You'll be my guest at Mar a Lago. The problem is that for $5,000, the most you'll be able to buy is a hamburger and maybe a small dessert. I'm not even sure you could buy that. That's not a good place if you're price conscious

The constant griping about Ukraine and Zelenskyy has become very annoying. They are defending their country from invasion. That doesn't mean we have to give them everything they want or value their security more than the U.S. economy, but the blame for all of this lies solely with Vladimir Putin and I'm sick of pretending otherwise.
