Americans will pay up to 95% of Trump’s chaotic tariffs. Yet Donald Trump still has zero plan to give tariff refunds back to YOU. I'm pressing Trump's top trade official for answers. You deserve to get your money back.

I wish more people would realize this. Any AGI, when asked what to do to fix global warming, would respond “first turn me off, then do all the things your scientists have been telling you to do for decades” Either that or it would look at the data and respond “you’re too late”.

Somewhere in a sweltering desert, cockroaches scurry around the cell of Carlitos Ricardo Parias. He holds up a plastic bottle, gazing at the worm-like creatures swimming in his water. His other arm is turning purple from a gunshot wound for which he says he hasn’t received proper medical care.
