I thought Trump’s tariffs were specifically designed to dramatically reduce this number to zero.

The only time that Trump has ever won the popular vote is when 12 jurors convicted him unanimously.

The Supreme Court has ruled that the Trump administration can keep deporting people to countries they are not from, with as little as 24 hours heads up before their flight, and the court decided this secretly.

I usually attribute Trump's bizarre ramblings to either his psychopathic lying or his psychotic delusions, or some combination of the two. But this is just him being an economically illiterate moron.
President Trump Explains Trade Deficits:

“If we buy 2 billion dollars worth of Bananas from Brazil, we’re actually losing 2 billion dollars.  So if we stop eating bananas, we actually save 2 billion dollars”. 

It’s just simple Economics.

The Pentagon has been quietly paying an X influencer as a federal employee since July — and refuses to say what she does. This came out almost by accident, through the "Data Republican" leak story. It's a taxpayer-funded propaganda operation hiding in plain sight. Full breakdown:

Today, I introduced legislation to require that the minimum wage be a living wage. $25 an hour is what’s required for a full time worker to pay their bills, and we shouldn’t accept that full time work leaves people living in poverty.

Our entirely predictable Social Security “crisis" is a political choice made by a pay-to-play government, writes @michaelmechanic.bsky.social. Congress could close the gap tomorrow if lawmakers started acting in the interests of the broader public and not just the richest 10 percent.

There is no Social Security crisis
The Trump administration has priorities. Helping the little guy just isn't one of them.

Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something. For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.
