To give perspective on how tariffs really impact industry. Thousands of parts from multiple counties, all now costing more. This is will have dramatic and lasting impacts on the auto industry, and disrupt US presence in the global economy moving forward.

The GOP used voter suppression to undermine democracy, and in only two months has destroyed America’s reputation globally, increased financial burdens on all Americans, started disappearing political opponents, and is dismantling courts to establish Trump’s authoritarian rule.

John Ratcliffe tried to argue today that Signal is approved for use for government business. While it is often used for daily communication, it is NEVER authorized for operational matters. It is certainly not for classified information. His testimony is misleading and deeply problematic.

Not surprisingly, Trump’s overall tax and tariff proposals would make the very rich much richer and working families poorer. If you earn less than $360,000 a year, your taxes are going to go way up. If you’re in the top 1%? Don’t worry. You’ll save big.
