  • Trump’s Tariff Agreement: A Brief Illusion of Stability

    U.S. and Chinese negotiators have finally come to an agreement to drastically reduce tariffs, all in a valiant effort to end the trade war that President Donald Trump so enthusiastically ignited earlier this year. Let’s take a moment to reflect on the chaos that ensued after Trump’s disastrous “Liberation Day” tariffs. They sent global equity…

  • Trump caves on his Chinese tariffs, but it’s too little too late!

    The Trump administration announced on Monday that for the next 90 days, Dear Leader is lowering the insane tariff he placed on all Chinese imports from 145% to 30%—enough to appease the stock market but not enough to stave off a spike in inflation and pain for American consumers. The Trump administration, for its part, painted the agreement between the U.S.…

  • RFK Jr.’s Reckless Swim Raises Mental Health Concerns

    It seems that Trump didn’t exactly hit the jackpot with his choice for Health and Human Services Secretary. In a rather questionable decision, RFK Jr. decided to take a dip in Washington, D.C.’s Rock Creek, despite clear guidance from the National Park Service regarding high bacteria levels.  And to make matters worse, he brought my…

  • Trump’s $400 Million Jet: A Luxurious Gift or Bribe?

    Nothing screams “we love bribes” quite like a $400 million plane.

White House counsel David Warrington has advised the Trump administration…

  • Social Security and Medicare: Problem Solved

    Why didn’t Republicans consider this brilliant solution instead of attempting to slash Medicare and Social Security? Democrats have introduced a groundbreaking bill that would extend the solvency of these crucial programs. Social Security and Medicare are lifelines for millions of American seniors, protecting them from poverty and medical bankruptcy. Economic justice advocates have long argued…

  • Dr. Casey Means for Surgeon General: Can it get any crazier?

    Just when we thought Trump’s picks for his administration couldn’t get any crazier, in walks his Surgeon General, Dr. Casey Means. Her academic achievements include dropping out of a medical residency in otolaryngology, and her medical license is currently inactive according to Oregon medical board records. Dr. Casey Means has been known to promote the…

  • The Consequences of Trump’s U. K. Tariff Deal on U.S. Automakers

    The so-called Trump Tariff deal with the U.K. is actually a disaster for America and U.S. auto makers. Let’s not forget that the U.K. tariff is still higher at 10 percent on everything except for 100,000 cars. The previous tariff rate was around 3 percent, but now Trump has decided to crank it up to…

  • Empty Ports a ‘good thing’?

    Can you believe the Longshoremen’s Union actually supported Donald Trump after he promised to slap massive tariffs on countries? Did they not realize that fewer ships at ports would mean fewer jobs for their union members? It’s like shooting yourself in the foot and then wondering why you can’t walk! Chinese freight vessels are avoiding…

  • Trumps New Deal Triples Taxes On Americans 

    History Lesson on Tariffs and Taxes, Boston Tea Party. Trump is proudly touting a new deal that will have Americans shelling out three times the amount in taxes for British products. How exciting! Who doesn’t love paying more for the same stuff they bought last year? According to Trump’s trusty chart, this new trade agreement…
