That tariff revenue is also called a massive TAX on every day Americans. So our GOP leadership managed to raise taxes AND increase deficit at the same time...that's quite a feat.
We've brought in nearly $100B in tariff revenue so far and are on track for $300B this year. That's almost 1% of GDP. June delivered a budget surplus with higher revenue and lower spending. This is how we clean up the fiscal mess we inherited.
Gee, are we sensing a pattern here? Unqualified and incompetent SecDef has an issue with qualified, competent women in the military, especially leaders.
Pete Hegseth continues his purge of women from U.S. military leadership, @RadioFreeTom writes in The Atlantic Daily. theatlantic.com/newsletters/ar…
This isn’t getting enough attention. Trump and the GOP tariffs are costing American manufacturers BILLIONS $ of dollars.
As major companies report earnings this week, General Motors says President Trump’s tariffs have cost it about $1.1 billion in just three months. CBS News’ @TheKellyOGrady breaks down the numbers.
The cuts the Trump admin (and every single one of its GOP enablers) are pushing affecting these Afghans who were promised a home here is a national SHAME and a scourge upon our morality as a nation. washingtonpost.com/world/2025/07/…
I hope everyone understands what's going on here. It's not about trade deals. It's not about creating more manufacturing. Tariffs are a way to tax the working class in order to pay for tax cuts for the rich. It's a colossal bait and switch.

Maybe the Speaker shouldn't talk so much about transparency when he is shutting down the House to avoid transparency.

The Big "Beautiful" Bill misconceptions from Medicaid fraud to immigrant eligibility. This episode dives into the nuance of why this bill is more of a betrayal than anything.
The devil is in the details, and there are so many hidden details in Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill." Senior Director of Federal Budget Policy at The Center for American Progress, Bobby Kogan, joins TIB to dig into the fine print— out everywhere now! youtu.be/LZ4ZjkZ0KTQ
The more questions arise about the Epstein stuff, the more Trump's bootlickers will have to flat out make sh!t up to desperately try and distract.
BARTIROMO: Do you expect indictments and prosecutions? GABBARD: In my view, yes, we have evidence to be able to move forward to prosecute and indict those responsible BARTIROMO: I want to put a spotlight on those responsible -- Barack Obama, John Brennan, James Clapper ...
csis.org/analysis/memor… Terribly sad to hear of the passing of Andrew Schwartz. He was a great man, keen intellect who asked the right questions to always get to the truth of the matter. He will truly be missed.
Riiiiiiight. Sure.

Ross Ulbricht created Silk Road, a darknet site for drugs, fake IDs, and hacking tools. He got 2 life sentences + 40 years
Trump: “I kept my promises to the community and granted a full presidential pardon to Ross Ulbricht…It was so important to a certain group of people.”
When you fire your top staff every other month, things must be going well…right?

Still can't get over this one-handed catch by Brysen Wright 😱 @NFLFLAG
Andry Hernández Romero, the innocent make-up artist imprisoned without trial for 4 months in El Salvador by the Trump admin, is FREE. He was wrongfully accused of being a gang member because of his “mom” and “dad” tattoos, and illegally sent to El Salvador without due process.
We have been in touch with Andry Hernández Romero’s legal team and they have confirmed he is out of CECOT and back in Venezuela. We are grateful he is alive and are engaged with both the State Department and his team.
Insurers are hiking ACA premiums by a median of 15% next year, based on early reports. ACA enrollees will see their out-of-pocket premiums skyrocket by an average of over 75% if enhanced premium tax credits are allowed to expire at the end of this year. healthsystemtracker.org/brief/individu…
I don't know who needs to hear this, but taking $9.4 billion from global aid, PBS, and NPR isn't saving money when you've just passed tax breaks for the rich that add $3.4 TRILLION to the deficit.
“The CA Ntl Guard had 72 soldiers whose enlistment was set to expire during the deployment. Of those 72, at least two have now left the Guard and 55 others have indicated that they will not extend their service.” Guardsmen called this a “fake mission.” nytimes.com/2025/07/16/us/…
This is a scandal. The Trump admin and DOGE are 100% responsible for this massive waste.
