Tariffs explained to MAGA by a professional Importer / Exporter #gentleparenting

[No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen @NoLieWithBTC]

Trump has ordered the National Institutes of Health to cancel their review panels on cancer research.

“The impact of [Trump’s] collective executive orders appears devastating,” one senior NIH employee says.

@citehchris A fire came very close to my house when I was away. 1 of my dogs ran and hid deep in my backyard. The house sitter couldn’t find him. She was panicking. Finally she asked my GS to find him, and he did thank god. Animals freak out. It’s not always easy!

Trump wants to cut the corporate tax rate to 15%. This would give...

-The 5 largest banks a $4.1B tax cut
-The 5 largest drug makers a $3.1B tax cut
-The 5 largest US oil companies a $2.5B tax cut
-The 5 largest grocery stores a $1.7B tax cut

Some populist, huh?

@WallStreetApes @CollinRugg CNN does not receive taxpayer funding. They are not public broadcasters, they rely on private funding mostly from advertising fees.

@Uce_Lee714 @TheRickyDavila @Uce_Lee714 they dated for less than two years. So… you are incorrect. I take it you care just as much about the women Trump slept with over the years? If not, why not?

So it begins.

MAGA is about to find out how tariffs actually work first hand.

[Jean O'Donnell @JeanCavO]

@johnqpublius @zerochills Good lord. Anyone who never had a baby who cried a lot/colic, weighing in on this is too much to handle. Trust me: the mom is worn out more than the neighbor.

The biggest welfare recipient in America is the richest family in America, the Walton family, who inherited Walmart, never have to work a day in their lives & are worth $354 billion by paying wages so low that many Walmart workers rely on food stamps, Medicaid & public housing.

Food company profit increases since inflation peaked:

Cheesecake Factory +471%
Cal-Maine +268%
Jack In The Box +213%
Chipotle +110%
Starbucks +47%
Sysco +43%

How much did they collectively spend on stock buybacks? Over $10 billion.

They used inflation as cover to get rich.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Americans spent 25% more on food at the start of 2024 compared to 2020.

During that time the country’s ten largest grocery and restaurant brands took their fattened profits and collectively spent $77 billion on stock buybacks and dividends.

What's really driving inflation?

@damnitmadeline 1 of many: rec’d calls on our “teen” phone. Whoever was calling wouldn’t say anything, just breathing. Calls never happened unless I was home. Had to be someone watching me come and go. Yrs later found out creepy young guy across street liked me.

Project 2025 will get rid of the FDIC so your bank accounts are no longer insured, while also deregulating banks so they can take risks that make them more likely to fail. How do you feel about the safety of your life savings being up to banks?
F**king VOTE

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

5 of 6 SCOTUS justices who voted to give presidents the power of kings, legalize bribery, criminalize homelessness, and make it harder to regulate pollution were nominated by GOP presidents who initially lost the popular vote.

This is not how a functioning democracy should work.

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it a thousand times: The treatment for an ectopic pregnancy, a septic uterus, or a miscarriage that your body won’t release is abortion. If you can’t get those abortions, you die. You. Die.
