They’re giving US businesses tariff refunds—an admission that it was indeed the US paying the tariffs—but the cost of them was passed onto YOU. The refunds go to the businesses that marked up their goods.
Not you.
Socialize the costs; privatize the profits.
You mad? I am.
You should read this thread & the article at the end. Billionaires, whose wealth insulates them from many of the consequences of bad public policy the rest of us can’t dodge, are essentially controlling our politics & shaping our economy so that it works for them. At our expense.

@TMobileHelp, @UScellular — The US Cellular prepaid site's been broken for months. I get grace period texts every month with auto pay enabled. Usually can’t log in (see video). When I can, auto pay is “unavailable.” Not a great experience since the T-Mobile merger, tbh. Help?

Oklahoma Democrats will not support a dirty CR that allows Donald Trump's massive cuts to healthcare to remain in effect.
Republicans' plan will increase Americans' healthcare premiums by hundreds of dollars a month. That is not acceptable policy for us.
Listen to Trump’s own words regarding who is responsible for a government shutdown:
“Problems start from the top and they have to get solved from the top.”
“The president is the leader, and he’s got to get everybody in a room and he’s got to lead.”
“I really think the pressure is on the president.”
He is now refusing to meet with us, refusing to negotiate, refusing to solve anything at all. He is demonstrating the exact opposite of leadership. This is on him.
@samstein By all accounts, this image, retrieved from the Epstein estate, is over 20 years old. Why on Earth would anyone forge Donald's signature more than 20 years ago, when Trump was just an odious realtor and con artist?
