let me make sure i’m understanding this correctly
the supreme court is refunding all tariff money back to corporations.
the same corporations that didn’t pay a single cent of those tariffs to begin with.
they passed every dollar directly to you through higher prices on everything you buy
you went to the store and paid more for groceries. you paid more for clothes. for car parts. for literally everything.
that money came out of YOUR pocket not theirs
and now the refund goes to THEM?
the corporations who used the tariffs as an excuse to raise prices even higher than the tariff itself and pocket the difference
the american people funded the tariffs.
the corporations profited off the tariffs.
and now the corporations get a refund on money they never spent in the first place
and nobody in washington thinks the people who actually paid should get the money back.
not a single person has even suggested it
guess we are never getting our DOGE checks either
this country does not work for you.
it works for them. it’s a joke
and they’re not even pretending anymore
Iranian Ambassador: I think that, once more, this war has shown that the United States will not bring security and stability to the region.
In response to the representative of the United States, I only want to refer to some remarks by the U.S. president, who initiated this war of aggression against Iran.
On March 21st, he threatened to hit and obliterate Iran’s power plants. On March 28th, he escalated this threat, saying he wanted to blow up and completely obliterate critical infrastructure, including power plants, oil facilities, Kharg Island, and desalination installations.
On April 1st, he declared his intention to bring Iran “back to the Stone Age,” explicitly threatening to strike all electric generating facilities. On April 5th, he again openly threatened to target civilian infrastructure, stating that “Tuesday will be power plant day and bridge day. There will be nothing like it.”
And two days later, he resorted to language that is not only deeply irresponsible but profoundly alarming, declaring that “the whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back.”
Such rhetoric is unbefitting of any political leader, let alone the head of a permanent member of the Council entrusted with the maintenance of international peace and security.
NEW VIDEO: In a stunning scene, Iranians form a human chain around a power plant as Trump’s deadline approaches, risking everything to protect their infrastructure.
Rubio: Imagine if Iran funded the well-being of its people, rather than its military
Trump, two days later: We can’t fund daycare or Medicaid, we need more money for our military
Massive corruption exposed on ABC News. A UAE official bought a 500 million dollar secret stake in a Trump company right before getting access to guarded US AI chips. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche desperately tries to deflect. The White House is for sale.
Sure sounds like somebody at DOGE took the Social Security numbers and personal information of every American on record, and put it on a thumb drive to bring home to Elon Musk’s AI company.
GEORGIA — Trump’s DHS just bought an ICE detention warehouse for $128 MILLION… that sold for $29 MILLION two years ago… from a Russia-based real estate company.🤔
Nothing to see here, folks!
We are being looted so hard by these crooks

WTF?! The GOP’s “Save America Act” (previously just “SAVE”) requires that states implement voter purge programs using programs such as the “SAVE” system, which consistently marks citizens as noncitizens, per this new report by ProPublica & the Texas Tribune. @JenFifield@zachdespart.
Meanwhile, the Act imposes *no penalty* for erroneous purges but potential *prison time* (up to 5 years) for erroneous registrations. This is voter suppression, full stop. 1/
BREAKING: This shocking new video reveals Ohio Republican Jon Husted's efforts to hide the Epstein Files – after taking thousands from an Epstein co-conspirator. Wow.
When Kansas did a version of the SAVE Act, it purged around 40 ineligible voters - and stopped 31,000 legal citizens from registering to vote (12% of all applicants). That's 775 legal voters lost for every 1 ineligible voter.
