Bessent says tariffs aren’t inflationary. Goldman Sachs says Americans are paying 55% of them. If he thinks that’s ‘disjointed,’ he should try buying groceries like the rest of us.

The leaked group chat of Young Republican leadership in Politico yesterday is disgusting, but the long list of elected Republicans who embraced these people with open arms is disturbing.

Don't expect Mike Johnson and House Republicans to care about military families who are worried about not getting their next paycheck, he's too busy using them as pawns in his political games.

Trump lied when he said foreign countries would pay for his tariffs.

Instead, working families are the ones footing the bill at the grocery store.

And prices will climb even higher when his next round of tariffs hits next month.
