MAGA: “these tariffs will bring manufacturing back to the U.S.”

Manufacturers in the U.S.: “the high costs of new tariffs threaten investment, jobs, supply chains and Americas ability to outcompete other nations”

That seems like a reasonable observation. Since Chauncey became coach they’ve tanked for better draft odds every season. And since his contract expires at the end of this season, from his perspective he may as well get some wins & make a surprise push to the play-in. He’d want assurances to tank

Funeral Director here: People who pass away don’t receive social security checks once the agency has been notified. We fill out a form (SSA-721) and fax it directly to social security.

Elon Musk is lying to you.

Musk didn’t even understand how the budget for EV chargers worked (which is probably something he should have *some* understanding of) until Pete Buttigieg broke it down for him in a Twitter thread.
