New tariff just dropped.
Americans set to pay an additional 10% tax on all goods from Germany, the UK, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland.
It starts in two weeks, rising to 25% by June.
(Aside: A trade war with one EU country is a trade war with the entire EU).

Eric Swalwell answering a question on how the next governor of California will protect Californians from ICE.
“They're going to lose their immunity. They're not going to be able to drive. I will take your driver's license. Good luck walking to work, assholes.”

American commentators and right wing politicians are expressing shock that countries they have repeatedly threatened with invasion, disrespected on the international stage, and economically bullied are forging new alliances.
Sorry guys, but it’s FAFO time.

I’ll never get over this. Trump unfairly pardoned someone, they turned around and committed a new crime, and Trump pardoned them again.
You can commit any any crime you want as long as you have the money, power, and connections to get yourself a pardon.

Realistically, the Nobel Peace Prize lost most of its legitimacy when it was awarded to Henry Kissinger in the 70s. If it can be awarded to the architect of decades of destabilization and civilian death, it no longer means “peace” in any capacity.
I think it’s basically time to retire the peace prize because it really is meaningless at this point. Another 100+ year-old tradition cheapened, wrecked, and discredited by the gauche garish gangster.

Phrases like “Child mortality crisis” have a tendency to downplay what’s really happening, we need to always call it what it is, “Genocide”. These children aren’t dying spontaneously, they are being murdered by a hostile invading force.
Child mortality crisis continues in Gaza, with more than 100 killed since ceasefire

Medical sources confirmed to the news agency Anadolu that the newborn, named Aisha Ayesh al-Agha, died as a result of freezing temperatures, and that when she was brought to Nasser hospital in Khan Younis it was already too late to save her. Continue reading...

There is a reason he’s forced to cause all of this chaos. He has NO PLAN. He funds no programs, no healthcare, no education, no lower prices, money coming in only supports more chaos. He envies other dictators. I challenge ANYONE to tell me just one single thing he’s accomplished? Discussion open
