The President is announcing yet another round of tariffs on the EU and Mexico.
How does increasing prices across the board like this help people in our country? Answer: it doesn’t. It’s a $2000 + annual Trump tariff tax on every family.

Trumpnomics. Terrible jobs report. #econsky
Lonski on Bartiromo's show: "Our big surprise today had to be that ADP report on private sector employment. Down by 33k jobs! Labor market is softening, flattening out. That tells me companies can increase prices in response to higher tariffs but I don't think consumers are gonna respond positively"

Washington, D.C., has a population roughly equivalent to Alaska's.
And it has zero senators. If D.C. had senators, the GOP megablil bill would have failed today.
Instead, Murkowski got carve-outs and money for Alaska, and then voted to subject DC to the bill

There are 100k students in med school each year. Room and board is about 100k per year. For 10b a year, med school could be free. We would see a wholesale change in the profession, career paths and the cost of care.

Republican plans to cap student borrowing could shatter an everyday profession
One GOP senator said anyone paying more than $100K to go to med school is "making a huge mistake." But the median cost of attending one is more than double that for the class of 2025.
