In the least surprising news, the average American household will pay an extra $1,300 in 2026 due to Trump’s tariffs, up from $1,000 in 2025. It's almost as if tariffs are a tax.

This answer - from one of the president’s key economic advisors - is disgraceful.
And, fwiw, the number for tariff pass through is closer to 94-96 percent

Hassett on new study from NY Fed showing 90% of tariff burden is being shouldered by US firms & consumers: "The paper is an embarrassment. It's I think the worst paper I've ever seen in the history of the Fed system. The people associated with this paper should presumably be disciplined."

Elon posted this yesterday. Just for fun I did it with my before/after cancer PET scans that I had already posted online. In the "before" scan Grok missed the massive tumor lighting up my liver, and in both scans it flagged a non-existent "area of concern" in my chest. Other than that, works great!

I think it’s time for Democratic leaders to start saying “if you’re a pilot or ground crew involved in a deportation that was stayed by a judge, you’ll be held criminally liable for human trafficking.” Everyone involved in these flights should have that fear in the back of their minds.
Overnight, this probable ICE flight landed in Benin and is now returning to Senegal, likely for a crew layover.

This is why there must be a full, independent investigation of every incident that ICE has been involved in. DHS and this administration cannot be trusted to carry out investigations on their own.
And it’s why Democrats are fighting to rein in ICE.

The guidelines from the Democrats in Congress for ICE agents are normal requests.
What’s not normal is ICE operating without oversight.
Requiring unmasking, providing identification, and following the law is basic accountability, not a radical demand.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

Your tax dollars paid for another Trump golf trip this morning. Trump left Mar-a-Lago (Spanish name by the way) at 9:07 AM and arrived at his nearby golf club at 9:14 AM.
He doesn’t allow press access, so we have no official transparency into who Trump is meeting with and why.
