Under Trump, the trade war with China led to retaliatory tariffs that directly targeted U.S. agricultural exports. Here’s a breakdown of how tariffs hurt farmers: 1. Retaliation from China: In response to Trump’s tariffs on Chinese goods, China imposed tariffs on key U.S. agricultural products…

MeidasTouch: What do you make of this $1.776 billion fund— Gavin Newsom: It’s a criminal enterprise. It’s not just corruption, it’s not just graft, it’s a full-on criminal enterprise and it needs to be shut down.

🔥 SPRINGSTEEN: "I’m here to support Stephen Colbert, the first guy who lost his show because a president can't take a joke - and the Ellisons feel they need to kiss his ass… small-minded people with no idea what freedoms of this beautiful country are supposed to be about." 🇺🇸

Look at this chart. Tax cuts for the rich are a policy choice. Cutting the social safety net in exchange for them is a policy choice. States like New York have an opportunity to help undo this trickle down nonsense by raising taxes on the rich (who will still be rich). I hope Gov. Hochul does.

Lot of people on the right crying about the Virginia redistricting vote. We told you this would happen while you were celebrating the illegal off-cycle seat grab in Texas. Stop playing stupid games if you don’t want to win stupid prizes.

Reading the FT front page story about a Chinese company introducing a battery with a 1500 km range & six minute recharging time & about how two Chinese companies own more than half of the global EV battery market & I am struck by the different realities the US and China occupy. We’ve lost the plot.

Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history. Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes. But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year. Trickle down hoax.

Tesla saved $400 million on its federal taxes by shifting billions of its U.S. profits to countries with lower tax rates. Yes: While you paid your taxes in full, giant corporations maneuvered to pay as little as possible — and it’s all perfectly legal for them. The system is rigged.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

After Marcelo Gomes da Silva was arrested by ICE on his way to volleyball practice in Milford, he made a promise to the men he shared a cell with: He’d be a voice for immigrants unfairly detained. He's one of Boston Globe Magazine’s Bostonians of the Year. trib.al/p9Edy6F

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office 2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor 3) Donors make huge profit 4) Repeat We must get big money out of politics. It is the root of our dysfunction.

HAPPENING NOW: Portland Police Commander Franz Schoening testifies that federal officers on Oct. 18 barraged protesters with crowd control munitions — not because of any violence but because another federal officer accidentally shot tear gas onto the roof of the ICE facility.

DHS says our new piece is "dishonest, slanted, and fundamentally inaccurate" but won't say why. Here's the story where we show with evidence that DHS spliced together clips spanning years and multiple locations to create its own reality. Gift link wapo.st/4nuDGwf

Illinois State Senator Karina Villa sprang into action to protect her community from ICE raids, alerting neighbors to their rights and chasing off masked agents. This is how you stand up to authoritarianism. We should all be inspired by Sen. Villa's courage.

I can’t help but notice the Wall Street Journal stopped getting Epstein leaks after Todd Blanche met with Ghislaine Maxwell and she was moved to a minimum security resort.

Just a quick note: Federalizing the D.C. National Guard is not the same thing as “martial law.” I’m not saying that makes it good, but martial law is when the military *supplants* civil government, not just doing law enforcement. Don’t credit him with more power than he has (because he’ll take it)

Reporter: The president threatened to use not just the National Guard but the military. Bowser: I think I speak for all Americans, we don't believe it is legal to use the American military against American citizens on American soil.

Inslee: If you need more energy, the dumbest thing you can do is disallow access to wind, solar, and advanced batteries—three of the most productive ways of producing new energy. And yet, that’s exactly what he’s done.
