Trump Administration Takes Steps to Refund $166 Billion in Tariffs

Starting today, companies that paid Trump's illegal tariffs can seek a refund.

You know who won't get any relief? YOU, the consumer, who's paid for them all along.

Reform UK's poll score is now heading downwards very quickly. Turns out that being really unpleasant, remaining disorganised, having loads of skeletons in their closet, being reliant on a very unpopular leader and hating almost everything the public thinks doesn't work for long. Who knew eh.

Europe spent years debating whether the energy transition was affordable.

Spain quietly answered the question: gas now sets its electricity price in only 7% of hours.
