It was just another way to funnel our money to corporations!

Trump Administration Takes Steps to Refund $166 Billion in Tariffs The government debuted a system to repay importers two months after the Supreme Court struck down tariffs at the heart of the president’s trade policy.

So let’s be clear about what happened.

The president imposed illegal taxes.

Families paid the price for over a year.

The courts struck them down.

Now businesses may get refunds, but working families almost certainly will not.

And a new round of tariffs is already on the way.

Most have made no such promise.

Economists expect many businesses to simply pocket the money, especially since the president is already planning new tariffs to replace the illegal ones.

The everyday families who paid higher prices at the checkout counter get nothing. A mom who spent extra on groceries for a year cannot file a claim.

A handful of companies, like FedEx and Costco, have said they will try to pass refunds back to customers, and they should be commended. But most?

In February, the Supreme Court ruled many of Trump’s tariffs were illegal. Now the government has to refund over $166 billion, plus interest piling up at roughly $22 million every single day.

Here is the catch.

Only the businesses that paid the tariffs can apply for refunds.

Here is the truth about President Trump’s tariff mess: the American people got stuck with the bill, and most of us will never see a penny back. 🧵

I'm deleting this post, I think it made a good point but the concerns about AI are important.

This is something I've been hoping Dems do for some time. Hold the Senate GOP accountable for every incompetent the confirmed, and the destruction of American lives that resulted, but also for the oversight not exercised, especially over Iran.

I meant that I was immune from falling for his bs. He’s always repulsed me.

They are selling out our democracy for tax breaks. Billionaires would condemn a nation of people into the torment of fascism so they could acquire more billions. They are a cancer killing its host. Tax them out of existence for the survival of democracy.

If they don't have the same rules for Donald Trump as they do Eric Swalwell, this isn't about accountability.
You may want to let them know this.

It’s Tuesday! Time for some coffee! Smile! 😊

Betty Yee is stepping aside after a tough run, citing fundraising challenges. Respect to her for getting in the fight.

The field is still crowded, but momentum is starting to shift, and the pressure to consolidate is getting real.

ICYMI- a lot happened with the California governor race today and there has been a major shift.

New polling shows Republicans still leading, with Hilton out front, but on the Democratic side, Becerra is making a real move and now tied with Steyer at 13%, the biggest jump we’ve seen.

So let me get this straight: the U.S. is sending a delegation overseas led by JD Vance to negotiate with Iran… and Iran might not show up?

Genius at work.

Growing up reading Mad Magazine is probably why I am immune to Trump!

New COVID subvariant 'Cicada' on the rise in California, just in time for summer The emergence of the BA.3.2 strain comes amid broader uneasiness about COVID vaccination rates among seniors, who are especially susceptible to the virus.

“The landscape of divisiveness around vaccines is leading people to be confused and to think of COVID as being political when it’s not.”

BREAKING: Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer has resigned.

If Democrats take over the house and the Senate, good luck getting any of Trump’s appointees through to replace these two right wing nut balls. Their fear of investigation and incarceration may be democracy’s long-term saving grace..
