There’s something mentally wrong with the President of the United States.

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

Business tariff refunds set to begin; $166 billion to be refunded - UPI.com The Trump administration will begin refunding $166 billion the government collected through tariffs the U.S. Supreme Court ruled illegal.

Total capitulation by the Trump administration. What a complete and utter humiliation!
