Why doesn't the spineless Congress stand up to the orange wanna be dictator? This falls on their heads.

So the companies continued to make money by passing the increased costs on to the consumers, then got reimbursed by the government for the tariffs they were forced to pay. The consumer who bought the goods just paid the higher costs and received 0. Make it make sense
Rio Tazewell@riotazewell.bsky.social · 18h agoDid you see how Apple, Amazon Walmart and other big companies are refunding the billions of dollars they got back from the federal tariff settlement to their customers, who ultimately bore the cost of higher prices? Yea, me neither.
This was money paid by consumers through higher prices due to tariffs. It is being "refunded" to the giant corporations that got the money from the consumers. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
Trump administration has refunded 60% of $165bn taken in illegal tariffs
Government has so far returned $100bn to companies from levies that US supreme court struck down

This administration is so corrupt that when ordered to pay back the millions in tariffs, the only recipients on those checks were the billionaires who charged the consumers for the tariffs!

Israel is resisting key provisions of a US-backed Gaza roadmap by refusing to halt military operations or withdraw from occupied areas, despite Palestinian factions accepting the framework.

I’m old enough to remember when lying about adultery was worthy of impeachment. Feels quaint at this point.
Very proud of Abdul El-Sayed for prevailing despite a massive financial disadvantage and wall of Establishment opposition. Still, sad that so many supported a deeply dishonest neoliberal Zionist mouthpiece. Also, puzzled tens of thousands voted for a candidate who dropped out weeks ago. Onward.
The Wildberries logistics hub in Aleksin can now be considered completely destroyed.
These are the indicative estimates of Russia’s combat losses as of Aug.5, according to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
💔🇺🇦 Zelensky: As of now, 44 people are known to have been injured in the massive Russian strike on Kyiv and the Kyiv region. Unfortunately, 17 more people died. The strike was heavy: 24 ballistic missiles, 4 “Zircon/Onyx” and another 115 drones, a significant part of them jet.
I'd like to thank Donald for all he did ti help make this possible.
The Kyiv Independent@kyivindependent.com · 12h ago⚡️Update: Russian ballistic missile attack kills 15, injures 51 in Kyiv and surrounding area as rescue efforts continue. A massive Russian attack killed 15 people and injured 51 others in Ukraine's capital and Kyiv Oblast as fires engulfed Kyiv and its suburbs, authorities reported Aug. 5.
This is a war crime. This is attempted murder. This guy isn’t an enemy combatant. This is some Russian POS controlling a drone to try and murder someone, anyone. Russia is a terrorist state lead by a homicidal terrorist.
You see, this is the problem! Israel does not represent all Jews. This is propaganda designed by the Zionist Israeli's who want complete control of the Middle East. Letterman and his ilk are just propagandists for Israel. And this is dangerous if more and more elected representatives do this.

Israel is losing the public opinion battle in the US. Refaat Ibrahim warns that Netanyahu’s attempt to present Gaza as a war fought for all Jews risks fuelling the very anti-Jewish hostility Israel claims to oppose. #Gaza #Israel #USPolitics
Israel is losing America – and endangering Jews
Israel’s war in Gaza has eroded support across the US political spectrum, while Netanyahu’s claim to act for all Jews risks fuelling the very anti-Jewish hostility Israel says it opposes.

So now the next step is to find out what Capital One's months-long anti-money laundering review by professionals with decades of law enforcement experience discovered about Trump's 300+ accounts...
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 21h agoPhang: "Capital One said, 'We don't want the business anymore of the 45th president of the United States, his businesses, his failed sons, and his revocable trust.' So you can imagine -- I am just hypothesizing... but it suggests whatever Capital One uncovered was pretty bad. Makes you wonder..."
Another disaster from our incompetent Builder-in-Chief.
The same old Susan Collins charade. As soon as a controversial nominee or a bill has enough votes to pass, she announces she will vote no when it doesn’t matter. She never casts a deciding vote against Trump. Now she will claim this shows how she is so “independent.”
You could have voted to impeach in January 2000. Instead, you voted for no witnesses and no documents to be allowed at trial. You are a failed person, Cornyn.
My blood just pumps and my heart rate increases, EVERY TIME I hear this song... Scotland the Brave. There is no other sound as majestic to my ear, anywhere on this planet... More than the sound of the bagpipes. 1000 of them playing all at once, could easily own my soul for eternity. 🏴Scotland.💙

Today a funeral will be held for 112 Palestinian people of 2 families in Gaza. Recovered from the rubble of a deadly Israeli massacre. I suspect this will receive almost zero coverage from the Bias Western media.
