Your daily reminder that the tariff taxes we now pay will never go away. Even if the tariffs are abolished. Once companies have people paying a higher price for their products, that's what they cost. Until they go up again. Prices do not go down after this kind of fuckery. Have a nice Labor Day.
🇵🇱 Polish PM Donald Tusk: For Russia this autumn and winter are supposed to be critical. The Russians want to mobilize 600,000 soldiers. The next seven months will certainly be critical. The Ukrainian-Russian war is at a turning point.

So far this year, Hegseth has removed at least 45 officers, selected by boards made up of peers, from promotion lists. More than half of those officers have been female or Black. These actions appear to violate the rules governing a promotion system that is meant to be apolitical and merit-based.
