War and tariffs threaten a resilient U.S. economy
Thomas Massie: "The House will pass a $12 billion bailout for farmers suffering from high fuel & fertilizer prices caused by the Iran War, expensive equipment & parts caused by tariffs, and lower sales prices for commodities due to trade disputes with China. But the GOP is fighting communism!"
Marty Grant5It will be cheaper to just get rid of the Republican legislators that are allowing this. Help farmers by cleaning out the Republican swamp in Washington
Rocky Mountain Progressives4So $12 billion of our money is paying for Buffoon Trump’s huge mistake!!!
Jane2GOP BS. They need to be fully voted out and disband their blatantly anti-democracy cult. They are traitors to the basic tenets of democracy, the US Constitution, and their oaths of office. And they need to be criminally charged for their chronic criminal acts.
The US is not an ally, not a friend. It’s time for our government to accept this and move our defence policy accordingly. The US is damaging our standard of living in many ways, war and tariffs, instability and constant provocation of our trading partners. #CancelAUKUS #AusPol
Gordy3Maybe we should try the "close all your bases and get all your military and intelligence services out of our country. Now." and see how quickly America gets a new president.
P J White3It’s time they were out of Pine Gap & send their military personnel home. It’s not like the US even has the military ordinance to save the Sth China Sea region anyway. The administration is foolish & an utter waste of space. IMAO.
Random Sarah3We are already helping fund ICE, through our AUKUS donations. Now he wants to punish US citizens with tariffs on Aus goods 🙄
yallingup.bsky.social2Shut down Pine Gap and see what happens!!
kilisutsailor.bsky.social2You'd best be shed of us. No one can trust Trump. And no one should trust a country where the political system allows a man like him to be elected. Our Republicans are fascists. I'm 69, and I don't see us trusted again in my lifetime.
Twang 🍉2So we pay ($800 million per month to Trump for AUKUS) to be humiliated (12.5% tariff on all Australian exports to the USA). Looks like we're getting f***ed.
New: As renewed fighting with Iran sends oil and gas prices soaring once again, President Trump has imposed new global tariffs -- a series of shocks that could push up prices further at a moment when Americans are frustrated by the cost of living www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/b...
tony romm8Also, our tariff tracker is back and prettier than ever. We'll be back to updating it this year though it probably won't change as dramatically as it did during the days of IEEPA: www.nytimes.com/article/trum...
ned4477.bsky.social1Guaranteeing a Democratic midterm win, everywhere he goes. VOTE. Your life actually does depend on it this time.
Mr. Christian1Why just have challenges during the mid-terms when you can set yourself on fire?
Trump Day 550: Trump threatens larger attack on Iran, introduces new tariffs of up to 12,5%, NYT subpoena withdrawn, Pentagon removes four servicemen from the official list of war casualties ‘because they were killed after the ceasefire came into effect’: reportersonline.eu/trump-day-55...
Just Bob 512Removed four service members from the official casualty lists. Are they less dead? I think DoD tried to cook the books on casualty figures during the Vietnam War.
hibubbe.bsky.social2This was strictly to keep the number at 13, being loathe to exceed the number they've attacked Biden over... couldn't just blow past it so they kept it 13 as long as they could.
apple.news/AIJ4jpsSIQ56... I see the Iran war is going even more terribly than it was? #USHumiliation
Rob Baron1So Trump is introducing a new wave of tariffs on allies on the grounds that those countries have failed to tackle forced labour: Minimum Wage levels: USA- $7.25 (federal mw) Canada- $17.75 (federal mw) UK- £12.71 France - 12.31 euro Germany 13.90 euro... ... just sayin'
Everything seems to be a distraction from everything else
The U.S. can’t constantly be bullying people with tariffs like this. Whatever happened to free trade? No one wants a war with EU or our neighbors in Canada over illegal and punitive tariffs! But it’s obviously Biden’s fault. */sarcasm.
Long Time Fan2For 77 million maga voters it will always be Bidens fault. Or Obama. Or Hillary. Or woke democrats. The regime is a symptom. The disease is much more widespread and harder to fix.
Lee West2Retaliatory tariffs are not the answer folks. Is Alphabet/Google a part of the U.S. government now too? Commission fines Google €890 million for breaches of the Digital Markets Act ec.europa.eu/commission/p...
