Not so fast! Trump threatens new tariffs on smartphones days after exempting them
“From the link”But Trump chimed in on social media, saying there was no exemption for these products and called such reports about this notice false. Instead, he said that "they are just moving to a different Tariff 'bucket'".

He said he would provide an update on Monday about semiconductor duties.

I'm reading contracts that require all the documentation needed for free trade agreements. Sure, we'll give you everything you need regarding FTAs that no longer exist. That'd be ... oh yeah, nothing at all. Easy negotiation. Thanks(?), PAB!

Wow, Elmo promoting NIMBYism :(

No wonder rents on Sesame Street have only become more and more ridiculous. This is why Bert and Ernie have to be roommates, and Oscar got priced out of his home when some yuppies bought up the properties and renovated them, so now it's just a handful of townhomes for the rich rather than a gleaming tower with hundreds of apartments.

What is his fascination with alcoholic Fox News hosts?

Trump names Fox's Jeanine Pirro as interim U.S. Attorney for D.C. : NPR

Are people even vetting his nominations?

Say what you will about PAB, but no one can legitimately deny that he's been a good friend to the hammered-drunk, upward-failing wingnut shithead community.

Degenerate alcoholic Lauren Boebert's latest squeeze had to send kitchen staff home from his restaurant in Nashville to keep them from getting rounded up in ICE raids.

We like Lauren Boebert because if there's any Republican candidate who could lose that seat, it's her. They went from winning that seat by 24 pts in 2020 and 2022 to only 12 pts in 2024, despite Trump getting a +6 pt swing in the popular vote.

It is my district. Interesting note: She got almost no votes in the outlying counties - 102 in our county - and the others in our part of the state the ranchers and farmers saw through her shit. All her votes were in the more Suburban districts along the Front Range. The battle lines are already starting to form for next years election. A Rancher's daughter and a retired Rear Admiral have already announced to run in the district.

Bobo almost lost the red district in Western Colorado to a Dem in 2022 so she moved to the district in Eastern Colorado and won in 2024. That district is highly unlikely to vote blue, regardless of how much of a train wreck the GOP candidate is. Other than single 2-year stretch (2009-11), it's been red since 1973. Might be possible to primary Bobo out, but the Republicans would need to get behind a single strong candidate. The GOP primary was a clown car last time, and the clowns split the opposition.

I see we've reached the Deficit Hawk Kabuki portion of the budget process, with stupid wingnuts telling other stupid wingnuts that the "Big Beautiful Bill" fails to ravage the poor thoroughly and quickly enough. It'll pass, of course, then it's on to the Senate for more such performance art.
