You are lying. Forbes did a study on this.
“ With over 25,000 visitors to this test page, the results were unequivocal. While a few dozen shoppers added the American-made version to their cart, the final tally of actual purchases was… exactly zero. Not a single consumer bought the American-made product at the higher price point. “

I’ve a trade deficit with my barber. I can’t continue to do business with him until he buys something from me of equal value. He’s done taking advantage of me. Not anymore.

Dear Grand kids & Great Grandkids,
WE WERE THERE AND WE STOOD IN THE STREETS FOR YOU. WE MAY NOT SEE THE FUTURE BUT WE KNOW YOU WILL PREVAIL. THE ARC OF JUSTICE IS LONG.
WE’VE BEEN HERE BEFORE.
WE WILL BE HERE AGAIN.
NEVER GIVE UP. FIGHT.

I just got off the phone with a business owner in Mississippi. He’s pumped millions into a business distributing a product he imports from China. His contract with the company prevents him from manufacturing it in the U.S.
He also has contracts with a number of large retailers (Walmart, Walgreens, etc). He described some of those contracts as inflexible — requiring him to sell a unit at a set price. He told me he anticipates paying over $1 million in tariffs next week (as the 54% tariff kicks in) and has no ability to simply upcharge his retail customers to cover the expense.
In his words, “Russ, I don’t have 54% profit. This is put me out of business stuff.”
I share this because there are probably tens of thousands of businesses in similar situations. I just happened to have one reach out to me.

These are classic Russian talking points. Exactly what Putin wants.

America has always been a pillar of freedom and democracy. We have to have the moral clarity to know the difference between good and evil and right and wrong. We can’t blur those lines. We must choose a side, and it should never be the side of dictators.

8. Now let’s turn to the government-specific side. A lot of federal employees, in every branch are doing work that is classified. Sending information about what they’re doing to a single, unsecured email address is really freaking stupid.

1. First, if you think that government employees aren’t already setting goals, doing performance reviews and being held accountable.. they are. And if you’ve ever lamented that the gov’t has too much bureaucracy - HR is a part of that bureaucracy!

Elon, your 'efficiency' push just fires dedicated workers, destabilizing lives for profit. Gov jobs aren't 'low productivity'—they serve communities. Musk and Trump’s cronyism prioritizes billionaires over people. This isn’t progress, it’s chaos.

SHOCK FOOTAGE: Newly released video shows the exact moment of the impact of Delta Connection flight 4819 in Toronto.
80 people were aboard the flight. Miraculously, only 18 suffered injuries. Two are critical but stable.

The result is to suddenly give uncertainty to all biomedical researchers across the country as to whether the NIH is going to even be able to administer existing grants, let along give out new ones. This the complete OPPOSITE of government efficiency 4/N

TWO THINGS HERE:
1). Remember, there are CERTAIN BENEFITS that CONTINUE for the LIVING SPOUSES and/or the CHILDREN of a someone that has PASSED AWAY, depending on what type of benefit it is.
ALSO,
2). When I was just a FEW YEARS into my Banking Career, there were MASSIVE computer concerns over Y2K in 1999. Banking and GOVERNMENT PAYMENT PROCESSING SYSTEMS back in 1999 had Fail Safe TRIGGERS, including the systems between the Treasury & SSA built in because of it..
One of those that I recall was "If on the DATE a payment is scheduled to be process and the AGE/Birthdate Field, has a difference that is EQUAL TOO or GREATER> than 110, (years, unless that has been changed), it PREVENTS the payment from being "AUTO PROCESSED" without a MANUAL REVIEW.

Sure!
1. Global force projection - NATO bases allow us to deploy anywhere we want to protect our interests
2. Cost savings - it’s far cheaper to use NATO bases than build a bunch of our own
3. Collective defense
4. Intelligence sharing
5. Trade stability
Any questions?

I don’t care about DOGE the department.
I wish they were actually looking for waste fraud and abuse and not things they were ideologically opposed to.
And I care about sensitive information ending up on websites a whole lot.
This isn’t complicated.

Hey! @elonmusk your doge minions just fired me and my colleagues at CMMI. We were working on improving maternal health outcomes AT LOWER COSTS so that less pregnant women would die in this county. I thought that would fit nicely into your agenda?

Read/copy/repost if you can
From an anonymous OPM employee on Reddit. submitted 3 hours ago by Throwaway918284: "I'm a current employee at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). This is a throwaway account for obvious reasons. I’m posting this because people need to know what’s going on at OPM. I’ve been an OPM employee for nearly a decade and a Federal Employee for almost 20 years. I’ve never witnessed anything even remotely close to what’s happening right now. In short, there's a hostile takeover of the federal civil service.
Let me say this in no uncertain terms — OPM has been compromised and taken over. The very backbone of American Government, the HR of all HR in the U.S. Government has been taken over by outside politicals. In just five days, they managed to push aside dozens of non-political, career civil servants who were there specifically to prevent the civil service from becoming the President's henchmen.
The current Acting Director, Charles (Chuck) Ezell is a low-level branch chief. He's the friendliest “yes man” you'll ever meet. He never says no. It’s clear they pushed aside all the high-level non political civil servants who refused to do Donald Trump's bidding, until they found Chuck.
Under his name, they’ve sent numerous requests to all the agencies to collect information on gov't employees that they see as a threat to their agenda. Instructions say to send these lists to Amanda Scales. But Amanda is not actually an OPM employee, she works for Elon Musk. She wasn’t even properly cleared by OPM Personnel Security.
Our CIO, Melvin Brown, (also a non political career public servant) was pushed aside just one week into his tenure because he refused to setup email lists to send out direct communications to all career civil servants. Such communications are normally left up to each agency.
Instead, an on-prem (on-site) email server was setup. Someone literally walked into our building and plugged in an email server to our network to make it appear that emails were coming from OPM. It's been the one sending those various “test” message you've all seen. We think they're building a massive email list of all federal employees to generate mass RIF notices down the road.
The non-political civil servants here at OPM are watching helplessly as our government is being systematically dismantled bit by bit. Even the IGs are being fired to prevent them from investigating the numerous whistleblower complaints we've filed.
Please share this and tell the world that OPM is not the bad guy. We're just as helpless to stop this as the rest of our fellow public servants. Hopefully someone out there can help us, but it’s looking pretty grim."
