EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Mark Pocan just blew the lid off a MAGA cover-up: FOUR Republican Senators switched their votes to confirm Trump’s cabinet after their families got death threats from MAGA lunatics. That’s not democracy. It’s terrorism - and it’s infecting the GOP from inside.

I bought a dozen eggs today for $1.97
The worst of the bird flu epidemic was over in March so retail should be coming down. Im seeing regular eggs cheaper than cage free now, which us weird because they should always be cheaper than cage free. Still more expensive than a year ago though which is more on the grocer than disease or supply issues.
Next thing will be the pans to cook them in and the plates/silverware to serve them. I think at this point everyone knows we are going to blink when it comes to going through with tariffs but even the bluff will be enough of an excuse for retailers to raise prices.
So, we really thought we were in for a fight in the construction world. I've seen a lot of letters on tariffs. There has been a fair amount of stress about the issue. But as of today, it's been pretty much a big nothing burger.
I can't speak for any other industry.
Yeah. My industry has been going through a lot because of tariffs. Pretty much every manufacturer has added on a tariff recovery fee of some sort. It’s causing all kinds of issues because customers in my vertical budget based on bonds that were passed. Sometimes passed years ago. They can’t increase their budget, so one of three things have to happen.
1. We lower our price. Margins are usually so thin, we can’t do this without losing money.
2. They buy fewer products. The client doesn’t want to do this. New builds have to be completed with product. Refreshes would mean they keep some old product they were hoping to replace.
3. They choose cheaper product. We try to steer them into our value lines, but this also causes them to consider competitors and we lose sales.
We just went through a round of layoffs due to “economic uncertainty.” I wouldn’t be surprised if we go through at least another round, because Trump makes trade decisions based on his blood sugar levels.
Yeah. I think in the grand scheme of things it will be nothing. There was a lot of stuff earlier in the year like the surcharge on Chinese shipping vessels that could have been really problematic but none of it has really materialized. But it has created opportunities for profit taking by letting the consumer believe you are passing a cost onto them and that will have an impact.

President Trump’s son Eric and son-in-law Michael Boulos founded a nonprofit to raise money for Trump’s presidential library, according to incorporation papers.
Meta and ABC News have already pledged a combined $37 million in funding for the library to settle lawsuits Trump filed against them before taking office.

Phang: We’re going to be facing an exceptional brain drain, already accelerated by the horrific policies instituted by Trump and the Republicans—policies pushed under the false guise of being “anti-DEI.” And now, on top of that, they’re punishing nearly 7,000 foreign students at Harvard University for absolutely no reason other than what Trump himself has called a “campaign of retribution.”

We manufacture products here using parts mostly from overseas with the exception of some of our more critical components that we source domestically. We sell globally and because of the previous tariffs we added a manufacturing facility in China to make our products that are being sold to Canada and other international markets. NOW we're having to find Chinese sources for our domestic parts too because of the tariffs our Chinese plant is having to deal with for our domestic components... It's a mess...

Please, Republicans in Congress, stop this disjointed nonsense:
Reporter: What are you hoping to achieve with a 50% tariff on the E.U. Trump: There is no tariff. What they will do is they will send their companies into the US.
Reporter: Are you looking for a deal in 9 days? Trump: I’m not looking for a deal. We’ve set the deal at 50%.
