BREAKING: President Trump announces he is raising tariffs on cars and trucks coming into the US from the EU to 25%. President Trump says this is due to the EU "not complying with out fully agreed to trade deal."

@_9m4j Well, have you heard Trump addressing the raging fires or tornadoes? Evidently, not a priority like his $400 million ballroom or arch. Very 😞 sad

@DickTaylor The doubling of fuel costs is staggering. Do you think this will lead states to reduce the frequency of aerial patrols this year, or will there be emergency additional funding to cover the shortfall?

The Iran war has nearly doubled jet fuel prices in the United States. That means the bill for firefighting aircraft operations this summer will likely rise by tens of millions of dollars. apple.news/AKp9UcFQmT4iQh…

BREAKING: Apple stock, $AAPL, rises over +4% after reporting stronger than expected Q 1 2026 earnings.

AI is reshaping the American workplace. 66.3% of US workers earning over $200,000 used AI tools at work over the last 12 months, according to a Fed survey. This is followed by those earning $100,000-$200,000 and $50,000-$100,000, at 51.6% and 40.2%, respectively. By comparison, just 15.9% of Americans earning less than $50,000 used AI tools at work over the same period. Furthermore, college graduates were more than twice as likely to use AI at work as those without a degree, at 58.7% versus 22.9%. Full-time workers used AI at nearly 2 times the rate of part-time workers, at 42.7% versus 24.7%. Among workers who do use AI, 68.0% said it makes their job easier, and 56.7% claimed it boosts their productivity. AI is transforming how Americans work.

Here is 2 minutes of Donald Trump on the 2024 campaign trail pledging to lower your energy and electric bills by 50% within 12 months of taking office. Can we get an update on this from MAGA?

Carl Sagan’s prediction about America, made 31 years ago.

🚨OH MY GOD: Senator Kristin Gillibrand just handed Pete Hegseth his ASS and made him realize that he's testifying at the Senate Armed Services Committee and not blabbing on Fox & Friends. “Why do you continue to prosecute a war that the American people aren't behind?”

🚨Explosive Report: CNN details new developments in the Epstein case - CNN finds unredacted videos of underage girls in Epstein files!

Donald Trump cut in front of Queen Camilla and King Charles to greet officials from his administration. And this is who tens of millions voted for. What an embarrassment.

Republicans don’t want people to see this video: Multiple clips of Donald Trump promising half price electricity bills within one year. Have your energy bills gone down 50%?

A Supreme Court so fundamentally hostile to the rights of minority voters places the Court at odds with democracy itself. This is the legacy of Chief Justice John Roberts. I opposed his nomination back in 2005, and I stand by that.

The US is draining its oil reserves at a rapid pace: The Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) dropped -7.12 million barrels last week, the largest weekly drawdown since October 2022. This marks the 5th consecutive weekly decline, the longest streak since 2023. Over this period, US oil reserves in the SPR have fallen -17 million barrels, to 398 million, the lowest since April 2025. This comes as total US oil and fuel exports surpassed 14 million barrels per day for the first time in history, as overseas buyers scramble to replace lost Middle Eastern supply. Furthermore, commercial crude stocks declined -6.23 million barrels last week, the largest weekly decline since early February. Gasoline and distillate stocks also fell sharply, by -6.08 million barrels and -4.49 million barrels, respectively, pushing total gasoline supplies to their lowest seasonal level since 2014. Global demand for US oil has never been higher.

A fantastic ad from an incredible public servant.
