Costco clinches $184M in tariff refunds, with more expected
The big-box retailer said the money was reinvested to give "value back to our members." It’s more than a third of the total tariff refunds the company expects.

Wage theft is the biggest form of theft. And because employers force their employees onto poverty assistance, it's also a theft of your tax money.
The robber barons love it when you blame the people they decided to rob.

Ivana Trump is buried here, near the first tee, on Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey. Unkempt and uncared for, her grave is practically invisible. New Jersey tax code exempts cemetery land from all taxes, rates, and assessments.

That our system of government allows a "Supreme Court" to make laws up out of whole cloth, that it allows SCOTUS to say something is "Constitutional" when, in plain English it's absolutely not – is us constructing a country/a reality of mass psychosis.

Glasser's warning is simple. Fuckface's motto is: if someone punches you, punch back harder, and he's about to get punched by a midterm wipeout he can't spin away. He fired his AG after losing the House in 2018 and set off the longest shutdown ever. Losing power makes him meaner.
