The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.

Today, President Barack Obama and I read to a group of toddlers at Learning Through Play Pre-K Center in the South Bronx.  In between singing wheels on the bus, we discussed our administration’s vision for this City — one where New York’s Cutest have the strongest start possible.

Trump is “increasingly desperate” because he is not in a “dominant position” and “cannot dictate terms,” while “the Iranians are not going to accept a ceasefire that puts them in the same position as Lebanon and Gaza,” says @tparsi.bsky.social of the Quincy Institute.
