Smith said the modern Democratic Party would need to be purged for him to seek that party’s nod.According to Smith, Democrats had taken their progressive politics too far.TAPPER: If you were to run for president, though, it would be as a Democrat, or no? SMITH: You know what? I’m an independent. I’m a registered independent. I would lean — who leans left. I’m fiscally conservative when it comes to my money. I’m socially liberal.

Online retailer Temu is blocking U.S. customers from buying items from Chinese sellers now that those items come with a 145 percent tariff attached. What was known as the de minimis rule on foreign goods expired Friday, according to CNBC. Under that rule, items valued at $800 or less were exempt from duties and tariffs. President Donald Trump ended that policy, saying the step was necessary to address the flow of drugs into America. “President Trump is targeting deceptive shipping practices by Chinese-based shippers, many of whom hide illicit substances, including synthetic opioids, in low-value packages to exploit the de minimis exemption,”…

MIAMI, FLORIDA – APRIL 10: A sign displays the price per gallon of gas at a Shell station on April … MoreGetty Images President Donald Trump has been announcing that gas prices are way down — or, as CNN put it, his “imaginary gas price has fallen.” He reportedly has said that “three states” had seen gas prices drop to $1.98 a gallon. That’s not even close to being true, but there are deeper questions. Gas prices are down year over year and up from the beginning of the year. One’s a normal seasonal change. The other, even though it’s…

You’re not the Rebellion—you’re the Empire,” the message…

Starting in 2027, the European Union will expand its emissions trading system (ETS) into new territory with the launch of ETS2. While the original ETS primarily targeted heavy industry and power plants, ETS2 directly impacts ordinary citizens — their homes, their cars, their daily lives. Under the guise of ’saving the climate,’ the EU will steadily make gasoline, diesel, and gas for heating more expensive.

Friday, during Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” Trafalgar Group pollster Robert Cahaly called out so-called “fake polls” intended to pressure congressional Republicans to back away from the support of President Donald Trump’s agenda. “You know, it was interesting to watch the focus group, Robert, with Van Jones, that I had in the opening monologue,” host Sean Hannity said. “And you know, people are not regretting voting for Donald Trump and then to watch their polls to say, yeah, if the election were held again today, Trump would still wipe the floor with Kamala Harris or probably any other Democrat for that matter.…
