April 9, 2025 at 5:19 PM EDT Sen. Elizabeth Warren appeared on CNBC Wednesday to talk about tariffs and their impact on American consumers""and make Trump apologist host Joe Kernen look like an absolute fool in the process. When Warren warned that manufacturers would use tariffs as an excuse for price gouging, Kernen tried to argue that a recent drop in egg prices proves that price gouging isn't a thing (never mind the recent federal investigation into egg price fixing). Warren proceeded to flummox the business host by citing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's recent analysis of President Donald Trump's past tariffs""specifically his 2018 tariffs on washing machines.

April 9, 2025 at 11:00 AM EDT President Donald Trump gave a speech to the House Republican campaign arm on Tuesday night in which he bragged about how his tariff policy is going to be a boon for Republicans in the 2026 midterms. "I really think we're helped a lot by the tariffs situation that's going on. Which is a good situation, not a bad.

The move is yet another step toward deregulation so that the Trump administration can pollute our air and water and ruin our federal lands. In addition to dismantling the Environmental Protection Agency and eliminating dozens of regulations restricting the amount of pollution coal plants are allowed to pump into the air and waterways, Trump's orders will open public land for more mining and halt the planned closures of economically unviable coal plants.
