Donald Trump has announced a blanket 10% tariff on all goods being imported into the United States as well as targeting specific nations with further measures in the latest escalation of the US Trade War. But with American consumers set to bear the cost, are the tariffs simply intended as a massive tax hike by another name?

Voters are heading to the polls in two special elections in Florida and Wisconsin. Florida's holding special elections for Matt Gaetz and Mike Waltz's congressional seats and both seats are critical races for Republicans, given their slim majority in the House. The battleground state of Wisconsin is also voting on a new judge for the state's top court. It's become the most expensive judicial contest in US history, with more than $90 million being spent on campaigning, including $21 million by Elon Musk. Republican Strategist Matt Terrill told Mike Hosking while the Republicans are confident they'll win Florida, a different race is unfolding in Wisconsin. He says the outcome will send a signal as to where the pulse of the country is – if the Trump-backed candidate wins, it signals the strength of his mandate, but if the Democratic candidate wins, they'll have a point to rally behind.

Ron Mitori's new book, “” looks to the past and to the future as the U.S. position in the world evolves. His book starts off with stories of personal experiences under socialist regimes. One story, of Lore and her family begins: “Lore's father had been a successful inventor and businessman who owned a factory that produced household goods during WWII. He was also part of the underground movement that did not support Hitler. Lore had lived with her parents and two sisters in a section of Germany that became East Germany. She wanted to study and become an archaeologist as a child, but war can change your dreams. At the war's end, that area was administered brutally by the East German police, and a wall was built separating East from West Germany. As the oldest, Lore went to live for almost three years with her grandparents because they could get a food ration card if they had a child in the house.” Another story from : “Venezuela was the wealthiest country in South America. Pablo was born there, and his father was a very successful lawyer. Pablo's cousin fled from Communist Cuba ruled by Fidel Castro to Venezuela to be near him and his family and escape Communism. One year later in 1999, Hugo Chavez became the leader of Venezuela and began dismantling the capitalism that made the country wealthy with a thriving middle class. That cousin realized he had seen this “movie” before in Cuba and wanted no part in it. He decided to leave after only one year in Venezuela. He convinced Pablo to join him and come to the US, but Pablo's father mistakenly thought his status and wealth would continue, so he remained. Pablo now sends money to him every month to keep him from starving.”. Looking back and looking forward, Ron sees the U.S. at a cross roads. Which way will we go?

This week we continue a-milkin' that New York cow! Um, excuse us? We are walking here. Meagan and Lindy make a brave break from their cozy hotel room into the NYC winter night to watch Drag Race at a local bar/mystery tent and meet THE Thorgy Thor camping out in there! Somebody go back in time, call our elder care facility, and tell them to bring us a knit blanket! Have you ever experienced a winter chill? DM us Y/N @textmebackpodAnd next, we add a sexy twist to our age-old Segment P.U.B.E.S. This week we're calling it Segment P.U.B.E.S.: Crazy Lady Living in a Bag. Two guesses as to who the crazy ladies are. Won't you join us in our bag? Tbh we get a little real here because it's BAD out there, and the badness is all by design. (Check out Meagan's latest installment of SWAMP PERSON for more thoughts on “What are you allowed to be mad about?”)And ultimately we're gonna have to make room for more crazy ladies in our bag. We'll shove aside the orange peels, used tissues, old receipts, and empty hand sanitizer bottles to welcome in anyone who wants to fight alongside us for something better–and we're going to do our best to give them one of our crumbled cookies to welcome them in. If we're gonna turn the tides of fascism, it'll be with the help of misguided voters AND at least one annoying guy with a rinky-dink sign. We wanna know what you're mad about and what you're doing to resist! Email us at deartextmeback@gmail.com.Finally, a plea to the Text Me Backolytes: bring back the ghosts!
