Description

Donald Trump ran for president promising to make Americans richer and bring prices down, starting on day one. So far, that's not panning out. 

The cost of the ICE and troop deployments to US cities and around the globe has ballooned into the billions. Despite promising it would bring in money to the US, Trump's tariffs have cost Americans billions of dollars out of their own pockets. So have the president's pet projects like his Board of Peace, a new HHS led global health agency and a "Golden Dome" missile plan. 

Grant breaks all of it down and brings receipts. 

MANTRA MATCHA

If coffee makes you alert and deeply unwell, it might be time to switch it up.

Mantra Matcha offers ceremonial-grade matcha sourced from a private hillside farm in Uji, Japan. It’s smooth, naturally sweet, and delivers calm, focused energy—no jitters, no crash.

Why we like it:

• 137x more antioxidants than regular green tea
• Supports metabolism, focus, and overall wellness
• Six superfood-infused flavors (Banana Cacao, Strawberry Lemon, Cinnamon Goji Berry, and more)
• Every box helps provide a meal to a child in need through No Kid Hungry

Less chaos. More clarity. Two things we could all use right now.
