Business leaders and industry groups are waiting for clarity and follow-up from the Trump administration on promises it made during the China summit earlier this month, according to new reporting. The White House assured that a "board of trade" would help relieve Chinese and American tariffs, but it's still "ironing" out the plan, "a signal the clarity industry is searching for is unlikely to come all at once," Politico reported. Ed Brzytwa, an executive for the Consumer Technology Association, said industry groups don't know what kind of products will see reduced tariffs. U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer "hasn't been clear about it, neither have the Chinese," he told Politico. Trump has "three and a half months to get this thing up and running," Wendy Cutler, a former senior U.S. trade negotiator, told Politico. She was looking ahead to Chinese leader Xi Jinping's upcoming visit to Washington in September. "There will be pressure to show progress, given how few deliverables came out of this last summit meeting," Cutler said. An anonymous White House official told Politico, "further details to come" on the plans that came out of the summit. "The administration looks forward to engaging more with the business community on this historic policy that reflects our commitment to better manage trade between the U.S. and China," the official said, according to Politico.
Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-CO) shot down the idea of compensating her state's most controversial election denier, according to a new report. Tina Peters is set to be released from prison on Monday after Democratic Gov. Jared Polis commuted her sentence. According to reporting by CBS News, Boebert doesn't think that Peters should be able to tap into Trump's $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund, which critics worry could pay January 6 rioters. "I would automatically come out and say that this should be funds for people who were wronged by the federal government," Boebert explained, noting that Peters was imprisoned for state charges. "The state probably should rectify anything that they've done with their citizens."Peters, a former county clerk, was convicted in 2024 for tampering with election equipment. She was sentenced to nine years in prison, but is getting out in fewer than two years after pressure from Trump for her release by the state's governor.
Joe Walsh, the former Republican congressman turned Trump critic, says Georgia Lt. Gov. Burt Jones may have just handed Democrats the opening they needed to flip the governor's office after a recording surfaced of Jones saying he supports banning all abortions.In what appears to be a 2022 GOP debate, Jones is seen agreeing with others that abortion should be banned entirely, as opposed to endorsing a six-week heartbeat bill."Wow, this'll get Georgia Democrats licking their chops," Walsh wrote on X, reacting to the tape of Jones, who is considered the leading GOP candidate for governor. "Here's Lt. Gov Burt Jones, the leading GOP candidate for Governor, on tape saying he's for banning all abortions."Walsh, who has made a point of calling out Republicans he believes are out of step with the broader electorate, was blunt about the political damage. "That ain't gonna play well," he wrote. "It won't play well with Georgia voters at all. This is how Georgia goes blue."Georgia has become one of the most competitive states in the country over the past several election cycles, with Democrats carrying it at the presidential level in 2020 and winning two Senate seats. Abortion has been a driving issue for Democrats since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, helping the party outperform expectations in multiple cycles.Jones has not yet responded publicly to the resurfaced remarks. His position, if it becomes central to the governor's race, would put him well to the right of most Georgia voters on an issue that has repeatedly proven costly for Republican candidates in competitive states.

Black New York residents have some provocative thoughts on the issue of reparations as compensation for slavery and other 'racial injustices.' Back in December 2023, New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed a bill that established a "community commission to study the history of slavery in New York state" to examine "various forms of reparations." Less than a year later, an emboldened NYC council passed slavery reparations legislation to 'yield material solutions' from US history.
