Musk Set to Get Access to Top-Secret U.S. Plan for Potential War With China

This is a good NPR piece on the lies on which Trump's tariff attack are based.
1) Far fewer deaths than Trump and @karolineleavitt claimed

3) Biden already made progress on reversing it
Every tariff story should start by debunking lies
