Tariff revenue is operating like ship money did for Charles I, when he tried to rule England without Parliament. Like the US, only the legislature could legitimately tax the people, but Charles used innovative abuses of his powers to raise & spend money as he wanted

(He later lost his crown & head)

“.. there is the question of how the bond market will react to tariff revenue being redirected away from lowering the deficit.”

I am not a constitutional scholar but I am pretty sure “the president my personally levy taxes and choose what they fund” is not in fact what the founders intended

How much of the vote gets shaved because of this www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...
Nearly 20% of younger voters won’t vote for a woman as president, new poll finds
Most voters want to elect more women, but sexist double standards emerge when picturing them as president

“The current AI boom would simply be impossible if tech companies had to pay the same tariffs that car manufacturers or homebuilders currently face.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

The New York Times doesn't tell you why the alleged murderer said he sent pizzas to the victim's house just before he ran down the girl and her best friend. He said on video that he was getting revenge for social media comments about death of Charlie Kirk.

According to eyewitnesses, armed ICE agents dragged kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied them and put them in rented vans while raiding an * entire apartment building* on the South Side of Chicago.

“Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers…’It was heartbreaking to watch…seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.’”
