Capital Economics: if today's announcements are implemented, the effective US tariff rate will shoot straight past the Smoot-Hawley levels of the 1930s.
"The effective tariff rate on all imports will rise from 2.3% last year to around 26%, leaving it at a 131-year high"

This, right here, is why tariffs cause depressions.
My husband and I run a game store and after all the tariff announcements, he decided to write out kind of a "behind the scenes" of how we spend and spill it out for people who don't understand. He's had so many reactions and shares I wanted to bring it here, too.

This is part of what’s so insane. As they talk about re-shoring and manufacturing they are actively trying to destroy an entire us manufacturing industry that already exists.
Billions of dollars in clean energy projects have been canceled since Donald Trump took office again — leaving thousands of jobs and the shift to clean energy in doubt.
A stunning number of electric vehicle, battery factories are being canceled

This is worth 2.5 minutes of your time. DHS Deputy Secretary Troy Edgar unwittingly makes the case that they have nothing on Mahmoud Khalil.
And — perhaps wittingly — he leaves the impression that if they can come for Khalil they can come for *any* noncitizen who opens their mouth.

The mainstream liberal media, led by the New York Times, normalized Trump for months - starting in late Spring. Shameful. They’ve continued to do so lost-election. Very much doubt that they have any regrets. The WaPo and LATimes with their oligarch owners are no better.
Remember when Trump called for "termination" of the Constitution in 2022?
The New York Times played it on Page 13.
Now that Trump's "termination" is happening, I wonder if the Times' editors have any regrets for years of normalization and "both sides" framing that comforted the would-be dictator.
