To make matters worse, importers are leaving inventory in China ports. Waiting for tariffs to be lowered. If they are lowered enough, there will be a crush to ship them here and transport them when they get here. That will drive transportation costs way up. = More inflation, post tariffs
That means empty shelves, an economic slowdown, and layoffs, actually.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Would be really fun if at the end of RFK Jr.'s Autism Fact Finding Mission (he will find the cause of all autism personally in six months) he blames something very different than vaccines. JPEG files cause autism, we gotta get rid of the JPEGs.

Hey, do you know what you call a guy who never admits a mistake, who becomes President of the United States by never admitting a mistake, who then convinces his entire presidential administration to never admit—let alone correct—any mistake, leading to innocents getting life sentences?
A sociopath.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration.
So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives.
So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Why the metaphor of "shooting the moon" in the game of Hearts is a good explanation of what Trump and the oligarchs are doing right now.
Normal times are factional, and that's what the person shooting the moon counts on. They can advance their interest because everyone is trying to avoid getting hit personally. But when it dawns on you they are shooting the moon you've got to suspend normal play and unite.

He’s tanking the economy, destroying our standing in the world, depriving women and LGBTQ communities of their fundamental rights, attacking the environment, disappearing legal immigrants, gutting Veteran’s benefits and Social Security. And he’s making you pay for his golf trips while he’s at it.

This is more important than you realize. Bluesky doesn’t downgrade links. Which means news sites will get more traffic from here than other sites.
Which gives them economic reasons to post here first.

Donald Trump has signed an executive order shutting down the Department of Education (DOE), which is the single largest funding source for education in America.
No President can undo by executive order what Congress has done by statute.
