There is no plan
Trump sent his cabinet to the Sunday shows to reassure, and they said the tariffs are permanent/being negotiated, strategic/across the board and will fix the trade deficit/manufacturing/national defense/toe fungus.
Collectively they made it clear there's no plan beyond one man's whims.

Every Cabinet member has different, contradictory talking points about supposed purpose of these tariffs.
Are they a negotiating tactic? Are they instead permanent, because we need them to raise revenue/boost US manufacturing?
Are they designed to return us to 1790s lifestyles & living standards?

Carney: The system of global trade anchored on the United States.. is over. Our old relationship of steadily deepening integration with the United States is over. The 80 year period when the United States embraced the mantle of economic leadership… is over.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

My YES vote is *not* an endorsement of this deeply flawed CR.
My YES vote is 💯 about refusing to shut our government down.
I refuse to punish working families and plunge millions of Americans into chaos.

I know this is going to sound naive or earnest, but I genuinely find myself shocked by how little people seem to be upset by the levels of corruption we're seeing. Is that the median voter assumes everyone is corrupt already? Or isn't actually getting stories about the corruption?
