I joined Ali Velshi of MSNBC this morning and Ali’s first question was about the President’s jarring answer “I don’t know” to the question “Don’t you need to uphold the Constitution of the United States as president?”

This is a shockingly mistaken understanding of due process by Stephen Miller. It is likely this misunderstanding that is informing the President’s misunderstanding.

Markets want certainty, stability, and predictability. That’s how businesses plan, hire, and grow. What they don’t want is an unstable narcissist playing economic roulette on social media. Don’t be fooled, tariffs are still much higher on the world than before he was inaugurated.

Foreign leaders are indeed calling to White House to figure out how to get tariffs removed, but the White House is not responding to the calls. And meanwhile they have little idea what to even offer Trump as "concessions" because he has no idea what he wants www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Since SCOTUS (wrongly) relegated due process to habeas petitions (I told you it was a bad ruling), lawyers now have to sue on behalf of individuals in specific districts instead of those subject to deportation nationwide. And SCOTUS decided that with scant briefing and zero argument.

At DOJ, we used to call these “for profit prisons” and when BOP or a state used them, those inmates were still considered to be in the custody of that prison system for relevant legal purposes. There is no reason El Salvadoran terror prison should be any different.

What some people aren’t factoring into their analysis is the reality that companies were buying tons of inventory to beat the tariffs. That’s cash taken from being able to invest or hire. In fact the probably cut costs and jobs as a result. #econsky

It's outrageous that they gave Trump the powers trusted to them in the Constitution, even if just on an "emergency wink-wink basis" It's unconscionable that they're now proposing a way to block themselves from taking their rightful powers back.

FT reports, possibly covered elsewhere too, that Apple shipped ten planes worth of iPhones from China to the US last week, to avoid tariffs. That's somewhere between 200,000 and 450,000 devices per plane.

Every House Republican who votes for today's rule is voting for Trump's tariffs. They're voting to surrender congressional authority and their own power to stop Trump. A vote for this rule is a vote to wreck our economy.

This is big: House Republicans tucked language into the budget res “rule” that bans the House from voting to terminate Trump’s emergency declaration used to impose tariffs. TL;DR lawmakers who vote for this are officially giving up their power to revoke his tariffs until October.
