Billionaire investor Bill Ackman said that America was heading toward a self-inflicted “economic nuclear winter” as a result of U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff policy rollout.

Great editorial outlining how law firms and educational institutions can stand up to Trump's attack on the rule of law. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/06/o...
