A Trump strength is his years spent exploiting weaknesses in financial, political and legal systems. One bedrock of American freedom was 'no taxation without representation.' On tariffs Trump realized GOP lawmakers would forfeit their Constitutional duty. constitution.congress.gov/browse/artic...

I happen to know that some powerful media orgs were unhappy that AP filed suit; they thought the conflict with the White House would blow over on its own and that AP risked making bad law. The AP's leadership deserves a lot of credit for having proceeded as it did. apnews.com/article/trum...

There is no plan.

A lot of journalists portraying what's happening to the American economy right now as something understandable and rational. Heavy use of the words "change" and "plan." But read far enough down in their stories and their sources are using terms like "chaos" and "nuclear winter."

Digging through CDC drug overdose data. Remarkable how much of this is a crisis of white middle age men. There are dangerous racial and ethnic vulnerabilities, and kids are dying. But the biggest single group of people still being lost as deaths decline are white men age 35-65.

I talk with @npr.org's Scot Simon Saturday morning about Trump's order closing a loophole that allowed Americans to shop tax-free directly from Chinese retailers. This new tax has bipartisan support but economists say low-income shoppers will pay $10 billion more each year for goods.

Question: Where would the labor force come from to run a bunch of new American factories and textile mills? Already there are roughly 7.6 million unfilled positions in the US and only 5.6 million unemployed workers who want jobs. The US is aging. We are deporting young workers🤔
