Sometimes you feel like a tariff, sometimes you don’t. I’ll help you make sense of where and why tariffs work, and when they definitely don’t. #Velshi

Trump’s tariffs were designed to bring manufacturing jobs back to the US, but without a clear policy, it is unclear how the US will once again become a thriving industrial hub. Yale’s @jeffsonnenfeld.bsky.social & former USTR top negotiator Nicole Bivens Collinson join me at 11A ET on #Velshi.

Yesterday Trump announced the latest law firms that have capitulated to his lawlessness and political blackmail. Shame on them. Firms that are buckling to Trump’s bullying are paving a short road to tyranny.

BREAKING: Famed Economist Paul Krugman just told Ari Melber: "This Tariff pause is [still] a tariff rate that is higher overall than Smooth-Hawley. This is a bigger shock to the economy than any trade policy in any country’s history."

‘Fawning’ is a response where a person gives a servile display of exaggerated flattery in order to gain favor or advantage. AKA: ass-kisser, bootlicker, toady, suck-up brown-noser, etc.

FUTURE: “So, yeah, long story short, I pivoted from studying novel pathogen transmission in modern urban environments to mining lithium. Is it a good application of my 8 years of post-secondary education and does it pay enough to cover my bills? No. But I’m told I’m much more productive now!”

April 12, 1945: death of FDR. Churchill: "His love of his own country, his respect for its constitution...were evident, added to these were the beatings of that generous heart which was always stirred to anger and to action by spectacles of aggression and oppression by the strong against the weak."

Why should you be concerned about Trump “accidentally” deporting people who have zero criminal record? Because if he can do it to them — and ignore judges when they tell him to stop — he can do it to anyone he wants.
