Got to rant and reflect with @mollyjongfast.bsky.social about everything that’s been happening lately: Tariff madness, protests, what is and isn’t different than in the first Trump term, and what it all adds up to as we are nearing the three-month mark of the Trumpist regime:

Kirkland & Ellis, Allen Overy Shearman Sterling, Simpson Thatcher, and Latham & Watkins should be viewed as administration shills now. It would be a mistake to engage them in any matter in which your interests and positions are not congruent with this administration’s.

This week the system worked. Donald Trump blinked. The unwinding is still just beginning. It will be painful and tumultuous. A grief-filled fight lies ahead over whether his trade actions have even been legal and constitutional.

The whole tariff thing is just a way for Trump and his billionaire buddies to tank the market to buy low and get more rich. It has nothing to do with helping Americans.

This is driving me crazy too. Not long ago 10% universal tariffs were considered the worst-case scenario, something even Trump wasn’t crazy enough to impose. Now have those PLUS 125% tariffs on China. Together, these raise raise inflation by about as much as original “Liberation Day” tariffs did!

Another huge breakthrough in our understanding of how the administration has implemented the Alien Enemies Act. I think it’s worth underlining that the press has consistently moved this story forward and has done so much to advance what we know.

The media response to Trump’s tariff flip flop has been abysmal. Most Americans care less about the spin and more about the fact that his 10% across the board tariff will still cost families an average of $2,600 more annually.
