"...we’re turning into a nation where policies are ill-considered and constantly changing, and business success depends not on what you know but on who you know and whether you pay them off." This is what I mean when I say Trump's plan is working exactly as planned.

Yesterday RFK Jr said we will know the causes of autism by September then eliminate the contaminants (or something). Today is the day you pitch local media to say: here’s what we know, it’s complicated, RFK Jr is lying. File by Monday morning.

Companies struck by Donald Trump’s trade levies will likely pass the hit along to consumers—and some will want to clearly point the finger at who is to blame.

Remember Trump is using emergency legislation for the tariffs. So the measures that were urgent and necessary to meet that emergency have now suddenly become non-urgent and unnecessary. If US congress and courts properly held president to account for misuse of emergency powers, this would matter.
