Just cited Trump v. Barbara in my current draft and Justice Jackson's concurrence. My only thought is this: citizenship is an incompletely theorized agreement. There's a few things where there's broad consensus, and then others where there isn't.

Final #SCOTUS ruling is birthright citizenship. For a 6-3 majority (Thomas, Alito & Gorsuch, dissenting), Chief Justice Roberts *strikes down* President Trump's executive order purporting to limit which individuals born in the United States would automatically be US citizens; preserves status quo:

International students will stop coming to American universities if their visas are going to be at risk. This will make our intellectual community poorer and also make tuition more expensive for domestic students.

I mean, yes, this is bad, but also, like ... Baserates matter. For most of the market's history, a 2000 point drop would have been like it just got evaporated. Absolute drops aren't the right metric here. (My loyalty to baserates transcends any sort of partisan affiliation.)

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Two-thirds of both houses of Congress could undo this whenever they want by passing a bill over Trump's veto taking all power to set tariff rates away from him. Tariffs are set by law. The Constitution gives the president no power over tariffs--only our current laws do that.

What's absolutely wild about this is the way they've manufactured a global financial crisis for no reason at all. This isn't 2007-08, where it was a bubble bursting. This is taking a relatively thriving economy and deliberately destroying it in the first three months of your presidency.

To put this in actionable terms: everyone with a connection to any college or university (alum, parent, student, faculty, works there) should send a letter to their president's office urging them to issue a statement calling for due process for student detentions. Do it now! #DueProcessForAll

Every single university president should be asked, in public, why they are not speaking out this way to support all the students currently detained without due process, and all those terrified that they will be next, on every campus in this country. Yes, including Columbia's acting president.

hi, no thanks @hmmvryintrstng.bsky.social · 02/04/2025

james surowiecki has discovered where the completely fabricated trump tariff rate has come from for each country "...for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us."

Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us.

So we have a $17.9 billion trade deficit with Indonesia. Its exports to us are $28 billion. $17.9/$28 = 64%, which Trump claims is the tariff rate Indonesia charges us. What extraordinary nonsense this is.

Am I right that that when COVID supply chain issues were available as an excuse to raise prices, those increases were quite sticky? So, even if these tariffs are somehow reversed, we may be stuck with price hikes for good?

One big point amid all the headlines: I was texting with press secretary Karoline Leavitt during the event and she confirms that the 34 percent tariff on China is ON TOP of the previous 20 percent. So that means the rate on China will be *54* percent when these tariffs take effect.
