Scalise on CNBC: "This bond downgrade is another serious blow that shows that America needs to get its fiscal house in order. We start to do that in this bill." NOTE: The bill is project to increase the debt by trillions of dollars, hence the pushback from the right. Via CRFB >

To make matters worse, importers are leaving inventory in China ports. Waiting for tariffs to be lowered. If they are lowered enough, there will be a crush to ship them here and transport them when they get here. That will drive transportation costs way up. = More inflation, post tariffs

Somehow, Trump has declared that we’re under numerous national emergencies from the Southern Border Emergency to the Energy Emergency, Trade Emergency, Public Lands Emergency, and Immigration Enforcement Emergency. Yet these crises seem so “urgent” that he finds time to golf every weekend. Odd.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

The Admin is continually missing the point in the Abrego Garcia case that it has committed a constitutional violation and is obligated to remedy it. It’s not some freestanding order re foreign policy.The courts’ presumption of the Exec good faith brings a reciprocal oblig to comply w/ lawful orders.

This is nonsense framing. Responding/defending vs unprovoked & illegal trade action is not “escalation”!! Sovereign countries have the right to defend themselves. The concern isn’t for a “global trade war.” 🇺🇸 is becoming concerned that the 🌎 will take collective action against 🇺🇸 unjust tariffs.
Screen capture of an illogical and nonsensical NBC news headline: Trump tariffs, EU seeks unity in their first strike back at Trump tariffs. If approved, the block would be joining China in Canada and imposing retaliatory tariffs on the US in an early escalation of what some fear will become global trade war.
