The Federal Register just posted "Ending Certain Tariff Actions|, an EO reversing Trump's illegal and unconstitutional #TrumpTariffTax after #SCOTUS ruled against him. At the same time, it posted, "Continuing the Suspension of Duty-Free De Minimis Treatment for All Countries" #USPol

It crossed my mind that they reversed the #TrumpTariffTax to stop their base from bleeding and losing them due to the costs of the tariffs and not really for anything else.

In a press conference, Trump says members on SCOTUS are "very unpatriotic and disloyal" and have been "swayed by foreign interests."

We're two or three negative rulings away from Trump saying, 'feck it' the Supreme Court, nor Congress, has an Army to stop me. #USPol #TrumpTariffTax #SCOTUS #Tariff

US Supreme Court rules against Trump’s tariffs in 6-3 opinion, dealing blow to trade agenda ‱ Ohio Capital Journal

The U.S. Supreme Court dealt a major blow to President Trump’s trade agenda Friday, ruling the tariffs he issued as 'emergency powers' illegal. In a 6-3 decision, the court said Congress alone holds the power to tax in almost all circumstances.

Trump claims 2 billion a day is being received in tariffs (that Americans are paying). Why isn’t that money being used to pay mandatory federal employees?

Trump’s tariff revenue could help keep the government open. Why isn’t that happening?

Hundreds of thousands of federal government employees are being furloughed or working without pay during the ongoing government shutdown. Core functions, including many food and drug inspections, are suspended because Republicans and Democrats remain deadlocked on funding the government.

UGH. I just made a purchase for my home that I had put off for a year or so. Since my home insurance canceled us over it and my new insurance said I would get a big discount if we fixed the issue within 90-days, we went ahead today. A year ago, it was just under $1000. After Trump and his tariff's, it jumped to $1800. It was on sale for $1429. I'm glad it was on sale but I am still pissed that in 6 months time I am paying 40% more for it. Oh, shipping rates increased $55 too. It used to be free shipping. Now we see how much labor went up. It was going to be around $250. #Tariffs #TrumpTariffTax #USpol

“The Yale Budget Lab estimates that the price increases caused by Trump’s tariffs will cost the typical US household $2,400 in 2025. As a result of the tariffs, the budget lab says, apparel prices will soar 37% and shoe prices 39%. What Trump boasts as a win is a loss for millions of typical Americans.”

Trump is losing his foolish trade war. This will cost ordinary Americans greatly

Trump’s trade war has pushed up inflation, slashed US job gains, slowed economic growth and caused the manufacturing sector to sputter
