Hey Trump, why don't you just print more money to cover the whole the tariffs thing left, and maybe keep some for yourself too, yeah?
Just keep doing racisms and being a cunt to women and they'll let you do that....

The challengers argued the “emergency powers” #law doesn’t even mention #tariffs & Trump’s use of it fails several legal tests, including one that doomed President Joe Biden’s $500 billion student loan forgiveness program.
The economic impact of Trump’s tariffs has been estimated at some $3 trillion over the next decade, acc/to the #CBO.

#Treasury has collected >$133 billion from the #import #taxes #Trump imposed under the emergency powers law, federal data from December says. Many companies, including the big-box warehouse chain Costco, have already lined up in court to demand #refunds.

#Trump set what he called “reciprocal” #tariffs on most countries in April 2025 to address #trade #deficits that he declared a “national emergency”. Those came after he imposed extra #duties on #Canada, #China & #Mexico, ostensibly to address a “drug trafficking” “emergency”.
A series of lawsuits followed, including a case from a dozen largely Democratic-leaning #states & others from small #businesses selling everything from plumbing supplies to educational toys to women’s cycling apparel.

The #tariffs decision doesn’t stop #Trump from imposing duties under other #laws. While those have more limitations on the speed & severity of Trump’s actions, top admin ofcls have said they expect to keep the tariff framework in place under “other authorities”.

The #Constitution gives #Congress the #power to levy #tariffs. But the #Trump administration argued that a 1977 #law allowing the president to regulate importation during “emergencies” also allows him to set tariffs. Other presidents have used the law dozens of times to impose #sanctions, but Trump was the first president to invoke it for #import #taxes.

Today in Labor History February 20, 1917: Thousands of women marched to City Hall in New York to demand relief from high wartime food prices. Inflation had wiped out wage gains made by workers prior to the war, leading to a high level of working-class protest. The protest, which began on February 19, and which continued until February 24, were led by Ida Harris, president of the socialist Mothers Vigilance Committee, and Marie Ganz, an anarchist labor organizer. On February 22, the women attacked the city's poultry markets, assaulting customers and destroying chickens. And on February 24, thousands marched on Madison Square. By early March, the city began producing thousands of pounds of low-cost produce and wholesalers lowered prices.

Republicans will deny this like they deny climate change, election results, the January 6th insurrection, Covid, the moon landing and the Earth being round.
