Tariffs are imposed on goods, not services, so let's check in on that breakdown.
Since "Liberation Day":
- Goods-producing sector has shed -90,000 jobs
- Private services have added +391,000 jobs
(The government sector has also shed a further -207k jobs.)

I’ve heard from multiple friends today about daycares being raided and parents being ripped out of cars (in one case with a child left behind in the backseat). Grim times here.
The situation in Minneapolis is insane: seemingly many large convoys of heavily armed masked men, blocking off streets at random, grabbing people nearly at random, racing around the city with no discernible plan or aim. Under attack by our own government the day after it killed someone

First, they lied about what we saw on video when ICE killed Renee Good.
Now, they're politicizing the investigation by freezing out Minnesota authorities, so the full truth may never see the light of day.
They are breaking our country. We must continue demanding accountability.

ICE++ the CBP, and judging from the patches — BORTAC.
BORTAC is a counterterrorism tactical unit of CBP.
