Jessica: Before this deal, we essentially were paying 1% on imports with the EU. 15% is more than 1%. I wish Gasparino was sitting here to explain to Jesse how tariffs work because it is a tax on the consumer.

At some point, if control of a house of Congress changes, opponents of this WH’s lawlessness might have to confront it with something like a Westminster-style cutoff of supply — a defunding of the operations of Executive Office of the President specifically.
It's not a "funding freeze" or "hold." It's an unlawful seizure of federal funds and it's categorically unconstitutional.
