Something that seems to go utterly unreported on in all this madness:

All of the president's authority to impose tariffs is congressionally delegated and can be revoked by congress at any time. So if you don't agree with the trade war, call your reps and senators.

The down ballot matters.

Fidelity to the Constitution requires first and foremost an understanding that any budget is an act of compromise. It is a president's duty to execute that compromise. It is the duty of both the legislature and the courts to make them or remove them if they fail to do so. #orwell #statetheobvious
