@chrismurphyct.bsky.social is spot-on here as to the true goal of these tariffs. Apple is just one example of how it works. They didn't suck up enough. If they do, they can (maybe!) get tariff relief. But at what price to their brand? They could easily go the way of Tesla.

The tariffs are Trump’s tool to erode that independence. Now, one by one, every industry or company will need to pledge loyalty to Trump in order to get sanctions relief.

It's heartbreaking and disgusting watching all the government destruction happening now, but Booker is raising awareness and the bar for pushing back against them.

Watch him!

The cuts to health and human services...canceling programs that provide Alzheimer's research and support families that are actively caring for their loved ones with Alzheimer's.
