one interesting thing about this is that no one on the “maybe tariffs are good” side of things has made an argument for why americans would be better off more low end manufacturing jobs versus making service jobs better paying and unionized
"I disagree with the Democrats who live in the framework that we just need cheap goods from China and Mexico, and their message is: 'Washing machines and avocados are going to get more expensive,'" @faiz.bsky.social tells @axios.com.

It feels like a lot of centrist pundits are rallying around Schumer because they feel the lesson of 2024 was that pushing out the ineffective older guy didn't work, instead of that they probably should've pushed him out earlier to get the new crew organized sooner.
