Your regular reminder that no tax cut in the history of tax cuts has ever paid for itself.
TAPPER: The tax cuts during the first Trump term didn't pay for themselves
BESSENT: Well, we also had something called covid
TAPPER: This is separate from that though

“It's hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of my help.
If I say I am Christian, but do these things, I'm a hypocrite."

Moving a detainee around to evade judicial review is classic authoritarian behavior.
The government claims Mahmoud Khalil was already in NJ on his way to Louisiana by the time his habeas petition was filed—an argument that the NY federal court lacks jurisdiction.
But Khalil's lawyer checked the ICE locator when she filed and even 4 hrs after, and he was listed as still being in NY.

Their faith lets them worship power while they’re offended by mercy. It’s not Christianity they’re practicing.

A 25% tariff on Canadian oil would have huge impacts to #gasprices in the Great Lakes, Midwest and Rockies, which are the major markets where refiners process Canadian oil. Refiners can not simply process lighter oil overnight. It would take huge investments and years. More US supply wouldn't help.

Worth reading this policy brief from PIIE.
Economic implications of revoking China's permanent normal trade relations (PNTR) status
The United States’ granting of permanent normal trade relations (PNTR) status, formerly known as most favored nation status, to China in 2000 resulted in a large expansion of bilateral trade. Concerns over Chinese trade practices and the impact of Chinese exports on US import-competing sectors have contributed to US political discontent and calls for the revocation of PNTR, including by former president Donald Trump in his reelection campaign and in the 2024 Republican Party Platform.
