Manufacturing iPhones in the U.S. could increase prices by 90%, raising the price of an iPhone 16 Pro from $1,199 to approximately $2,278.

Apple won’t pay the cost of Trump’s threatened tariffs — consumers will be forced to.

That’s how tariffs work, no matter what Trump says.

WATCH— @jessicatarlov.bsky.social : “Why are you making fun of smart people that calculate things?”

Jessica points out Trump is making it seem like he paused all the tariffs but the Yale budget lab says those remaining will cost each 🇺🇸 household $4400, the highest tariff rate since 1909.

Who benefits from an economic crisis? Trump does. He declares an economic emergency—then manufactures one—which allows him to expand his power. Under the National Emergencies Act (NEA), the president can unlock more than 120 special statutory powers. No wonder he was just out golfing—crisis pays.

NEW: @aclu.org obtained ICE's "Alien Enemies Act Validation Guide," confirming all it takes to be sent to rot in prison in El Salvador is being Venezuelan and 1) having a tattoo an ICE officer says is a "gang tattoo" and 2) displaying "logos," "symbols" or clothes an ICE officer says are gang signs.

Gosh. If only there were an historical analogue we could study to learn about the horrors of rounding people up without due process and sending them to torture camps in other countries.

My youngest rescue pup turned 11 yesterday and this sweet woman at the dog store insisted he needed his name on his pup cake. She leaves this week to see her daughter whom she hadn’t seen in six years and all I keep doing is obsessing she won’t be allowed back in to our country. 🥺
