The relative silence makes me wonder if something is being planned or that there is some strategy in place about how to deal with all these. So far it has seemed like a litigation based one.

Politicians often frame #tariffs like those Trump proposed as punishment for other countries, but they hit Americans hardestβraising grocery bills and disrupting businesses. An economics professor explains: https://buff.ly/3Q3y0Lm (Bedassa Tadesse, University of Minnesota Duluth)

USPS Halts All Packages From China, Sending the Ecommerce Industry Into Chaos
As part of new tariffs on Chinese imports, President Donald Trump eliminated an exemption for small packages, vastly increasing the amount of parcels US Customs and Border Protection needs to inspect.
NEW: The USPS has abruptly stopped accepting all packages from Hong Kong and China until further notice. The move comes after China imposed retaliatory tariffs on US imports, in response to President Trumpβs executive order to increase tariffs on China.

That said, we have a few structural conditions helping us out with democratic resilience: independent but publicly funded media, higher levels of dem trust, better public ed (though certainly not perfect) than the US. /2

There goes academic freedom. The academe is a historic physical and ideational space for dissent and discourse. America is in trouble! Why is the resistance, the opposition, the media?! what on earth is going on? The rest of us watch and wonder
