The Trump Tariffs are already causing damage, with as shipments in American ports beginning to dry up. This will cause higher costs and scarcer goods, with ripple effects comparable to the early-pandemic supply chain shocks of 2020. Let’s dig a little bit into how we can get through what’s coming at a day-to-day level.
Read MoreTrump May Invoke the 1807 Insurrection Act
On his first day in office last January, wannabe king Trump declared a national emergency on our southern border granting him broad powers to repel a non-existent "invasion." (In actual fact, the number of illegal border crossings is at an historic low.) Trump's declaration also gave the departments of Defense and Homeland Security 90 days to produce a report recommending that he invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807.
That report has now come due. Trump could invoke the Insurrection Act at any moment.

We were more than a little bit surprised to see Trump’s new attorney general, Pam Bondi, take action to defund local police this week, as part of the Administration’s ideological crusade against sanctuary cities like San Francisco. This isn’t quite what defunding proponents wanted, and we certainly won’t hail her as a racial-justice hero for an action motivated by anti-immigrant ideology.
