This is strange. I was told the foreign countries pay the tariffs, so why would this help in the election?

The U.S. is expected to remove 50% tariffs on some Canadian products in a bid to help Maine Sen. Susan Collins and other Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections https://t.co/70Az1doZCi via @WSJ

NEW: Mike Collins previously suggested hanging U.S. military and political leaders from a helicopter and joked about pushing Pelosi out of a plane. We also uncovered another antisemitic post from a business recently launched by his son-in-law. https://t.co/Ab7qhzYQnW

SCOOP: The State Dept has started asking career diplomats up for promotion if they voted for Trump in 16, 20, 24.

Federal law prohibits politically based hiring for career staff.

State tells @washingtonsun it's screening for "fidelity" and execution of the president's vision👇

It's ranked-choice voting, the design most robust to this scheme. Voters can just vote for all the Dan Sullivans and zero Mary Peltolas

I mean, if Starshield can be throttled in Ukraine, can it also be throttled in the Persian Gulf or around Taiwan if Musk disagrees with this or that military operation? The mystery of the last week certainly raises the question.

This is the standard way to score tax policy. You score the law as written (in this case a one-time wealth tax) and the behavioral consequences from that law (people worried it will last moving).

There are arguments against that approach. But is not “highly inappropriate” or “dishonest” to do what JCT or any other neutral body would do.
