Living to see another day

Over the next few years you are going to have to fight with everything you’ve got to retain your humanity. They will try to convince you to give up connecting with each other, to give up truly being alive. It will be the most important fight of your whole life

[Clue Heywood @ClueHeywood]

@scottlincicome @brahmresnik It’s an old school protection racket, pure and simple

"The costs of tariffs are also becoming clearer. Uncertainty is weighing on investment: half of business leaders surveyed by KPMG, an accounting firm, report low confidence in carrying out their investment plans." https://t.co/EGCHGQ1vxM

These immigrant founders of billion-dollar companies first came to the US as students.

A $100,000 fee on OPT would have lost us many of them.

Founders like these would be eligible for an O-1 today, after they've built their companies. But not when they were getting started.

"Eighteen months into Trump’s second term—and 6 months after federal agents seized 2020 election ballots in Fulton County, Georgia—the Trump administration has uncovered no evidence of widespread voter fraud...Trump is...setting up Thune as the fall guy."

“For the last 50-plus years, whenever there was an oil shock, the first thing the US president did was call Riyadh,” said @JasonBordoff at @ColumbiaUEnergy. “Maybe the place everyone needs to call now is Beijing. That’s a very powerful position to be in.” https://t.co/DCAfFoEGVt

[Tim Carney @TPCarney]

Trump is making a back door sovereign wealth fund, and nobody has considered the market and political consequences

"After a century of protectionism and zero competition, the American ship-building industry has atrophied to the point of irrelevance." 😯 https://t.co/C5WKlIjSuj #EndTheJonesAct

@BeenThereCap I took a very small riverboat tour through Berlin years ago, fun way to see the city and taste beers

[Zoe Tillman @ZoeTillman]

DEEP DIVE: The Trump administration's court losses are putting taxpayers on the hook for potentially millions in legal fees.

(plus, a $250K fee fight in the Kennedy Center's case against a musician who backed out after the board added Trump's name)

"The truth is that the U.S. farm sector is financially resilient and stable. There is no need for an additional massive bailout." https://t.co/1qSqlVUQfQ

[Scott Lincicome @scottlincicome]

Over the last 18 months, President Trump has abused nearly every tariff statute on the books, yet the Senate is about to give him vague & sweeping new tariff powers?

In today's @PostOpinions, @clark_packard & I suggest Congress NOT do that.

Seriously. https://t.co/EEqDNlodAK

[Scott Lincicome @scottlincicome]

My latest @opinion column examines how Trump's chaotic governing style - re tariffs/trade, foreign policy, personnel, and more - is costing the US economy tens of billions of dollars in delayed/foregone economic activity: https://t.co/C8bHxWYAKw (🎁)

[Cato Trade @CatoTrade]

The resulting tariff framework has created near-parity between imports from China and other countries, undermining the popular idea that China—as opposed to Trump’s love of tariffs—has driven the president’s protectionist policies.

[Scott Lincicome @scottlincicome]

The amount of resources (op-eds, ads, lobbying, PR, etc) the Jones Act lobby and their allies have spent fighting a temporary, product- limited WAIVER of the law is an incredible lesson in rent-seeking, politics, and the importance of limited government & free markets.

[Dan McLaughlin @baseballcrank]

This stuff is one of the reasons why the Trump-Vance term has gone much worse than Trump-Pence.

[Scott Lincicome @scottlincicome]

ICYMI: the invisible costs of US government chaos are real and definitely NOT spectacular

Why train students and then make it too expensive for them to stay?

Being the top destination for global talent is America's superpower.

We should be making it easier for scientists to stay after grad school.

[Scott Lincicome @scottlincicome]

“Another way of saying it is simply that we’re replacing the free market with the market for Trump’s affections.”

Must read scoop from the WSJ: https://t.co/LyWHPMQxC1
