The craziness and chaos continues. Today Trump exempted the 125% tariffs on cellphones, computers and some other electronics made in China. There is no plan. Decisions are being made ad hoc. Trust in the US is plummeting. Senseless destruction. #uspol #tariffs #chaos

But of course he didn't really reverse course. There are still massive tariffs in place, and probably more coming, because no one has stopped him and they are a useful policy tool if you want to commit extortion.

However, it looks like the administration is so incompetent that tariffs aren't being collected or enforced at this time.

"U.S. shippers tell CNBC they have not been charged higher tariff rates on their containers, some of which came in as late as yesterday"

New Yorker cartoon in a conference room with a man pointing at a line plummeting on a graph, then finally ticking up a bit (looks like the major stock indices recently), and this text: “It was at this point, gentlemen, that the President decided it was his plan all along to reverse course.”

"Beyond Jesus’s physical appearance, when teaching young white boys and men about Jesus and also about the kind of masculinity Jesus evidences, we can lean into the actual Bible stories of Jesus’s life, death, and resurrection. Jesus’s first appearance in the Bible is as a newborn baby, completely reliant on the care of those around him, vulnerable and inarguably needy."

"I have never seen an anti-feminist backlash quite like the one we are living through. The embrace of misogyny is thorough and unapologetic. It transcends just about every aspect of this administration, from the president down through his followers.

"Susan Lanzoni, a historian of psychology and author of Empathy: A History, said by email that through all her research into the intellectual history of empathy, she had 'never seen empathy vilified in the way it has been in these current sources [on the American right]'."
