"President Donald Trump's 'reciprocal' tariffs on dozens of countries took effect on Wednesday, including massive 104% duties on Chinese goods, deepening his global trade war...

"Trump's punishing tariffs have shaken a global trading order that has persisted for decades, raised fears of recession and driven worldwide stocks sharply downward.

"The S&P 500 has shed nearly $6 trillion in value since Trump unveiled the tariffs a week ago, the deepest four-day loss since the benchmark's creation in the 1950s."

Under the terms of the deal, a redacted version of which was submitted in the case, #ICE ofcls can ask the #IRS for info about people who have been ordered to leave the US—or whom they are investigating.

Federal #law tightly controls #taxpayer info, protecting home addresses, earnings & other data from disclosure even to other agencies in the govt. IRS ofcls have for weeks warned that #Trump’s plan to use the IRS to help w/ #deportations could be #illegal.

Andrew Roth at The Guardian:

"It’s unlikely that anyone will be punished. Donald Trump has told his aides that he doesn’t want to give the Atlantic a scalp, and vice-president JD Vance responded forcefully during a trip to Greenland on Friday: “If you think you’re going to force the president of the United States to fire anybody you’ve got another think coming … I’m the vice-president saying it here on Friday: we are standing behind our entire national security team.”

"Trump is to introduce tariffs this week that will probably dominate the news agenda for weeks. And his deputies are out on cable news every day, pushing back at the media for covering the scandal and suggesting that Goldberg somehow sneaked his way into the chat rather than being added directly by Waltz, the national security adviser."

If Jeffrey Goldberg had not been invited to take part in the "chat" you can be certain we never would have heard a word about it.

Two ... no make it THREE questions come to mind.

How many other #asinine and/or #illegal things have #Republicans
done?

Are they capable of doing ANYTHING that's NOT asinine and/or illegal?

What level of #trust should be given to ANY member, and I mean ANY member of the #GOP?

Republicans are

“The #Signal #leak was never about an #app. It was a diagnostic stain, exposing the rot festering beneath the Mythic US’s #veneer of #democracy and #law. The fleeting obsession with #encryption #protocols and personnel errors encapsulated the farce: a society expertly trained by its #distraction #machine to fixate on trivialities while the Operational US – the militarist-oligarchic core – wages #illegal #wars with #psychopathic #impunity”
