Tariffs Just Went From 10% to ‘Are You Kidding Me?’ Energy
Just when you thought redistricting drama couldn’t get any spicier, US Customs and Border Protection dropped tariffs ranging wildly from 10% to 50% starting at 12:01am EDT. This isn’t your grandma’s trade policy—Trump’s final tariff rates came after weeks of 'frantic negotiations' where Brazil and India weren’t having any of it. Leaders of these countries 'vowed not to be cowed' by the full-on Trump showbiz bargaining antics. Meanwhile, domestic politics are simmering as the governor casually notes that redistricting 'looks like it’s going to happen across many Republican states,' because why not add chaos to cruelty?
