A U.S. federal court on Wednesday blocked President Donald Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs from going into effect, ruling that the president overstepped his authority by imposing across-the-board duties on imports from nations that sell more to the United States than they buy.

    Eh, with USAID gone and SNAP being gutted, a lot of the farmers are going to go bankrupt. With the Medicaid cuts, a lot of the rural hospitals (the main employers in rural areas) are going to go bankrupt. And if the “big beautiful bill” doesn’t pass, all social security and medicare payments will stop until something passes. A lot of bad things will happen to the “wrong rural people”.

    Also, Trump has another law he can use to make tariffs with, and it will be another 6 months before the court rules on that.
