Nothing about Vance himself changed. He was always an empty suit, so he just says whatever seems expedient in the moment, and didn't mean a damned word of it.

By a 7-4 vote, the full Federal Circuit has *affirmed* a lower-court ruling holding that many of President Trump’s tariffs exceed his statutory authority. The ruling won’t go into effect until October 14, though—which gives the Trump administration plenty of time to seek intervention from #SCOTUS:

It's an apt description if used in the pejorative (I know Nutlick meant it as a compliment, but nothing he says has any meaning.) "Cryptocurrency" is a concept dreamed up to convince people that imaginary value in some magic number is real. The Cryptopresident has imaginary intelligence & skills.

The "restricting access" bugaboo is somewhere between fear-mongering and a lie. 1st-world national health systems restrict access less than US for-profit insurers. US insurers will refuse lifesaving care, if only as an accident of their business model of refuse, delay, reconsider, refuse, etc. etc.
