listen sometimes one simply has to shamelessly listen loudly to the shameful emo music of their youth ok??
All of which to say, today’s news on rescission could be the beginning of what a pretty significant battle over the power of the purse, and the extent to which Congress can or will assert itself
Later, I wrote at length about the GAO, which at the time, hired legal counsel to advise it in the event it needed to go to court against the administration, which was actively looking to block and undercut congressional watchdogs www.nytimes.com/2025/07/22/u...
Back in June, I wrote about how the WH was laying the groundwork for its use of the “pocket rescission,” which you can see here for a fuller look at the legal issues at the heart of the matter www.nytimes.com/2025/06/17/u...

Today, the U.S. doubled tariffs on India. Soon, it'll end an exemption that helps Americans import stuff bought online without incurring tariffs. And later, tariffs are coming on chips and furniture and more. So here's the latest version of our big tracker + map: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Lutnick has been defensive on CNBC this morning, amid questions that Trump is looking to take stakes in companies. Distilling his view, the Trump doctrine now is that they expect firms that want to do something that's "not allowed" -- or those getting substantial federal aid -- to pay something back

NEW: After U.S. takes stake in Intel, Trump signals the WH could pursue similar investments in other companies. That kind of intervention in private business, which could be risky, is also a radical departure for a party that has preached free markets www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/u...

So much for foreigners paying tariffs. If they did PPI would be falling. Wholesale prices up 3.3% from a year ago & 3.7% in the core. The temperature is definitely rising in the core. This implies a hot PCE reading lies ahead.

U.S. Ethics Agency Warns Bessent Over Conflicts of Interest www.nytimes.com/2025/08/13/u...
Treasury Secretary Bessent acknowledged as much in an interview on Fox biz this week, saying at one point that the U.S. had collected so much in tariff revenue that it would be hard for SCOTUS to rule against them. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/13/u...
Many fiscal experts say that, no, the U.S. would not face the sort of financial crisis that Mr. Trump's aides predict. And trade experts expressed a belief that the goal, all along, was to implement as much as possible before the court could rule, knowing it would be hard to undo
NEW: To defend the legality of his tariffs, Trump and his top lawyers have trotted out a new argument in court: They say a verdict against them, jeopardizing tariff revenue, would inflict massive economic damage akin to a depression. (Economists say that's unlikely.) www.nytimes.com/2025/08/13/u...

ok im taking my ass to bed now bye
Here's our newly updated guide to the president's newly updated tariffs, in charts and maps, hot off the presses www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
Trump signed some executive orders and spoke with reporters and said not one word about the massive tariffs supposedly taking effect in, uh, like 7 hours?
Also, we have a live tracker of Trump's tariffs -- maps! and charts! -- for those trying to find order in the chaos today. We'll be updating as we learn more ahead of the Aug. 1 tariff deadline www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
NEW: The Trump administration scrambled to defend the legality of its trade war in court on the eve of its tariff deadline. It was an icy reception at times for DOJ as it argued Trump had sweeping powers over trade. Court is now adjourned. My dispatch: www.nytimes.com/2025/07/31/b...
NEW: Congressional investigators have found once again that the Trump administration broke the law and illegally withheld funding -- this time related to money to help schools make energy upgrades. Read my deep dive on the probes + the WH work to undermine them www.nytimes.com/2025/07/22/u...
Oral arguments are well under way, and while I am not a lawyer, the judges have very harshly questioned the Justice Department -- and its claims to broad presidential tariff powers under the law

NEW: One day before President Trump will implement his steepest and perhaps most damaging tariffs, his administration must defend the legality of his trade war in a federal appeals court, a case that could define his trade powers. My latest: www.nytimes.com/2025/07/31/b...

And here's my story: Congressional watchdog finds Trump admin illegally withheld funding for the child care program Head Start, marking only the latest example of the White House defying lawmakers on spending. Head Start aid seemed to return to normal by June. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/23/u...
In the past, the Trump admin has maintained that they are not at fault, and that the problem is GAO, describing its work as partisan and its reading of the impoundment law as overly broad.
One of the open probes I cited involved Head Start, a child care program that the admin at one point wanted to eliminate. We learned the impoundment investigation was ongoing because of documents I obtained. Today, the GAO found that the WH did indeed impound Head Start funds for months. Story TK
Yesterday, I published a story revealing nearly four dozen investigations into the Trump admin for illegally withholding funds, and the discussions among congressional investigators about whether to sue at a time when the White House is trying to discredit them (1/2) www.nytimes.com/2025/07/22/u...
