Trump Uses 'Plan C' Loophole to Keep Tariffs High Despite Court Losses

The Trump administration isn't backing down on its trade strategy, even after a string of losses in the Supreme Court and lower federal courts. While news outlets called the May 7 ruling a major defeat for the White House, a new court stay on May 12 changed the game. It allows the government to keep collecting 10% interim tariffs while the appeal plays out. By pivoting from broad emergency declarations to targeted Section 301 probes, the administration is trying to build a legal wall around its trade barriers. For the average American, it means the price relief they expected from those court wins has been put on ice.

The $6.7 Trillion Gatekeeper: Senate Ignores Wall Street Ties to Confirm Fed Chair

Kevin Warsh just cleared the final hurdle to lead the Federal Reserve, but his path to the chairmanship isn't without controversy.

Senator Elizabeth Warren is still demanding answers about undisclosed assets from his private sector days. At its core, this is about who manages a $6.7 trillion balance sheet that dictates the cost of living for every American.
