CONGRESSMAN JAKE AUCHINCLOSS

  LAST 2 WEEKS IN REVIEW I’m your Representative in Congress and I write to keep you informed. The chaos and costs of Trump’s tariff strategy A junior varsity national security team  No one is above the law, or below it  Big ideas to govern better Hitting back on behalf of scientists Meeting with constituents in the MA-04   The chaos and costs of Trump’s tariff strategy   WSJ’s “dumbest trade war in history”:  The president announced sweeping tariffs this week, which amount to a $500+ billion tax hike on everyday Americans. The tariffs were calculated  nonsensically  and communicated incoherently. There is robust debate between policymakers and economists about how tariffs might help America, but every serious participant in that debate recognizes that the chaos of this tariff roll-out will cause pain for businesses, families, and allies alike.  I have often joined the tariff debate, generally arguing for free trade with the exception of Chin...

Ramble On: Waiting for the Barbarians (video) Morning thoughts on exfiltrations, the gutting of the FDA, tomorrow's protests, and how to quiet the brain by visiting Alexandria Greg Olear Apr 4 Good morning! Here is today’s ramble: And here is the transcript, edited for clarity: Good morning. It is Friday, April 4th, 6:17 a.m. We’ve made it. Those of us who have made it have made it through another batshit crazy week, courtesy of Trump and Musk and Vance and this entire cockamamie administration. There’s so many things to discuss.  The Five 8  is gonna be lit tonight. I encourage you to watch that if you’re around, at 8 p.m. Eastern,  on our YouTube channel,  The Five 8 . This morning, I don’t know, I want to talk about a couple of things and my own emotional state this week, because I think that might be helpful. Two stories that really stuck out for me.
