In 2023, the Biden administration reached a settlement to help provide modern sanitation infrastructure to residents of Lowndes County, a predominantly Black county in Alabama. The Trump White House could not let this injustice stand.

We haven’t written about Balan’s case before because it’s been such a long time coming, and filled with various arcane legal wranglings. There will likely be more steps to come, many of which are boring legal maneuvers, but perhaps this case will now have a chance to go more public now that the arbitration decision has been thrown out.

Summary

Despite a temporary pause on some tariffs, economists warn Trump's trade war continues to pose serious risks to the U.S. economy.

Current import taxes now exceed levels seen during the 1930s Great Depression. A Yale analysis estimates a $2.4 trillion tax increase over 10 years, costing households $4,400 more.

Tariffs on Chinese imports have reached 145%, driving up prices and investor anxiety. Markets briefly surged after Trump’s announcement but quickly fell again.

Critics highlight Trump’s deep misunderstanding of trade mechanics and fear long-term economic damage from persistent uncertainty.
