"DOGE says it’s rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse. But in her first media interview, one insider at the U.S. Digital Service says DOGE’s “audit” felt more like a purge."
This is the shit that makes me go fuuuuuuuuu😬
https://www.vizionapi.com/blog/tariff-shockwave-us-import-bookings-collapse-after-q1-surgeA Sudden April Crash in Bookings
As tariff-related uncertainty intensified, booking volumes collapsed in real time. Comparing the week of March 24–31, 2025 to the following week, April 1–8, 2025, we saw sharp declines:
Global TEUs Booked: ? 49%
Overall U.S. Imports: ? 64%
Overall U.S. Exports: ? 30%
U.S. Imports from China: ? 64%
U.S. Exports to China: ? 36%
This dramatic drop aligned with two key developments: the April 4th U.S. tariff announcement, followed by China’s retaliatory measures announced on April 5th. The result? A widespread booking freeze, as shippers paused mid-shipment cycle to reassess costs, timelines, and broader trade strategy.

In a Truth Social post on Sunday, Trump directly denied the tariff exemption announcement.
“NOBODY is getting ‘off the hook’ for the unfair Trade Balances, and Non Monetary Tariff Barriers, that other Countries have used against us, especially not China which, by far, treats us the worst! There was no Tariff ‘exception’ announced on Friday,” he said, adding that Americans can look forward to “more and better paying Jobs, making products in our Nation, and treating other Countries, in particular China, the same way they have treated us” as a result of his agenda.

get a load of this. built into the tariffs...
"After the event, Trump also signed an executive order closing the de minimis exemption, a little-known carve out that allows packages valued under $800 to enter the US duty free. Ultra cheap retailers like Shein, Temu, and Amazon Haul use the rule as a loophole to keep prices low, and buyers don’t have to pay any taxes that would otherwise apply to their purchases. By ending the exemption, Trump could destabilize the business model that has hooked Americans looking for a deal on China-reliant online retailers." [b/]
I wonder if this will apply to groceries. you know, whole foods...

Tax revenue could drop by 10 percent amid turmoil at IRS
https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/taxes/tax-revenue-could-drop-by-10-percent-amid-turmoil-at-irs/ar-AA1Bs7Yp
Treasury Department and IRS officials are predicting a decrease of more than 10 percent in tax receipts by the April 15 deadline compared with 2024, said the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to share nonpublic data. That would amount to more than $500 billion in lost federal revenue; the IRS collected $5.1 trillion last year. For context, the U.S. government spent $825 billion on the Defense Department in fiscal 2024.
