Most of the major elements of #Trump’s agenda have been accomplished via executive action, with the exception of the #tax & #spending cut #legislation #Republicans pushed through last year using the #partisan reconciliation process—hardly the “broad support to survive the #legislative process” that Justice #Gorsuch wrote was vital to enacting enduring policies.…

Most #Republicans in #Congress appear to fall into the latter category. They have sought to give #Trump broad latitude on nearly every issue of significance, including powers normally jealously guarded by legislators, such as the authority to impose #taxes & #tariffs, to allocate federal #spending & to use #military force.

…It was hard not to detect a note of reproach for the current #dysfunctional state of affairs in #Congress in Justice #Gorsuch’s reflections about the virtues of #legislating, in which, he wrote, “deliberation tempers impulse, & compromise hammers disagreements into workable solutions.”

“For some today, the weight of those virtues is apparent,” he added. “For others, it may not seem so obvious.”

“ #Spending 2 to 3 times the #cost to create what we already had access to makes absolutely no sense in terms of fiscal stewardship,” said Tom Inglesby, director Center for Health Security at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of #PublicHealth, who served as a snr covid19 adviser during the Biden admin. “We’re not going to get the same quality or breadth of information we would have by being in the #WHO, or have anywhere the influence we had.”

While #Trump accused the #WHO of demanding “unfairly onerous payments,” the alternative his administration is considering carries a price tag about three times what the #US contributed annually to the #UN #health agency. The US would build on bilateral agreements with countries & expand the presence of its health agencies to dozens of additional nations [starting from scratch], the officials said.

There’s major uncertainty for the #US & #global #economies about what comes next, in part because #SCOTUS has yet to rule on whether the majority of the #Trump #tariffs are #legal. But the data offered the latest snapshot of a historic overhaul of the #economy & old global order.

Trump’s return to the White House brought sprawling tariffs, a giant #tax & #spending bill & #threats to #CentralBank #independence.​

Fresh data released by the #Commerce Department Thursday morning showed the full-year total #deficit combining goods & services was $901.5 billion, down a smidgen from 2024 but still one of the largest levels in decades. Exports of goods & services rose 6.2% to a record $3.4 trillion. Imports rose nearly 5% to a record $4.3 trillion.
