I mean, when was the last time you remember a company warning customers about a price hike? That tells you how bad this could be. But unfortunately, that's the world basically everybody else has to live in. And hey, maybe Pam Bonney shops at Walmart too. I can't really say. But the point is, this is all a pattern.

They avoid the pain of tariffs while everyone else pays more for groceries. And there's a similar dynamic playing out right now in our legal system. The Trump administration wants one set of rules for themselves, which is pretty much an evergreen statement about them, and an entirely different set of rules for basically everybody else.

The Briefing with Jen Psaki
Trump's power grab scheme exposed; Supreme Court birthright citizenship case focuses on court powers

Remember the first day of Trump's second term, which I know I am also trying to block out? But one of the first things Trump did was sign an executive order to end birthright citizenship. It was blatantly illegal. It was blatantly unconstitutional. Trump, of course, did it anyway. I guess he figured, why not unilaterally strip the right of citizenship from people who are born in this country?

That's what heβ€”guess what he figured. Now, within days, a federal judge blocked Trump's order. Then a second federal judge blocked the order. Then a third. Then a fourth federal judge. So four federal judges all across the country all agreed that Trump's executive order was illegal and unconstitutional. And what those judges did is put in place a nationwide injunction.

And that means that even though these judges made their rulings from courts in Washington state, in Maryland, in New Hampshire, in Massachusetts, their rulings didn't just apply to those states.
