The Appeals court has blocked the lower court's ruling blocking the tariffs. So the block is blocked and therefore the tariffs are back on, pending the full hearing at the appeals court. Briefs are due June 9, and then there will almost certainly be time for rebuttals to the briefs. It will take a while.

So more on-again, off-again, on-again tariffs.

3:45 from ABC news, so not the best explanations, even if the basic facts are there.

the masses misunderstand why this standard delay tactic is a massive win for trump.

a. there is little chance impatient trump will wait another ~12 months (if\when scotus could review) for more bribes to roll in via 1-on-1 tariff negotiations. as bloomberg has cataloged, there are many dozens of more productive active grift channels.

b. too close to midterms...there is a risk than everyone not MAGA will realize reshoring didnt spike due to gop trade policy.
(but of course the gop will use anyone new factory long underway and near completion as publicity)
any adverse court ruling will be instantly flood rightwing media and local election ads.
