Markets rejoiced as the US and China reached a temporary truce of sorts in their trade war Monday, sharply reducing tariffs in a “90-day pause.”For Trump, this was a climbdown. He had severely escalated the trade war against China, starting on “Liberation Day” when he began hiking tariffs through the roof — all the way to 145 percent — in a series of tit-for-tat exchanges.

Welcome to The Logoff. Patrick Reis is off today: Rümeysa Öztürk was detained by the Trump administration, seemingly just for writing an op-ed.

Reports of the GOP establishment’s death have been somewhat exaggerated. In his second term, President Donald Trump has filled his administration with many hard-line ideologues, personal loyalists, and more recent converts to his cause — spurring many to conclude that this was a fully MAGA White House.

During his campaign, President Donald Trump was exceedingly clear about his plans for a second term. He released policy videos, made sweeping proclamations on the stump, and his allies published reams of ideas, perhaps none as infamous as Project 2025. Americans were told he would embrace tariffs, enact sweeping deportations, shrink the federal workforce, rapidly bring peace to Ukraine, get rid of “woke” military leaders, boost US business, and outlaw taxes on tips, among other things.

Elon Musk will step back from his Trump administration work with a trail of wreckage — and failure — behind him. Musk said last Wednesday that he’d scale back his White House work to one or two days each week soon, likely in May. But he’d already had his power reined in, becoming far less powerful in Washington as his grand ambitions hit a wall.

Pretty good proxy for the drop in how much of the day we've spent thinking about him https://t.co/vFvEepUaVP
Not knowing field this is obviously premature but I can definitely see scenarios where SC going first *lessens* its impact. There are big benefits to going just before Super Tuesday and "settling" things. But if SC's first, a progressive can flop there & say "well, it's just SC"
Totally forgot about SC calendar switch. A testament to Biden’s power grab of early 2023 and the ways the party was cynically using the language of representation at that time. Gonna be interesting to see if they switch it again by 2028 or it’ll shape field in unexpected ways
What’s the influential online political movement or faction of recent times that had the least toxic supporters? Just a pure “good vibes, no assholes” political movement. Does one exist?
Abundance probably would’ve gone over better with ‘the left’ if it was just the two authors promoting it. Some needed ideas in there. Once it got a posse of dudes who can’t say an idea without punching left in smug and counterproductive ways, it got mired in this stupidity.
