Summary
The Supreme Court blocked Trump’s country-specific tariffs, triggering billions in refunds — over $20 billion already sent out. But the government’s trying to limit refunds to only those who sued, arguing it’s too complex to process everyone. Big retailers like Walmart and Costco plan to pass refunds to customers, while smaller businesses desperately need the cash to survive. The government is resisting a judge’s order for the head of Customs and Border Protection to testify, claiming it oversteps authority — but the judge insists on hearing directly from top officials about the refund timeline. This legal tug-of-war could delay cash flowing back into the economy, even if the government ultimately loses. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
