Maggie tackles the economic squeeze as tariffs hit back-to-school shopping, driving prices sky-high while Trump's broad, indiscriminate tariffs fail to incentivize U.S. manufacturing. With the de minimis exemption's abrupt closure causing shipping chaos, consumers face order cancellations or surprise costs. Meanwhile, the CDC is in turmoil, with mass resignations over leadership upheaval and vaccine policy changes, leaving the U.S. vaccine program critically weakened. Amidst this, the Packers make a blockbuster trade, acquiring Micah Parsons for two first-round picks and Kenny Clark, signaling a bold new era for the team under new leadership.
