Tariff Suits, Tech Antitrust and Tax Bill

Updates and our outlook on the various lawsuits challenging the Trump administration’s tariffs, with ramifications for retailers like Nike, automakers like Volkswagen and numerous other sectors, are among key catalysts that BI litigation and policy analysts are watching this week. The team also discussed various antitrust matters, including the ongoing FTC v. Meta trial, proceedings over remedies in the DOJ’s case against Google over search, and the recent court ruling for DOJ against Google concerning its ad tech. Congress returns next week and Republicans will pick up their efforts to pass a reconciliation bill to extend the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The European Commission’s light-touch fines issued on April 23 against Apple (€500 million) and Meta (€200 million) — for noncompliance with the Digital Markets Act (DMA) — suggest an easing of European regulatory pressure on US tech giants, though pending DMA probes into Alphabet and Apple still pose a risk.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dinner Table Politics Bonneville International The Bennett family has been at the heart of Utah politics for over half a century. So what happens when they talk about the issues of the day around the dinner table? Join Jim, the dad, and Abby, the daughter for a free- wheeling political discussion with an intergenerational perspective. College student Abby is a political independent, while her father Jim is a former Republican who became the first candidate of the new United Utah Party in 2017, running for Congress and garnering over 14,000 votes. Jim's father, Bob Bennett, served as a GOP senator from Utah for eighteen years after being unceremoniously ousted by the Tea Party. Bob was well-respected and, toward the end of his life, co-created the Utah Debate Commission, facilitating public discourse between leading candidates. Jim was the first non-Republican/non-Democrat to participate in a UDC debate. Abby may well be the next.
