β€œ.. companies that paid the IEEPA tariffs are entitled to a refund,” said Ted Murphy, a trade lawyer at Sidley Austin. β€œHow that refund gets effectuated? We don’t know. And I would say nobody knows for sure. Which is crazy.”

Are you saying that engaging in critical thinking is necessary to create something to spur critical thinking?

Like the proposed concentration camp in Surprise, Camp East Montana was designed as a β€œshort-term” processing center. It became the deadliest camp in less than a year. A man died in agony from a tooth infection in Florence days ago. The warehouse projects will be hell on earth and must be stopped.

Sometimes, what looks like a scam is just a marketing message.

So my certainty that this was a phishing scam was misplaced.

Aha, not a scam. Logging in to my PayPal account I see (a) another push to get me to use their mobile app and (b) I had a legitimate annual charge via PayPal this mornng (the only provider I use PayPal with, this is my very first renewal with them).

Looks like the link goes to a genuine PayPal page with a QR code to download its mobile app (or login).

I have a security key and a passkey with PayPal, I'm sure this is some kind of phishing scam but it's interesting that it's using PayPal's short code and link shortener.

I see I received a text message from PayPal's short code (70924) with a link using PayPal's link shortener (py[.]pl) at 4:07 am this morning local time stating "PayPal: Thanks for checking out. Next time, use your face, fingerprint, or passkey to log in faster with [link]".

The order itself requires Customs to "liquidate all entries" without regard to IEEPA duties, but at the hearing the judge said unequivocally that "I want to make it clear to the Customs Service that they have to refund any money that was unlawfully collected." [4]
