5/8/202625 min
U.S. Customs and Border Protection has begun processing applications for tariff refunds after the Supreme Court ruled against swaths of President Trump’s import taxes. But limitations on who can file have left some business owners out of luck, and those who are eligible must weigh how much of the refund they should pass down the line. Also on the program: the jobs report, tech layoffs, and what the Spirit Airlines shutdown could mean for a Florida airport. Plus: a look into Sparrow’s Nest Studio, Manhattan’s “home for mahjong.”

This Marketplace podcast is supported by the Freedom from Religion Foundation. America is an aspirational idea, one we're still working to fulfill, shaped by Enlightenment ideals, reason, liberty, and freedom of conscience, the belief that power comes from we, the people, not a divinely appointed ruler. And while these ideals have not yet been fully perfected, they created something powerful, a framework that has expanded rights and freedoms over time. Now, those freedoms and your rights are under attack. We're seeing growing efforts to blur the line between church and state, public funds to promote religion, Ten Commandments in classrooms, and pushing a version of America that leaves out too many people. As our nation approaches its 250th anniversary, the Freedom from Religion Foundation is working to protect the Constitution, defend secular government, and ensure that freedom continues to expand for everyone. Because America isn't just where we started, it's what we choose next. Go to ffrf.us/america or text America to 511511. America
