The only part of the bizarre fixation of Donald Trump’s tariffs that we can agree on is that there was no cogent, organized, or well-developed policy.
Building the America we want and deserve won’t be easy, but it starts by electing leaders who care about us, who seek office with the idea of serving the people of the communities that elect them.
The Trump administration is mounting a sweeping and unprecedented attack on historical knowledge and institutions.
Elon Musk, the richest man on earth, takes delight in trashing the careers, the livelihoods and the lives of people — about 26,000 of them at last estimate.

Recalling lessons from former presidents on the right and the left — Ronald Reagan and Franklin Delano Roosevelt — U.S. Rep. Ro Khanna, D-California, said Thursday, “Blanket tariffs sound patriotic but are not. They drive inflation up and innovation down.”
A cheesehead gets showered with gratitude for Wisconsin’s rejection of Elon Musk.
