Seems to me that if there’s a senile guy doing nothing in particular the usual way and a senile guy setting everything on fire, the fire guy is the one who should be the focus of media inquiry

There are many horrible things in the Ways & Means draft, but let me alert you to this underappreciated horror: They want to expand the Treasury Secretary's power to unilaterally designate nonprofits as "terrorist supporting organizations."

Seeing Trump claim responsibility for bringing about an American Pope would be a bit like Leonid Brezhnez claiming responsibility on the front page of Pravda for the 1969 U.S. moon landing. That's not how it works.

My loved one apologized. "Sorry, I didn't get that thing you needed out of my car, there was a squirrel in the yard near the garage and he was eating a peanut and I didn't want to disturb him."

My bus just passed me by today. I walked out of the bus stop and got blowing street grime. As I stood, a bit surprised looking eastward toward the rear of the bus passed by and the word RAGE was emblazened in little red LED letters in a corner of the bus.

Wondering if all time spent outside Chicago permitted the new #Pope to escape the grasp of the Northern Cities Vowel Shift.

Was just reminiscing to someone about the best kefir I ever had, it was in Kazakhstan. So tangy and ever so slight funky, barely, just barely.

Although lost among concerns about Trump’s incompetent NSA Mike Waltz And his bungling of the economy The story of how the administration keeps attacking former CISA chief Chris Krebs Simply because he told the truth about how Trump lost the 2020 election Should send chills down everyone’s spine

You can't finesse it. The argument was that other countries would fall on their knees and everything would be cheaper. It was not that the kids would have no toys for Christmas.

Tony Judt used to argue that postwar politics was suffused with morality: is this right or wrong? Just or unjust? Virtuous or vicious? We have completely lost this. Instead we get bland platitudes like “this is not normal.”

What was the average industrial tariff in Argentina in the early 1960s? 140 percent. Welcome to American Peronism.

This is the essence of the story, not how these tariffs epitomize Trump’s “appetite for risk,” which is currently the lead story in The NY Times. I haven’t seen anything approaching this level of straightforward honesty in the Times or WAPO, thus far.

An island of 5,500 people, part of the EU, and a few miles from the Canadian coast of Newfoundland is getting a 50 percent US #tariff? Is this a joke? Why do they hate Saint Pierre and Miquelon? Does it go back to the liberation by the Free French in WWII? You know Vance loves the idea of Vichy.

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.
