A political bellwether. Possibly. eks.creators.com/read/froma-h...

Slapping tariffs on things we can't produce -- even if we wanted to -- is crazy www.creators.com/read/froma-h...

That's true, but Trump's attacks on due process (not coincidentally for a Latino immigrant), however serious, are part of his bigger efforts to take the focus off the crashing economy.

Has it occurred to some of you that Trump's on-again, off-again tariff war is part of an insider trading scheme? Before he announces a pause, which inevitably causes stocks to rise, he and friends buy stock. Before he announces a resumption, which leads to sharp price drops, they sell.

Does this apply to the US? The US defense budget is $824 billion. That’s about 3.1% of GDP. To get to 5% of GDP would mean another $500 billion in defense spending. Is Trump going to propose that and where will the money come from? Or is 5% only for other countries? www.politico.eu/article/dona...

As chair of a Pulitzer jury on cartoonists, I applaud Ann Telnaes’ decision. (I also agree with her message though, it must be noted, that is not a criterion for choosing nominees.)

As an anti-immigrant America Firster, I want to be ruled by a South African immigrant who answers to a leader in Russia and thinks Americans are too dumb to use computers.
