I was motivated to write this by Donald Trump’s sickening PR stunt at a US Steel plant in Pennsylvania last week. He’s not the first president to use steelworkers as a prop, but the first to do so while economically spitting in their faces.

Remember, steel companies are not in the business of making steel, they are in the business of making profits.

Prices rise and US production goes down. General Motors, for example, will replace steel with plastics or simply sell fewer cars.
US steel companies don’t care. The number of tons they sell may fall, but their profits take off — and it’s the steelworkers who get laid off.

This year, the American Iron and Steel Institute expects manufacturers, protected by tariffs, will raise the price of hot rolled steel by a stratospheric 18.75%!

Here’s how it works: Every time the US raises tariffs on steel, American companies, not having to face competition from lower prices from abroad, simply hike their own prices through the roof.

Do we really need a book in 2025 telling us that Joe Biden's brain would slip out of gear? This is news? This is journalism? #JakeTapper

He's one of those careerist climbers who spends their time sucking up to the boss. The journalism? Forget it.

Others on my Salon team put in real effort on the ground, and the Palast Investigative team worked day and night on this important but very complex story. Tapper did nothing but bitch to the editors but didn't do a lick of work.

The grounds? That they were felons ineligible to vote. But not a single one was an illegal voter.

In 2001, Tapper was assigned by Salon to work with me to develop a story I'd just broken in The Guardian and on BBC TV: that George W. Bush had won Florida and the presidency because his brother, Jeb Bush, had removed tens of thousands of Black men from the voter rolls. youtu.be/0s2x5vPx7i4?...

Our new associate producer has been using their tiny salary to support an Afghan family on the run. (They’d like to keep their name confidential, but I am proud that they have brought their talents — and their generous heart — to our team.)
So, what are YOU going to do about it?

And those are the “lucky” ones. Less lucky: the translator/soldiers left behind, in hiding, where they risk execution if found by the Taliban.

There's a fantasy that the Democratic Party will protect its voters from racist suppression. Don’t hold your breath. Only YOU can save your vote. No political party will do it for you. Check your reg. Then join a voting rights group. MLKing had to fight BOTH parties. There is no shortcut.

I appreciated them very much,for both their humor and expertise.
While looking through your post, I came across this article. It sums up very nicely the devious means Rs are using to steal our votes.
I also made a donation. Keep up the good work!
