I think of my good friend Robbie on Memorial Day, as I do of others who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. He was one of the kindest and thoughtful young men I've ever met. I wanted to share some thoughts about my friend — and what we owe each other as Americans.

According to ProPublica, more than a dozen top executive branch officials and congressional aides sold stocks just before Trump's "Liberation Day" market crash.  Today would be a great day to ban public servants from trading stocks, don't you think?

Cost of extending the expiring Trump tax cuts for the rich: $4.6 trillion Cost of cutting corporate tax rate to 15%: $1 trillion Both Trump proposals will explode the deficit and be used as an excuse to gut programs that millions rely on. It's reverse Robin Hood.
