Donald Trump rose to power by stoking fears of scarcity. The liberal response should be to embrace the politics of abundance—but liberals first need to get out of their own way, Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson argue.

No one seems willing to think about how getting nuclear weapons creates a pretext for attack against those weapons. If UKR had kept its nukes - aimed mostly at us, btw - the Russians would have attacked them many years ago. Iran has played this game of "almost, but not quite" very cleverly.

Trump just turned the White House into a Tesla dealership—hawking $60K cars to bail out Musk while everyday Americans watch their 401(k)s tank. Funny how he feels sorry for Elon losing money but doesn’t give a damn about the people suffering under his wreck of an economy. Oh, and it’s illegal.

It’s totally unacceptable, Elon Musk is giving Trump political operation ANOTHER $100 million as he giggles with a chain saw and cuts staff, veterans, and needed services. This is NOT what our founding fathers envisioned, an oligarchy in all but name.

Donald Trump campaigned on the fact that he believed Kamala Harris would cause a recession. In reality, the only candidate who would have caused a recession is Donald Trump, and the American people are feeling it today.

These tariffs are a Trump tax. Instead of putting a stop to them, Congressional Republicans are rolling out the red carpet for more.
