Trump’s reckless trade wars have turned Americans’ 401Ks into 201Ks. It’s time for Congress to step up, take back the power to impose tariffs, and bring stability back to working families.

This Tufts student was grabbed off the street, cuffed and taken out of state solely because she co-wrote a completely respectful oped in the student paper. And Rubio’s State Dept now admits they have nothing more damning than that. Gift link wapo.st/4j8d5Uh
