Trump's tariff plan would amount to an $880 billion annual tax hike that will be paid not, as Trump insists, by foreigners but by U.S. businesses and consumers. That’s the largest tax increase since 1942. And he implemented it without congressional approval. wapo.st/4lcJ2fw

SLAUGHTERHOUSE-FIVE: THE GRAPHIC NOVEL by Kurt Vonnegut and Ryan North. Albert Monteys did an exceptionally good job of making the art clear, clean, and easy to follow. The story goes all over the place - the art did not need to add to the confusion. dwdsreviews.blogspot.com/2025/04/slau...

This is the simple pattern in everything this administration has done: They don’t know what they’re doing. The chainsawing of agencies, the market-tanking stop-and-go tariffs, the war plans dumped unwittingly to a journalist on an open channel. They’re idiots. They have no idea what they’re doing.

Florida man Andrew Dutil, 44, was arrested for driving his car, jumping the curb onto the sidewalk, and into a crowd of protesters. "He drove into a crowd of senior citizens," the West Palm Beach protest organizer said. Isn’t this domestic terrorism?

A PAPER ORCHESTRA (audiobook) by Michael Jamin I worked my way through this audiobook rather slowly. At the end of almost every story I stopped and let it marinate a bit rather than going on to the next story. For that reason, I rate it 5/5 stars. dwdsreviews.blogspot.com/2025/02/a-pa...
