The US buys approximately $3.5 billion in goods from Russia annually. The trade deficit in the most recent year was $2.5 billion. Using the same formula as other countries, Russia should have been hit with about a 17% tariff. Oddly, Russia was spared. I wonder why.

A reminder: Both sheriffs and local police have the right to refuse ICE detainers. These requests are voluntary and not legally enforceable under federal law. Across the country, many sheriffs and police departments choose not to cooperate and that choice is fully within their legal rights.

Even if you accept Stephen Miller’s (textually, historically, and morally indefensible) claim that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process, you’d still need due process to ensure that the individuals at issue are, in fact, undocumented. His argument fails even on its own terms.

There is a reason why millions of workers want to join unions. There is a reason why greedy corporations oppose unions. Union membership means higher wages and better benefits. Let’s grow the trade union movement.

At a time of massive inequality, Trump's budget is breathtaking in its degree of cruelty. It slashes funding for health care, housing & education that the working class desperately needs in order to pay for more tax breaks for billionaires & the Pentagon. That is morally obscene.

This is what a rigged economy looks like: In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker. In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker. This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker. That has got to change.

May Day is not officially acknowledged in the U.S. because of what historians say is an ongoing resistance to unity among the working class. This resistance is prompting protesters to take action on Thursday, regardless.

I’ve watched too many of these raids to count. This one is one of the most infuriating in recent memory. Appropriate that we learn about it on the same day SCOTUS hears oral arguments for a case that may remove the last remaining way to hold federal agents accountable for this kind of terror.

This is 💯 Trump’s stock market. Biden left him stock markets at a record high, a strong US dollar, healthy GDP, significant job growth and plateauing inflation. In 100 days, Trump turned it all into a dumpster fire. There is no boom coming. Only pain.

There's strong evidence that women's participation in security efforts makes countries safer. That's why leaders in over 100 countries have taken action to further it. One of them—who signed the U.S. Women, Peace & Security Act into law in 2017—was Donald Trump.
