I will say that it is funny that three positions that were the core of my youth: the current neoliberal trade regime is bad, the Iraq War is a monstrous mistake and George W Bush sucks, have now become right-wing canon.

Not a single person saying this is going to work one of these jobs, nor have they likely ever worked these jobs in the past. But also, what made these jobs bearable was they were well-paying union jobs where you traded monotony, physical toil for a good middle-class life. They aren’t offering that.

This is a very sharp thread from Senator Murphy on how Trump's tariffs are a form of political coercion designed to impose authoritarian control over the economy. It's really on point, and another example of Murphy leading in new and interesting ways. I think the guy genuinely gets it.
