This is a false choice. Both issues are rooted in Trump's power-mad quest to become a dictator. But beyond that -- the public is outraged over the deportation case and Trump is flailing. If your instincts are to push that aside rather than harness it, you should get the hell out of politics.

Most rail services in the US still use polluting diesel locomotives. Recently, our commuter rail system in San Francisco, @caltrain.com, was electrified. Good news: we found DRAMATIC air quality improvements once the electric trains replaced the diesels. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

I will keep beating this drum until the tide turns: Obama's DNC speech got him rock-star attention, but the key reason he became a viable presidential primary candidate was his opposition to the Iraq War back when many elected Dems--especially Hillary Clinton--supported it.

As destructive and capricious as these tariffs are they are arguably the greatest abuse of power in American history as 1) Trump has no authority to levy tariffs 2) they impact every person in the world.

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

Mr. Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted by the Trump Admin and, by their own admission, wrongly deported to El Salvador. He shouldn’t have to spend another second away from his family. I'm flying to El Salvador tomorrow morning to check on his condition and discuss his return.

The only people with any confidence in Donald Trump‘s handling of the economy are his hard-core base. When he starts falling into the 30s, which I expect soon, it will be more telling of the feeling that his supporters will not admit publicly.
