This @jamellebouie.net column is a must-read. Trump cannot explain his tariffs because they arise from a fundemental psychological characteristic: the need to dominate everything everywhere all at once www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/o...

Correct. The whole premise of Trump’s tariffs is a deeply flawed (ignorant) view of trade deficits.

Again, Kelly Meggs was adjudged to be a terrorist. This is quite literally the acting US Attorney, facing confirmation, palling around with someone that Trump could have (and did, with Enrique Tarrio) said was not a terrorist. He did not do so.

Even as the stock market crashed, President Trump was in Florida at his Doral golf resort and Mar-a-Lago club helping pump up family businesses, evidence that Trump continues to monetize the presidency. A NYT behind-the-scenes look with Theodore Schleifer and Zolan Kanno-Youngs nyti.ms/3XPqyIa

What is taught to senior military leaders at our nation’s War Colleges is that a nation’s power emanates from four areas: -Strength of diplomacy -Strength of economy -Strength of its military -Strength of truthful public information. All combine to determine power on the global stage.

Whoever came up with these supposed tariff rates is like Kramer from Seinfeld when he pretended to work at that job "in business"

As President Trump unfurled his list of tariffs targeting most of America's trading partners, he claimed each nation's rate was reciprocal, reflecting long-standing trade barriers to U.S. goods. But how are Trump's tariff rates calculated?

Kseniia Petrova is a university medical researcher and Putin critic. Upon returning to the US, CBP detained her. I'm urging Sec. Kristi Noem and ICE to release Kseniia while her asylum claim is pending and ensure she is not deported to Russia – where she risks persecution.
