Trump’s underlings are arresting local judges as part of what Tammy Baldwin calls the “deeply concerning pattern of this president’s lawless behavior and undermining courts and Congress’s checks on his power.” Baldwin isn’t alone. The arrest of Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan has drawn a loud outcry.

The Trump Administration arrested a sitting judge at the Milwaukee County Courthouse. Wisconsin Senator Tammy Baldwin says that: “By relentlessly attacking the judicial system, flouting court orders and arresting a sitting judge, this president is putting basic democratic values.” She’s right.

There is no such thing as “a modern monarchy.” Today’s monarchies are merely debris left over from the feudal past. They belong in the dustbin of history. The royals should get real jobs, pay taxes and respect that there is NO right to rule. When they fail to do so, presidents get dangerous ideas.

Every evening, without fail, Pope Francis speaks with priests and parishioners at the Holy Family Catholic Church in Gaza City. He tells them that they are not forgotten and that, as long as he has a voice to cry out for an end to the Israeli assault on Gaza, there is hope for peace and justice.

What subject that most Dems avoid did Bernie Sanders discuss at Coachella? Gaza. What was the response from young potential voters? Cheers for the fact that Sanders recognized an issue that matters on a fundamental level — and that young people (and others) say must be a part of our politics.

This is a great and thought-provoking article which brings up some fantastic points. I would differ a tad here (I'm not as hardened of an anti-globalist and would argue trading up from Blue to White Collar has many benefits and increased pay), but I agree with a whole lot of this. Smart & pragmatic.

Trump’s tariff tantrum is just that: a tantrum. It has nothing to do with sound economic policy and it will NOT renew US manufacturing. Smart, targeted tariffs can be quite good for workers in some sectors of the economy. But across-the-board tariffs invariably create misery for the working class.
