In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “Trump is engaging the full power of the presidency to settle scores,” our columnist Maureen Dowd writes. “The White House was not meant for petty tyrants on revenge tours. In the biggest job in the world, Trump seems like a very small man.”

"It was the worst type of magical thinking to imagine Trump would have any serious constraints in a second term ... If his voters believed he wouldn’t be stupid and malevolent enough to obliterate the economy for no good reason, they simply didn’t pay attention to his first term or 2024 campaign."

I tell this story because I want you to know that these things can happen. My grandfather worked in the media & was jailed by an authoritarian regime. Can it happen here? Yes! Trump wouldn't hesitate. So if you're in the media stop ignoring Abrego Garcia's story because you might just be next.

I’m not seeing that much alarm over the SAVE Act, and I fear that part of the reason is that we haven’t paid attention as voter suppression (which is all the SAVE Act is) has been systematically rolled out against Black people. The right is not creative or original. www.chron.com/news/houston...

Voters wanted to LOWER the cost of living Trump and Republicans promised they would Now instead they're RAISING costs -- through tariffs (national sales taxes of 10-50% on EVERYTHING) and now by cutting the ACA and Medicaid (raising healthcare costs) 100% BAIT-AND-SWITCH

My Republican friends complain about how the "woke left" stifles free speech. Meanwhile, the right is banning books, telling teachers what they can or cannot teach about history, attacking library funding, & trying to punish student journalists. And all I hear is "yes, but the woke left is worse."🤦‍♀️

I’ve got two Gen Z kids, and I can tell you—neither of them is going to line up to work in an iPhone factory. That’s just not how Gen Z rolls. If we’re serious about rebuilding U.S. manufacturing, we need to invest in training and build high-skill, high-value products—not chase cheap labor.

I don't see how the US can win a trade war against China - in any scenario. China isn't a democracy - there's no opposition, and it produces far more of what America needs than anything Chinese import from the USA. Their biggest import is soy beans... presumably can get elsewhere

This past week, the Chinese learned 1) exactly where Trump's pain points are; 2) how much to squeeze them before he flinches; and 3) how little America's partners and allies want to help this president. Highly useful information.

Instead of deporting undocumented, tax-paying immigrants by using the IRS, why not create a legal path to status for them? They paid over $96 billion in taxes in 2022 alone. With a real path to legal status and without ICE breathing down their necks, they would contribute even more.
