Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

Column worth reading, by former two-term GOP governor who discovers that Harvard is not the hellscape of intolerance and group-think that the MAGA and its media are constantly telling him about.

This story is the predictable overlap of all @wired.com's reporting on the danger posed by Big Balls and all @stevevladeck.bsky.social's reporting on the dangers of SCOTUS' refusal to stay Trump's abuse of power.
We're at the stage of nightmarish fascism where John Roberts and his right wing colleagues allowed Ed "Big Balls" Coristine -- a kid with ties to criminal hackers -- live access to all Americans' social security data.

According to the Yale Budget Lab, the average effective tariff rate in this economy right now is 18.2%
Let me put that another way.
President Trump has raised taxes on American businesses and consumers by -- on average -- 18.2%

A thing I really need people to keep in mind: 15% tariffs are high, historically speaking. 10% tariffs are high.
The average effective tariff rate before this term was just over 2%. Anything double-digits is high!
