Trump’s tariffs create chaos and higher costs for Americans — then Trump celebrates himself for ‘fixing’ the fallout. The math isn’t mathing. America needs leadership that doesn’t cause the problem in the first place.

“Battered wife” is some real word choice.

For what it’s worth, as a commander and officer it was my duty, moral obligation, and legal requirement to first question and then to not obey any illegal order I was given.
The same is true for everyone who swear their oath.
Hope that clears things up.

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.
Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

We’ve talked about how we in the media normalize (even incentivize) aberrant behavior by public figures who make it their brand.
But just imagine if an official in your city or town had told a female reporter asking about a sex abuse scandal, “Quiet, piggy.” Headlines for days.

When asked on Air Force One if there was anything "incriminating" in the Epstein emails, Trump pointed a finger at the female reporter's face and said “Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.”
