The RNC is backing Indiana’s law that bans student IDs as valid forms to vote, arguing it’s not age discrimination, just “election integrity.”
Voting rights groups say this is a direct attack on young voters.

If the new tariffs stay in place for multiple years, and are enforced and inflationary, and DOGE continues to cut and fire , we will be in a far worse situation than 2008
Hey, Mark. Assume Trump doesn't "cut deals" to reduce tariffs, and they just go into effect, as-is, if not even worse. What's the worst-case outcome. Would we face a recession comparable to 2008? Worse? As bad as the 2020 pandemic recession? Worse?

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.
Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.
