Even if you accept the BS idea that “both sides” need to de-escalate, it is hard to see sending Homan in as an effort by the Trump Administration to reduce tensions. (Contrast with Walz’s repeated calls for calm, deployment of law enforcement to rein in protests, etc.)

Homan's visit comes as Minnesotans navigate the deaths of two Minneapolis residents at the hands of federal officers in less than a month.

I know it's hard for the WaPo to get competent headline writers, but Trump is NOT putting tariffs on European countries. He is imposing taxes on goods we import from European countries. The tax is on us, not them www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Canada breaks with US, slashes 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs to 6%
In a massive shift in North American trade policy, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced today a new “strategic partnership” with China that effectively reopens the Canadian border to Chinese electric vehicles.
The move marks a significant departure from the United States’ hardline protectionist stance and could bring affordable EV options like the BYD Seagull to Canadian roads as early as this year.

It follows that Trump leaked the most market-moving economic numbers that exist.
I have no idea how illegal this is, or if the law even matters any more.
But I do know this: It's unprecedented. No White House has ever before leaked such important market-moving numbers. No serious country does this

If you are anxious and sad about the state of the world, that's fine, and there are plenty of strategies for dealing with that. But I think you already know that drive-by online dooming isn't a strategy. It's selfish and adolescent. It's a contagion that only spreads the worst of you, not the best.
