Political violence is never acceptable. I disagree with Charlie Kirk on just about everything, but in America, he has the right to speak his mind. Heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.

The accused assassin allegedly used data brokers to track down the Democratic lawmakers he murdered. Congress doesn't need any more proof that selling data to anyone with a credit card is deadly. Every American's safety is at risk until Congress cracks down on data brokers.
The man accused of shooting two Minnesota Dems allegedly found their addresses online. That has prompted some lawmakers to call for tighter oversight on how personal info is shared online.

Step 1. Announce arbitrary tariffs for each country
Step 2. When markets crash, pause those tariffs and say they're just leverage for deals
Step 3. Promise deals
Step 4. Fail to make deals

...and yes, I find it hard to keep my cool, sometimes.
