Harris Faulkner on how Trump should talk to "401k people" worried about tariffs hurting them: "Look, when this nation used to go to war, people in this country would support the war effort with their materials at home and making things for weaponry. We have to do 100% buy in over this bumpy period"

We're watching many of America's elite institutions - corporations, universities, law firms, nonprofits, more - systematically capitulate to an authoritarian regime rather than fight it.
At such a time, individual courage to do so becomes even more important. Resist, and remember those who didn't.
