As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget.

Perhaps the most disastrous thing he's done yet, although it's still early. (Is this really only Week One?)

RIP Victor Brombert, age 101, the last of the six Ritchie Boys I wrote about in Sons and Soldiers. Born to Russian Jewish émigrés, he grew up in France. As a member of the first armored unit to land at Normandy, he played a key role in the battle to liberate his beloved France.
