“When a conservative commentator told the liberal media personality Mehdi Hasan live on TV, “I hope your beeper doesn’t go off,” referencing an Israeli anti-Hezbollah operation that killed or maimed thousands of people, Torabi’s video propelled the moment across X, receiving more than 70m views.” 😳

This actually shows why tariffs are a bad way to rebuild manufacturing: they spark trade wars that close markets to products made in the USA. FDR made free trade a centerpiece of the New Deal for exactly this reason. Biden’s approach was working well.

How soon before Trump tries to fire Powell? Yes I know he can't legally, but it's not like that would stop him.

For years, Trump has attacked our election security—most infamously on Jan 6 (and nearly every day since). Now, his team is slashing funding for the very agencies that protect against election cyberattacks. Pamela Smith warns: Our democracy only works when our elections work.
