The Promise of American Higher Education

Here is a chilling explanation of Trump's tariff insanity.
Trump is intentionally following Herbert Hoover’s playbook that caused the Great Depression. The only question is Why?! My new article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/trump-is-f...

An authoritative review of Trump's tariff lunacy from The Economist. It will cause economic growth to slow, possibly to recessionary levels. It will especially hurt Ohio auto manufacturers, farmers, and our logisics and distribution industry.

Did you know that GOP budget resolution shockingly eliminates “$40 million in election security grant funding.” Why would Republicans want the 2026 election less secure? We know. It's so that Trump, Musk and anyone else on their side can rig the election. This is happening right in front of our eyes

For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now
