As long as Sky After Dark remains the Liberal Party’s policy incubator, expect more trash-tier pre-selections and policy ideas straight from the bin.

When stupidity & authoritarianism meet…
This is the dumbest thing ever. Literally everyone knows Trump’s tariffs will be paid by consumers at retail. He can’t seriously expect businesses to eat the extra cost.
This isn’t just about Walmart—it’s about every American-owned business, big and small.

This is scary and highlights something that's painfully obvious in DC: smart people either don't want to work in this administration or are being turned away. But effective government - especially when crisis strikes - depends on having smart people around. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
