Economist Brent Neiman explains the idiocy of Trump's tariffs formula.
First, the idea that a trade imbalance deserves tariffs:
"The Nobel laureate Robert Solow explained why when he quipped, “I have a chronic deficit with my barber, who doesn’t buy a darned thing from me.” "

ICE wrongfully arrested a man while his 5-year-old autistic child sat in the backseat—and shipped him off to an El Salvador prison. No due process. Now the Trump administration claims they can’t get him back.
How many more?
THIS NEEDS TO BE A BIGGER STORY.

This is a crisis.
The murder rate is ten times higher than the US national average for women living on reservations.
Murder is the third leading cause of death for Native women.

💔Emily Pike a 14-year-old girl from the San Carlos Apache Tribe in AZ. Missing for weeks. Murdered & dismembered. Major news networks are barely covering her case. This pattern is painfully familiar to Native families fighting for justice in the MMIP crisis.The least we can do is share her story.

New in PN: How Trump's lawyers are trying to make him a king
"In practical terms, if Trump gets SCOTUS to agree he has unfettered power to remove members of independent regulatory agencies, their independence is over. No more will they issue decisions that don’t reflect his policy preferences."

One way to resist? Read more, use the library, buy from local bookstores, post reviews, talk about the books you're reading, read banned books. Anything to do with reading, and books, they seem to hate. Stay educated, and continue reading.

If, for various reasons, you find yourself with a tighter budget in the coming months/years (or just want to save/invest as much as possible), remember to take full advantage of your local library — and not just for books.
