Matthew Moroun’s family runs the Ambassador Bridge — which will face competition from the Gordie Howe project — and has fought it for years. Extraordinarily, the President upended a major trade project right after that billionaire chatted with the Commerce Secretary. newrepublic.com/article/2064...
Trump Tirade Over Bridge to Canada Backfires, Handing Dems 2026 Weapon
His corrupt threat to block the opening of the Gordie Howe Bridge is about to become a big albatross around the necks of GOP candidates in pivotal Michigan.

This looked to be just one more Trumpian tantrum, which pops up when he sees something distressing on television or is spoken to by a woman without the self-abasement he demands. But this was something even worse: An episode that sums up Trumpian economics in all its stupidity and atavistic sleaze.

None of the fake grievance that birthed Kid Rock's All-American Halftime Show made it onto the stage. Bad Bunny wasn’t mentioned. There was no attempt to say why a Puerto Rican performing at halftime was so offensive that this alternate universe needed to exist. www.jezebel.com/turning-poin...

It’s hard to mount a culture war when your big counteroffensive looks like a youth-group lock-in made up of kids who found God in a megachurch but lost their personality somewhere in suburban Atlanta....

The people want affordability. After initially calling the concept a “hoax,” Trump has begun unveiling his own agenda to bring down prices and increase Americans’ purchasing power. But each of his proposals would make the affordability problem worse, not better. www.theatlantic.com/economy/2026...

His proposals to lower prices are all more likely to raise them.

I'm absolutely certain he will do everything to "ensure the midterms can't be rigged" (which will of course only be a possibility in blue states). He has already broken so many laws a few more won't matter anymore.

We’re 10 months away from the midterms. Let’s take stock: We have a corrupt and incompetent president whom we are powerless to rein in. When the time comes to rein him in, he will do everything he can to nullify the electoral process and reverse the voters’ will. newrepublic.com/article/2063...

The central lesson of chaos theory is not that small actions escalate into larger ones, but that our actions exist alongside others in a system so complex that individual effects are impossible to determine. We have to plead ignorance to the true causes of daily events. bigthink.com/books/life-l...
The profound life lesson at the heart of chaos theory
Chaos theory explains why tiny actions can shape entire lives, revealing the limits of prediction, control, and blame.

Our nation’s attempts at understanding ourselves are continuously undercut. For some single-issue voters, race is the single issue. Not the price of bacon or their religious convictions. Just the promise of having a safe space for prejudice in the White House. www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...
Column: Trump keeps reminding us why people support him. It's the racism
Why did Harris lose? A lot of single-issue voters just want a champion for their white supremacist worldview.

Let Trump Keep Building Monuments to Himself 🍊🤡 Moments of abject abnormality highlight the self-serving nature of Trump’s presidency. He separates families. He sends masked agents to terrorize Americans. These moments force everyone to gaze upon Trump’s true face www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...

The president’s penchant for gilded statues and self-glorification might at least help clarify the nature of his leadership.

It is testimony to the marketing genius of Donald Trump that he never sold himself to Christians as one of them — pious, devoted, merciful, forgiving, irenic, biblically literate, a faithful husband and father. Instead, he sold himself as their protector. He didn’t hide his cruelty. It worked. 😳
