In Trump’s America, he decides what you need and what you don’t. He has decreed families don’t need more than “1 or 2 dolls”” for their daughters and don’t need more than “2 or 3 pencils”.

[Insert Yakov Smirnoff set up lines].

What a country!
Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

THIS is how you frame the tariffs. Please watch.
Economics isn't just about outcomes, it's about stories. If the president doesn't win the battle of ideas or honestly explain trade-offs, people assume they're being gamed. Even decent numbers won't feel good without straight talk about who pays for what.

Bad framing: ACIP voted to scrap the universal hepatitis B vaccine recommendation for newborns.

Accurate framing: Anti-vax conspiracy theorists appointed to ACIP by Robert Kennedy Jr., who made a fortune as an anti-vax profiteer, voted to expose babies to a preventable, incurable, deadly illness.

The CEOs of Ford and Stellantis, as well as senior executives from other auto manufacturers, standing beside him while Trump goes off on another vicious racist rant about African immigrants. Not one of them had the courage or the dignity to walk away.

Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

“You cannot learn or grow while trying to appear as if you have everything figured out. You cannot talk to God by trying to avoid doing something wrong. Perfection is stagnation,” the concert pianist Jonathan Bliss writes in a guest essay.
Opinion | A Classical Pianist’s Plea: Make Messy Art
It is not only classical musicians who are being stunted by the search for perfection. It is harming many aspects of our lives and sectors of our society.

Somewhat late, but One Battle After Another really is that good. Fantastic action movie that is impossibly perfect for the political moment, up there with PTA’s best, earns the use of the Battle of Algiers clip midway through. See it.

The trump regime is not a functioning government, it's an organized crime syndicate and should be treated as such.

This absolutely includes the SCOTUS BigotWizards, with their proven ongoing corruption, who would strip away our basic human rights.
