A reminder: Tariffs are a regressive tax that drives up prices on everyday goods. They disproportionately hurt the working class and poor who bear the brunt of higher costs while wealthier consumers feel significantly less impact.

DCA staffing on Wednesday was reportedly not normal — with one air traffic controller handling the job of two people.
These shortages will only be worsened by federal budget cuts and Trump's hiring freeze.
We should be investing in public workers, not attacking them.

The report, reviewed by The New York Times, said that one controller was communicating with both helicopters and planes. Those jobs are typically assigned to two people, not one.
