Trump appears to be single-handedly deciding to use an old aircraft carrier launch system over the Navy’s preference. He doesn’t seem to have a good reason to do this.

Different entities better survived the bronze age collapse than others. Does the United States have the planning and nimbleness to well-survive nearby challenges?

Trump’s bombastic behavior of threats, tariffs, and war are making the world more skeptical of the United States. China is taking advantage of that and arguing that they are the more reliable power.

Bessent and Trump are going to war with the bond market, but the current interest rate is a bill to be paid, not an enemy to be fought.

The post-covid inflation was caused roughly 2/3s by supply issues and 1/3 by demand.
The Fed recognizing that the drivers were temporary, meaning they did not need to raise interest rates to crushing levels, and making clear that they were sticking to a specific interest rate target, helped create the soft landing, although the plane didn’t 100% land and instead stayed hovering above the ground. The landing was likely prevented by Trump-driven shocks.

“The U.S. said on Wednesday it had disrupted a Chinese hacking operation responsible for break-ins and attempts on the Justice Department, NASA, the Federal Reserve, the Senate, and other sensitive government agencies.”

The Supreme Court keeps seeing blatantly unlawful action by the Trump administration, and then ending injunctions and allowing it to go forward anyways while the case works its way through the process. It looks like the Supreme Court is making up doctrines in order to enable lawlessness. The Supreme Court did not act like this toward Biden.

The DSA has shown that they can win some blue districts, but they haven’t shown that they can win elections that, without their supposed DSA advantages, would have been won by a Republican.
The socialist politician to have won the most support on a national level is Bernie Sanders, and he is not a member of the DSA.
Republicans love running against the DSA and right-wing media likes plastering Democrats as the DSA, but Democrats are not the DSA. We are talking about a handful of successful politicians, not most Democrats.

The US demanded that Canada give the US control over Canada’s trade policy with other countries. The US also demanded that US companies streaming shows in Canada not be required to order the shows shown to users based on Canada’s cultural preferences. The US wanted Canada to end its Buy Canada program that it put in place in response to US tariffs without offering to cancel the US tariffs that caused this program. The US demanded that the US could change certain terms of the deal at any time.
Ridiculous and demeaning demands on a long-time ally. Ruining such a relationship is not good for the United States.
