Trump is not the unfortunate victim of job βlossesβ; he is destroying jobs, especially manufacturing jobs. And in savaging medical and scientific grants and going to war with universities, Trump is further undercutting one of Americaβs greatest sources of long-term growth and productivity
Really, did we βloseβ jobs, as in βmisplaceβ them, like car keys or reading glasses? And for whom was this unexpected? Letβs get real. The jobs were not βlost,β and it is not as much of a shocker as legacy outlets made it out to be.

Trump Thinks He Can Gain Historic Glory.. the brilliant thoughts of Aaron David Miller, putting Iran in historical context and explaining how Trump and Bibi think. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...
Yes, here we are.
In Warβs First Week, a Punishing Military Campaign With No Coherent Endgame ... outrageous, unacceptable and a terrific argument for throwing every R out of Congress www.nytimes.com/2026/03/07/u...

My day at #standupforscience in DC was truly inspiring

Fantastic event with inspiration from @raskin.house.gov at #standupforscience in DC
incredible ineptitude: "Unprepared for Iranian drones, U.S. and partners seek Ukraineβs help"... and NOW they want Ukraine to help
Trump is having a field day manipulating dumb jocks and senseless stakeholders.

Magnificent: The arc of this story is not defined by the barriers imposed but by the progress that outlasts them. Black voters have always been central to that progress and will remain so.

We didn't "lose" jobs. Trump killed them.

and Brent's Oil soars to $90 because, of course, Trump's statement is insane unless he wants to invade a country with 90M people.
exactly: Democrats overwhelmingly supported the war powers resolutions because it is painfully clear that the White House lacks a clear strategy on Iran. We can stand with our allies, including Israel, without launching a war with no clear objectives or end. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...
On the Ground in the Middle East.. fascinating reporting from the region open.substack.com/pub/contrari...
Forcing Trump to wrestle with the consequences of his own erratic decisions and steering their own countries clear of the conflict would make far more sense than betting Trump will suddenly develop heretofore-unseen competence.

Trump announced he would nominate Mullin, widely regarded as one of the dimmer bulbs in the Senate and lacking any college education, to replace her. Knowing the R senatorsβ utter spinelessness and disinclination to exercise any quality control he lwill get through open.substack.com/pub/contrari...
Trump can be forced to retreat when Democrats go on attack, embarrass his incompetent and dishonest lackeys, and effectively deploy free media. Thatβs a strategy to be used again and again. My suggestion for the next Cabinet member: Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Brent Crude over $90. When it hits $100 MAGA GOP's will light their hair on fire
Trump economy in crapper. Dow and jobs down, growth down, costs (espec gas prices) up. And he's spending $1B on an unneccessary, illegal war.
I agree. The Israeli "opposition" is just as culpable and just as blind. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

We should abolish the United States Senate. It serves no purpose.
Now Senate can put hold on Mullin until Dems DHS demands are met
