In the space of a week, global stock markets sold off 15–20% on the announcement of U.S. tariffs and then rallied more than 10% when Trump announced a pause of reciprocal tariffs, while leaving a cross-the-board 10% tariff in place, before giving up some of those gains the next morning.
I'll be thinking about this article all day. Article Well written and imbedded a peep of hope in the gloomy outlook that is becoming prevalent in my daily life. Great piece!
I hope this is true. I fear that even if it is, we have a great deal more damage to American institutions, and a great deal more material pain for tens of millions, to endure before the imperial presidency is finally reined in.

From panicked partisan looters and gamblers.
No, Trump's power has not peaked. He is just getting started. The story of Trump popularity is from the discredited mainstream polling that is still predicting a Harris win.
You can add 10 points to the polls on Trump and subtract 10 points from polls on Democrats.

Completely fascinating piece. Mulling this over and sharing with friends!
This contextual perspective is interesting and much appreciated. Thanks.
This is a one sided black and white look at complex issues that need to be more in balance NOT condemned as absolute limits in either direction.
To see what the real issues might be something like Ranked Choice Voting could shed some light on where the people feel the limits should be.
A little more honest reporting and education underpinning that approach would give people the chance to make INTELLIGENT CHOICES.
