USAID Gutted! — Who’s Next?

DOGE is ripping through the federal government like a tornado. This morning it has been reporting that DOGE sent out firing notices to 9,400 USAID employees, leaving only 611.

Can Trump's Tariffs Lead To Trouble?

President Trump made it clear during his presidential campaign that tariffs will be a part of his policy-making. He has followed through on that. Tariffs are risky. Yes, they can be used as a political tool, and can get results. But tariffs can also turn very bad, especially when egos are revved up.
