Only One Thing Explains Trump’s Tariff Madness

Don’t fall for the "coherence fallacy." The president believes (mistakenly) that he’s figured out how to get rid of the progressive income tax.

By Timothy Noah

 

 

We Will Win. But First, We Fight. 

Sponsored by Rachel Carson Council

As Trump and Musk continue their coup, defenders of democracy have been meeting the moment in protest. We need to keep up the fight to uphold the constitution, defend bedrock environmental protections, combat attacks on free speech in academia, and more.

Of Course Trump Will Tank the Economy. It’s What Republicans Do.

As the president’s "Liberation Day" nears, it’s time to liberate ourselves from the vicious cycle of Democrats having to clean up the GOP’s messes.

By Michael Tomasky

 

The Forgotten Dystopian Vision That Explains Trump’s Canada Obsession

The president’s outlandish fixation on annexing Canada and Greenland makes sense when you understand his worldview. It’s pretty similar to one articulated in 1941.

By Seva Gunitsky

 
 
 

Build Community in Trying Times 

Sponsored by Americans United for Separation of Church and State

The Summit for Religious Freedom is the hub for our collective fight for religious freedom, church-state separation, and the issues that depend on them like LGBTQ+ rights, reproductive rights, protecting public schools, strengthening our democracy and more.

The Trump administration just admitted that a Salvadoran man was deported in error. Shockingly, Trump and JD Vance don’t seem to want to fix their mistake—and the implications of that are dark.

By Greg Sargent

 

Obama’s Blistering New Takedown of Trump Gives Dems a Way Forward

In an appearance on Thursday, the former president laid out the connection between Trump’s lawlessness and—yes—the price of eggs. Will other Democrats follow?

By Greg Sargent

 

Donald Trump Fell for Elon Musk’s Big Con

The Tesla and SpaceX CEO spent a pittance to help Trump get elected, and now the president is doing everything in his power to make Musk even richer—at Trump’s own political expense.

By Ross Rosenfeld

 
 

Trump’s Power Grab Has Begun. Help Us Expose It.

Trump is breaking laws, purging watchdogs, and fast-tracking Project 2025—a plan to seize control and silence dissent. We’re following every move, but we need your support to keep going.

 

This fight depends on people like you stepping up. Will you help us hold the line?

Yes, I’ll help!
 

The Fight for the Post-Trump Future Has Already Begun

How Democrats choose to confront DOGE’s corrupt destruction today will determine whether America recovers—and who will lead that recovery.

By Jason Linkins

 

Forget Expensive Eggs. Here’s the "Bigger Picture" of Trump’s Misrule.

Cost-of-living issues are important, but there’s an even more critical story that’s crying out for Democrats’ attention.

By Alex Shephard
