Medium-term here is that Trump’s tariff bonanza has the possibility of stoking the growing abundance agenda movement in Democratic politics. It’s somewhat tailor made to be a vehicle for negative polarization on that as well as general Dem lessons learned from inflation

I've argued for and supported a ban or forced sale of TikTok since 2018. The argument I made 6 years ago was that if we do not act now, looking at the growth curve, the service will become so popular that lawmakers will find themselves in an impossible position and a ban will never happen Unfortunately that is exactly what has now happened and now a horrible precedent exists. To any foreign government out there the message is that you are allowed to enter US markets under any pretense, with zero reciprocity for US companies, and as long as you are popular and influential enough the US government and population will go out of its way to facilitate your access If we are going to go to such extraordinary lengths for a foreign company and government Trump must make a demand of absolute reciprocity. Meta, X, Google, Snapchat, and all other US based technology companies must be allowed total market access in China immediately with zero control by the Chinese Government Now when the Chinese government inevitably laughs at this demand, ask yourself why. They correctly see Meta, X, Facebook, and Google as instruments of US soft power and as cultural contamination of their civic ideal which undermines their hold on power We however seem to naively believe we're immune from the same influence and have waited so long to act now that we face terrible choices. The one we've made inevitably means we will have a natural experiment now of what it means to allow a government which actively seeks to undermine our civic institutions with the most powerful known technological tool to do so

New Jersey joins the growing list of states and countries that are making schools phone-free. @GovMurphy says "Enough is enough." It teachers agree, as do most parents.

In CBO’s projections, the U.S. population increases from 350 million people in 2025 to 372 million in 2055, and the average age rises. Beginning in 2033, annual deaths exceed annual births, and net immigration accounts for the growth.

Rep. Brittany Petersen says she's unable to travel to Washington for votes due to her pregnancy. She's leading a bipartisan resolution to allow expecting + new parents to proxy votes. “It’s unreasonable that the House refuses to make any accommodations for people who are pregnant or welcoming a new child," she said in statement. "We will continue to fight to bring our resolution to the floor for a vote and will work on measures like this to make Congress more accessible to young families."
