Elong Musk is having a blast. On his social media site X, he regularly trolls critics. Earlier this month, for example, he asked a simple question: “Would you like @DOGE to audit the IRS?” Chuck Schumer is not amused. via @WSJopinion

Donald Trump started out the day about to impose tariffs on Canada and Mexico. But it ended with a pause, after phone calls with Justin Trudeau and Claudia Sheinbaum. Did they make an offer he didn’t want to refuse?
