More precisely, the administration is reinstating tariffs that had previously been imposed on a temporary basis following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling. According to the White House, tariffs ranging from 10% to 12.5% will be applied to a number of U.S. trading partners. Roughly 60 countries, including members of the European Union, will be affected.

The Supreme Court’s shameful decision last Wednesday released a flood of memories — and worse. When I learned what Samuel Alito and the other Republican appointees to the Supreme Court did to the Voting Rights Act last week, I thought of Mickey. I met Mickey the summer after third grade. His family had rented one […]

“We will live together, as one, in paradise“—that’s the response Pierre received from the chatbot “Elize” a few hours before committing suicide.
