Trump's battles with data, DC, and world trade
In the past week, President Donald Trump has imposed sweeping tariffs on dozens of countries – and made moves to suppress signs of a weakening economy.

They also cover his recent threats to take federal control of D.C., and the latest on how the Justice Department is pursuing investigations into Trump’s perceived political enemies.

Often, when I am around people I love, and one of us is looking at our phone, the other will say "What's happening on your phone?" This is embarrassing. It is so rare that anything is happening on the phone. About 99 percent of the time, the other person says "nothing," and puts their phone down. I see this in people in every generation. No one is immune.
