Trump's claims versus reality on the economy and tariffs
Even as the Trump administration scrambles to wage war against Iran, it also must figure out a new tariff regime that can survive Supreme Court scrutiny. As usual with President Donald Trump, it's necessary to weed out his hype and braggadocio from reality. In late February, six Supreme Court justices -- three conservative and three liberal-- struck down President Trump's use of an international emergency powers statute to impose broad tariffs on imports from across the world.
Trump's first-year economy: Growth, tariffs, and rising public anxiety

Affordability crisis and AI: Kelso's universal capitalism
"Affordability" over the cost of living has been in the news a lot lately. It's popping up in political campaigns, from the governor's races in New Jersey and Virginia to the mayor's races in New York City and Seattle.

By Steven Hill, The Fulcrum The first few weeks of the Trump administration have been head-spinning. President Donald Trump and his team were well-prepared to launch their policy agenda, signing over 50 executive orders, the most in a president's first month in more than 40 years.

Minnesota Angler Boats Massive Muskie Just Inches Shy of State Record
Nic Koss has hooked muskies before, but always it has ended in frustration—including the time he was crappie fishing and nearly had a slab in the boat when a big lunge inhaled it. A July 18 outing in central Minnesota turned out different, though.
