Opinion | One Sentence in the Constitution Is Causing America Huge Problems

Instead of declaring, “The executive power shall be vested in a president of the United States of America,” Article II should read, “A president of the United States of America shall execute laws passed by Congress.”

A week from today, @multco.bsky.social is scheduled to vote on adopting our annual budget. Until then, no budget decisions are final.

Following our budget process can be a lot to track. Here are the latest updates as we approach a final, balanced budget.

The ‘China Shock’ Offers a Lesson. It Isn’t the One Trump Has Learned. (Gift Article) Economists say the U.S. manufacturing decline in recent decades was not mainly about free trade, but about the pace of change without time to adjust.

The lesson of the "China shock" isn't actually about trade. It's about how hard it is for workers and communities to adapt to rapid economic changes. Now Trump is trying to reshape the global economy overnight, with potentially devastating consequences.

Trump just justified his pardon of violent Jan. 6 rioters by pointing to Portland, saying “nothing happened to anybody” after riots there.

That’s not true. Many people got prosecuted. Some got multi-year prison terms. One is set to be in prison until 2031.
