During a town hall event at a barbershop in the Bronx—yes, really—this week, former President Donald Trump was asked about the possibility of eliminating the federal income tax. How he answered revealed something about how Trump understands fiscal policy—and something important about what he doesn’t, despite having spent nine years either campaigning for the president […]
Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris at the September 2024 presidential debate on ABC News. (CHINE NOUVELLE/SIPA/Newscom)  In this post I am going to explain why Kamala Harris is a far lesser evil than Donald Trump, and therefore, I plan to vote for her.

Does Tim Walz know what a libertarian is? The Minnesota governor and Democratic vice presidential candidate referenced the libertarian philosophy during a recent appearance on Jon Stewart’s The Daily Show.

Tim Walz as her running mate, she doubled that distinction.
