So you and I and everyone else are in effect now refunding American corporations for import tariffs, although we paid for most of them in the form of higher prices — which they won’t now lower because they have monopoly power to keep prices high.

I think my brain merged Columbia with Challenger and filed them both in '86, because my memories of "Challenger" are way more vivid than they should be
I haven’t said anything because I’m superstitious but now I can: hi other challenger trauma kids who also ended up working their whole lives to be like Ronald McNair. Unclench your jaw.
Mfs act like the Kent State Massacre never happened.
"Why don't Americans—" we do. That's why many of my friends are in prison or dead.
Donald Trump must be removed from office for threatening war crimes and genocide.
Speaker Johnson: bring the House back into session.
Invoking the 25th Amendment and impeachment must be on the table, but Congress should also move on a War Powers resolution to stop Trump.

Gen X collectively reliving Challenger, Columbia and Cold War nuclear holocaust anxiety all in the same week is a fucking lot, y'all.
He still needs to be removed from office. A war powers resolution will not suffice. He circumvented Congress to start the war. He circumvented them on tariffs and appropriations. Why anyone thinks he'd adhere to a Congressional war powers resolution is beyond me.

Donald Trump must be removed from office. Not only is he waging an illegal war—he’s threatening war crimes.
To the members of our military: remember, you do not have to follow illegal orders.
People on here rightly are pissed by the way Democratic politicians post as if they are witnesses to what's happening instead of ACTORS in what's happening. It's absolutely pathetic and weak.
Remember all this nonsense about the supposed inferiority of “third world” immigration? They really believed that and applied their theory to international relations and it failed. Racism makes you stupid.
This wouldn't surprise me.
It's important to fact check stuff. Anyone who says we shouldn't is sus.
Especially, when it sounds like a parody of a B-action movie from the 80s. The fact that it's real gives me the chills
Thou shalt not kill' also means 'thou shalt not let profit margins decide who lives and who dies.'

I said this in replies elsewhere, but I want to say it loudly here.
Anything other than a fullthroated affirmation of birthright citizenship in this country by SCOTUS is an act of treason. It is grounds for immediate impeachment. It is a violation of every oath they have made.
Editors’ Note: March 30, 2026: A reader recently alerted The Times that this review included language and details similar to those in a review of the same book published in The Guardian. We spoke to the author of this piece, a freelancer reviewer, who told us he used an A.I. tool that incorporated material from the Guardian review into his draft, which he failed to identify and remove. His reliance on A.I. and his use of unattributed work by another writer are a clear violation of The Times’s standards. The reviewer said he had not used A.I. in his previous reviews for The Times, and we have found no issues in those pieces. The Guardian review of “Watching Over Her” can be read here.

The allegory is so loud it's giving me a headache.

He started a war, didn’t know how to win it, was immediately over his head, became quickly overpowered by an enemy he vastly underestimated, and now is trying to sue for peace and then convince you that this was a victory. Dying empires produce leaders like this
