“Trump is trying to solve a problem, but Putin, as we’ve been told, consults Peter the Great, Ivan the Terrible and Catherine the Great for his vision,” said William Courtney, adjunct senior fellow at Rand and a former U.S. ambassador. “He thinks in terms of empire.”

Mr. Trump has warned of an economic catastrophe if the Court rules that his emergency tariffs are unconstitutional.

The challenge before many of us is to channel our fear and grief about the climate crisis into choices that safeguard the future: how we provide aid to the most vulnerable, and how we heat and cool our homes, travel, eat and, above all, vote.

It was also an ideological referendum, and progressivism lost.
