Bravo to Pope Leo, for denouncing Trump’s threat to destroy Iran’s ‘whole civilization.’ We need those with moral authority to speak out against our president’s abuses of power.

Any deal with Iran would probably be a bad one. But sending ground troops to seize Iranian territory would be an even worse choice.

Trump is still trying to find other ways to slap tariffs on imports. If he follows through, we'll pay an estimated $330 billion more for goods this year — over $2,500 per household. Remember that his first round of illegal tariffs didn't even work. We LOST manufacturing jobs. Hello?
