The U.S. is imposing a 25% tariff on Korea because of trade deficits that it claims are "engendered by Korea's Tariff and Non Tariff, Policies and Trade Barriers." But Korea has a free trade agreement with the U.S. It charges zero tariffs on nearly everything.

Alongside all the concerns about Pete Hegseth's character and competence, I've worried most about whether he'd follow an unlawful order from Trump for the US military to use force at home. When it's time to confirm the next Sec of Defense, the Senate must hold the nominee to a very high standard.

This comes as Hegseth is again mired in controversy over sharing military operational details in a group chat.

I remain in awe of the blatant cruelty of the Trump admin. Policy change and even disruption to a degree is understandable. But why is it so intentionally cruel? Is this what the US has been reduced to? Is the country devoid of empathy? 1/ www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04...

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Here's a story from South Korea that can inspire the "Hands Off!" events taking place in the United States: how a mix of street protests and responsive democratic institutions prevailed in a political crisis.

How South Korea’s Democracy Prevailed Over a Reckless Leader (Gift Article)

The rise and fall of Yoon Suk Yeol exposed a vulnerability in South Korean democracy, but also a resilience. Its people were always ready to fight for it.

Trump's latest vague comments on Kim Jong Un will add to worries in S Korea about being bypassed in any potential US-N Korea diplomacy, especially with the fate of impeached and suspended SK president Yoon still uncertain. Trump might hold off on N Korea until S Korea has a president in power again.

The court victory yesterday for South Korea's Democratic Party leader smooths the way for him to run again for the presidency. But further cases against him are pending, and the real cliffhanger is this: when will the Constitutional Court decide the fate of impeached and suspended president Yoon?

The only good that could possibly emerge from the disgraceful Oval Office ambush against Zelenskyy would be for public opinion in the US and worldwide to turn so decisively against Trump that pressure finally builds in Washington to stop all the damage from his wrecking ball of a presidency.

The way you can tell this is made up is from the claim that there are “quite a few” feds making “a few hundred thousand” And the way you can tell someone’s an a**hat is when they call a few hundred thousand a “low salary”

America’s allies should be deeply concerned about Pete Hegseth’s confirmation hearing. America’s enemies, meanwhile, are almost certainly laughing in amazement at their unexpected good fortune. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

On Thursday I submitted a manuscript that I hope will be my 11th authored/coauthored book. I write books that deal with the presidency — I’ve never felt a greater sense of urgency about the fate of that office and of the entire American experiment. We’ve had mediocrities before but never someone

The prayer that Mike Johnson attributed to Thomas Jefferson did not come from Jefferson. It came from a 1928 Episcopal prayer book. But the idea that *Jefferson* said it; that it is evidence the US was founded as a “Christian nation” … hoo boy where *that* came from is … well not surprising actually

Next year my publisher will be issuing a new printing of ‘The Lost Soul of the American Presidency’ that includes a new preface written after the recent presidential election. Needless to say, things have gotten worse.

This sums up what I’ve been hearing as well. The South Korean public wants to hold Yoon accountable for his abuse of power but Lee Jae-myung, the most prominent opposition leader and likely to run in a snap election, is an incredibly polarizing figure. I hope the Democratic Party is taking note.
