The list of possible suspects seemed long. It was like metaphor turned reality. After 130 days spent fighting the federal government, Elon Musk turned up with a black eye at the White House on Friday for his last day as a “special government employee.” If you squinted, you could see it: His right eye socket…

We’ve made it to Casual Friday folks, so loosen that collar and tune in. First up, Trump is continuing to melt down after being confronted with the acronym T.A.C.O. (Trump Always Chickens Out) and insists that he’s a big strong man who is doing the best trade negotiations the world has ever seen. Meanwhile, Commerce Secretary Scott Bessent admits that talks with China have stalled and that he’s not really sure when they might restart. Then David Dayen from the American Prospect joins us to talk about Trump’s failures and what they mean for trade and the global economy. Check out his work on the golden age of scams: https://prospect.org/power/2025-05-27-golden-age-of-scams/ And check out David’s other pieces and podcasts at The American Prospect here: https://prospect.org/ In the Fun Half, Karoline Leavitt has a real wackadoodle justification for the legality of Trump’s tariffs. A hero on Martha’s Vinyard has been following around ICE agents with a camera, hounding them with questions and justified hectoring. Zohran Mamdani has some positive polling numbers with less than a month left to go before the New York mayoral primary.

In 1950, though it didn’t know it yet, the American government held one of the keys to winning the Cold War: Qian Xuesen, a brilliant Chinese rocket scientist who had already transformed the fields of aerospace and weaponry. In the halls of the California Institute of Technology and M.I.T., he had helped solve the riddle…

At the top of a slender ​98-foot-tall traffic camera tower in central Seoul, Kim Hyoung-su is living under a tarpaulin shelter. It is so small he can’t stretch fully when he sleeps. But Mr. Kim has been up there for 77 days, protesting one of the biggest economic problems in South Korea — labor inequality.…

A planned merger of the Japanese and American giants, announced in 2023, has traveled through an election, two presidents and strong union opposition. A year and a half after Nippon Steel unveiled its $14 billion bid for U.S. Steel, the acquisition could be finally drawing to a close. Last week, President Trump announced what he…

Companies welcomed a court decision striking down President Trump’s tariffs. Then a stay of that ruling left no one breathing easy. Emma Mcilroy’s apparel company, Wildfang, had been working overtime to move its production out of China in the months since President Trump launched his trade war. Finding another factory that could produce jumpsuits and…

A court ruling invalidating President Trump’s sweeping tariffs was halted hours later, throwing into question the administration’s overall approach to trade. A head-spinning series of court rulings over President Trump’s signature tariffs left Washington, Wall Street and much of the world trying to discern the future of U.S. trade policy on Thursday, including whether import…

The world’s richest man created disruption and fear before giving up on revamping government. But his companies will now face less oversight.
