The Trump administration is using national security concerns to reshape organized labor, with the UAW especially vulnerable. The implications extend well beyond the controversial auto and student workers union.

Although it couldn’t happen to a more deserving company, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s disclosure that he’s investigating Lululemon for toxic “forever chemicals” smacks of performance politics.
Paxton’s press release briefly wiped out billions in Lululemon’s market value before any facts were established — violating the principle that even corporations are innocent until proven guilty.
Here’s why Deere’s $99 million class action settlement with farmers could become GM CEO Mary Barra’s next major problem after misjudging American demand for electric vehicles.
America has an elitist hierarchy problem.
The people who build and repair things get mocked.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker this month delivered the final indignity to one of the Biden administration’s green energy bets: Lion Electric’s former U.S. electric bus factory is being taken over by a manufacturer of conventional diesel equipment.
The U.S., Canadian, and Quebec governments poured hundreds of millions into Lion. School districts were promised buses that never arrived. In Quebec, roughly 1,200 electric buses were pulled off the road after a fire triggered safety concerns, canceling scores of bus routes and even forcing some school service centres to cancel classes.
Lion was hardly the Biden administration’s only EV debacle. Proterra followed a similar path—subsidized demand, rapid scaling, and eventual collapse.
The corporate media has largely treated these failures as nothingburgers. The policymakers who committed taxpayer money on both sides of the border should be held accountable.
President Biden five years ago hailed GM CEO Mary Barra for leading the world’s EV transformation.
Today, Biden’s climate savior presides over one of the most gas-thirsty vehicle lineups in America. After President Trump’s reelection, GM was also the only major global automaker that couldn’t be bothered to publish a sustainability report.
Jeffrey Epstein destroyed lives.
He also did business with some of the most powerful lawyers and banks in America.
Careers fell. Institutions didn’t.

Here’s why Trump supporters should be at the front of the line demanding Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s resignation over the Gordie Howe Bridge debacle.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. President Trump can take pride that leading political and business figures mimic his rhetoric and tone.
His critics should consider the implications.
