The article successfully undermines its own premises...

JD Vance could yet save his political skin. But it will mean turning on Trump – and soon
...But it will take a miracle.

Conclusion
In conclusion, the analysis presented here reveals that escalating US tariffs, particularly the
proposed 60% tariff against China and 10% tariff against all other trade partners, would impose
substantial economic costs on the United States. We show that while China and other US trade
partners may experience some losses, the United States would bear most of the global efficiency
cost, with potential economic losses surpassing $910 billion if all countries retaliate.
Interestingly, many of the US's trading partners, including the EU, South Korea, and other
OECD countries, stand to benefit from trade diversion as US goods become less competitive
globally.

The findings further underscore that transatlantic cooperation in imposing tariffs against China
would mitigate some of the US's losses while amplifying the economic pain for China. This
cooperation comes at a cost, however, for the EU in terms of the forgone benefits of letting the
United States go it alone. Overall, the results highlight the complexities and far-reaching
consequences of a “fortress America” protectionist trade policy, where, in the context of a global
trade war, the United States stands to lose the most, both in terms of economic welfare and global competitiveness

I don't get it, swalwell is apparently a congressman from ca, which explains why he wanted to be guv'ner, so he should be moving between DC and Sacville (or whatever district he's supposed to represent), so why is he being prosecuted in NY?

the alleged rape (she consesnted to date he got her drunk)
One former Swalwell staffer claimed Swalwell had sexually assaulted her on more than one occasion, including in a New York hotel room in 2024 when she was too intoxicated to give consent.[96][97][98] Two of the women claimed that Swalwell sent them unsolicited images of his penis and had requested nude images of them.[99] Politico reported that a former Swalwell employee signed a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) pertaining to employment discrimination when they left his office.
