June 16, 2025, 1:52 p.m. ETEditorial board memberNo one has ever campaigned on a platform calling for the United States to maintain a permanent underclass of illegal workers. America’s immigration mess isn’t the expression of a coherent ideology. We are stuck in this unpalatable reality because no one has mustered sufficient support for mass deportation or for legalization. President Trump presented his election as an end to the stalemate — a mandate for deportation.

A few months ago, it seemed obvious that the biggest story of Donald Trump's second term as president was Elon Musk becoming his co-pilot, steering what was often called the DOGE blitzkrieg. Last week - yes, it was just last week - it was tempting to see the biggest story as the end of that partnership, with Musk's initiative yielding trivial budget savings and significant legal challenges and then ultimately a messily personal (if perhaps temporary) political divorce.

The race to fix the ozone hole remains a miraculous and under appreciated environmental success story. Also, at its peak the world was producing less than 2 million tons of ozone damaging emissions each year. Today, we produce about 20,000 times as much CO2.
A reverse exponential growth curve! Emissions of ozone-depleting substances went from peak to almost ‘Net Zero’ in less than 40 years. If we do this with CO2 the rate of global warming should - in theory - slow to a trickle. https://t.co/6C8TJGOa0J
