By E.J. Dionne Jr.President Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs have indeed had the effect of freeing the country—not from the global economy, as Trump claims, but from a series of flawed assumptions about who Trump is, how he operates, and how to make sense of what he is doing.

Short-term exhaustion should not be interpreted as long-term passivity. The hoary phrase “loyal opposition” still means something, and that loyalty is to the country and its Constitution, not to one person. This is where thinking about how to contain Trump should start.

Donald Trump’s first election eight years ago unleashed a wave of shock that inspired spirited organizing online and in the streets. The “resistance” was born.

Supporters of reproductive rights have won the national debate on abortion, even if it might not feel that way to them. One side can know it has prevailed in an argument when many on the other side simply stop making their case. This is the story of abortion in the 2024 campaign — and of same-sex marriage, too. kAm#6AF3=:42?D H6C6 @?46 6286C E@ 2DD2:= s6>@4C2ED @? 3@E9 :DDF6D] }@H E96J 92G6 EC2565 E96> :?[ 32?8:?8 2H2J :?DE625 @? :>>:8C2E:@?
