We’re nine weeks from the midterm election, and we’re starting to see a lot of anxiety, frustration on the part of the Republicans.

Maggie Litz Domanowski sits on the Baltimore County school board. Over the weekend she shared a Peanuts panel—Linus with a sign: if you think MAGA is coming for women’s rights, you should learn about Sharia.

Last July at Turnberry, Donald Trump sat Ursula von der Leyen down and traded a threatened 30 percent tariff wall for a framework. Fifteen percent on most European goods heading into America.
