My friend Dan Glickman’s memoir, “Laughing At Myself,” is being republished. Check it out. It’s a great & humorous read.

 News Alert: Nippon Steel now owns 100% of US Steel, paying $14.1 billion. The company will also retain its name and Pittsburgh headquarters. This is a good deal for steelmaking in the USA. Trump was right to reverse Biden’s misguided decision.

Here’s my latest oped with Dan Glickman on tariffs and US disengagement. msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opin…

Trump's governance is wrongly isolating America from the rest of the world

Trump has further isolated America and created a crisis of competence and confidence in the United States government.

Ag Sec Rollins said on CNN @Jaketapper today that the US exports no corn to Mexico & no dairy to Canada. Wrong on both counts. In 2024, we exported $5.6 billion in corn to Mexico and $1 billion in dairy to Canada. After Mexico & Canada retaliate, the Secretary could be right.🤦‍♂️

Here’s a better link to my previous post on tariffs. thehill.com/opinion/4916062-…

Donald Trump’s tariff plan could bring us back to the 1930s 

Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs on imports would likely lead to a depression similar to the Great Depression, as seen in the Smoot-Hawley tariff act of 1930, which caused the global trade to …

Former Ag Sec Dan Glickman & I wrote this piece on tariffs last October. Hate to say “I told you so,” but…… thehill.com/opinion/4916...(Actually, I love telling you “I told you so.”)

Political earth quake in Lancaster County, PA. A state senate seat flipped that no Republican should ever lose. Lancaster has been the most reliable Republican County in PA for decades. Is anyone nationally paying attention? Watch the FL spec election for Mike Waltz seat.

So saddened by the passing of my former colleague, U.S. Rep. Mia Love of Utah. Such a kind and delightful person taken from us at such a young age. Condolences to Mia’s lovely family and many friends. Deepest sympathies.

My latest oped on the recent CR: msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opin…

Senate Democrats had a no-win position. Chuck Schumer made the right call.

Schumer understood things could get much worse for federal employees and congressional Democrats during a shutdown.

Disgraceful display today in the Oval Office by DJT & JDV who bullied & disrespected Zelensky publicly. 80 years of transatlantic partnership is blown up to appease Putin. Trump betrayed Ukraine as well as American values & interests in Europe. The Greatest Generation weeps.

Trump has discarded 80 years of American leadership and engagement in Europe that has prevented Great Power conflict and WWIII.  He undermined our country’s interests to betray Ukraine and appease Putin. Utterly dishonorable & shameful.

Trump’s detestable comments regarding Zelensky willfully ignore the sacrifices of the Greatest Generation who bequeathed to us a world without great power conflict for 8 decades. #Reprehensible.

Trump said Ukraine started the war with Russia. A truly shameful comment, a total betrayal of Ukraine & appeasement of Putin. Europe disrespected & America’s own self interest undermined by POTUS.

I’ve seen firsthand the good work USAID does to help those in need & counter Chinese influence. My oped just posted on The Hill. thehill.com/opinion/5134684-…

Shuttering USAID is a win for China and a loss for America 

Former Congressman Charles W. Dent argues that dismantling USAID would undermine American security, economic prosperity and geopolitical leadership, and hand a major victory to China, our greatest …

Yesterday Biden admin rightly approved a military sale (AMRAMMs) to Japan. Today Biden inexplicably blocked the Nippon-US Steel deal for national security reasons . Yesterday Japan was a key national security partner; today Japan is a national security threat. Absurdly shameful.

My latest oped on the release of the Ethics Committee report on Matt Gaetz msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opin…

The Matt Gaetz ethics report should be required Christmas reading

The circumstances justify the report’s release despite his resignation.

Attached is an oped I wrote for the Washington Examiner on Foreign Direct Investment & Nippon-US Steel deal. washingtonexaminer.com/resto…

The economy needs more foreign direct investment, not less

Foreign direct investment has always been integral to economic growth in the United States. We've seen foreign companies bring not just capital but

A cool thing I'm learning about my new job, "Have I Got News For You," is that every week we've got cool and interesting guests. This week: former Congressman Charlie Dent and SNL writer Rosebud Baker. Both excellent guests for different reasons. Hope you guys enjoy tomorrow.
