The three worst presidents in US history (Herbert Hoover, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump) were all hailed for their business background and skills. Time to retire the trope that businessmen know anything about running nation states.

The Washington Post · Inside President Trump’s whirlwind decision to upend global tradeBy Natalie Allison

Today In Labor History April 4, 1866: Russian revolutionary, Dmitry Karakozov attempted to assassinate Czar Alexander II. He failed and the government executed him. Some believe that Karakozov chose the year 1866, since that was the year in which a character in Chernyshevsky’s “What Is To Be Done?” planned to launch a revolution. In the book, the protagonist, Vera Pavlovna, escapes a controlling family, and an arranged marriage, to start a socialist cooperative and a truly egalitarian romantic partnership. She starts a seamstress commune, with shared living quarters, profit-sharing and an on-site school to further the women’s education. Chernyshevsky wrote the novel in response to Turgenev’s “Fathers and Sons.” He wrote the book while imprisoned in the Peter and Paul fortress. The book inspired generations of Russian radicals, including the nihilists, anarchists and even many Marxists.

Meanwhile, boomers.... Hope you weren't counting on your *earned* social security benefits!

Musk is coming for Social Security, and its prior head thinks the agency will crater within 90 days.... bye bye benefits.

(The #disinformation story line is that immigrants have been receiving benefits. Nope.)

Just saw him speak w/ Stephanie Ruhle. ⚠️

X (formerly Twitter)Martin O'Malley (@MartinOMalley) on XThis will cripple the agency that has already been paralyzed by President Musk and President Trump. Our seniors deserve so much better. https://t.co/O74nZ6I7v3
