Black businesses need us to show up! … Trump’s so-called Liberation Day threatens to return Black entrepreneurs to an employer’s figurative plantation.
John Skilton, one of Madison’s most celebrated attorneys, dropped me a note earlier this week to which he attached the recent ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Beryl Howell that declared in strong terms that Donald Trump’s action targeting the Perkins Coie law firm is clearly unconstitutional.
Prime Minister Mark Carney is former head of the Bank of Canada and Bank of England, ideally suited by experience and calm temperament to deal effectively with President Donald Trump.
