A number of pundits, especially Republican pundits, interpreted Trump’s win in 2024 as a permanent political realignment proving that post–World War II liberalism was dead.

The U.S. Mint had released a new $1 coin featuring the image of a simpleminded gargoyle. With inadvertent candor-through-incompetency it also commemorates the end of LIBERTY in 2026. That will probably be true if we don’t take the midterms.

Who else remembers the last bout of stagflation? All this came about because Trump and his nitwits imagined that the US position in the world rested on its military force .. as if that's how a mere 4.2% of global population somehow arranged things to get 25%+ of global GDP. Fail.

Just remember these things whenever you hear MAGA bloviating about trans kids wanting to play softball. The sad reality is that adult males are a much much much higher risk to children than drag queen story hour ever was or will be.

I was wondering if Canada was making it feasible for Haitian-Americans formerly protected under TPS to come here. Very glad to see that appears to be the case. I hope we accelerate supports and streamline this process.

In all, more than 10,000 Haitians in the Massachusetts workforce who contributed roughly $480 million a year to the local economy are being forced out, according to an immigration policy organization.

Ford went and put up a sign reading Lake Ontario, now and always, in English and French. Approval is at 32 percent, 14 percent like the renaming, and the president is spending his week losing a sign-making contest with the premier of a Canadian province.

Real world data clearly shows this isnt happening. It shows many companies have fled the US for countries with more stable trading platforms. Examples are GMs massive 1.1 billion dollar expansion in Canada and CLAAS, a large farm equipment company has returned to Germany. The mass exodus has begun.

Only someone as stupid, as shortsighted, as daft as Trump could have taken all of the many advantages of the US (as it existed in 2024 - and that's gone) and turned them upside down in such a short time. He's succeeded in uniting much of the world .. against the US. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkf_...

A judge twice refused DHS a warrant for two journalists' accounts, so DHS used a customs import statute instead and got six months of one reporter's phone records from T-Mobile without telling her. No judge, no probable cause, and no customs case anywhere in it.
