I don't think such events are breaking through with the public. The US is the global reserve currency on economic AND political grounds. Each chip away at that status spells doom for the US economy and its politico-military position in the world. Debt affords the US its military spending.

Has CNN lost its mind?! Why does this network seem to have a memory no longer than 5 minutes?! Good lord, "even-keeled negotiators"? Is there anything beyond their banal broadcasting, which keeps giving this grossly incompetent administration the benefit of the doubt. This is not journalism.

This is not a Trump problem. This is a Republican problem. If Trump sails off into the sunset tomorrow, this problem isn't going anywhere...

I think the outcome in Canada, with the Liberals winning and NDP holding a critical balance of seats, might be okay, for now. But too many Canadians voted for the empty shell of Conservative nonsense last night. One shining light--that fork-tongued creature, Pollievre, lost his parliamentary seat.

So, undoubtedly, it's true--the liberal state has proven a less-than-optimal vehicle for social justice. But it holds out one basic promise in two simple words: Due. Process. Lose that, and the rule of law that it accompanies, and you can kiss every other social justice project goodbye.

Seriously, what is wrong with these Democrats? What feeble, self-serving logic has to be in play with these four? Don't tell me these were 'votes of principle'. If they could just think outside their district and their Congressional position for one second! Sniff the wider political winds people...

Hey Joni Ernst, good thing you got those 'assurances' from Pete Hegseth during confirmation hearings, eh?

That SCOTUS is even taking this up for review does not bode well. They should have let the circuit ruling stand. It seems as if they are moving against lower courts to further enable administration immigration actions. How much of this is just Roberts trying to avoid a direct clash with Trump?

We are about to find out the true current status of the judiciary in the American political order. If SCOTUS confirms this order (I can't see how it won't), the rule of law will hang on the administration's subsequent actions.

Pulitzer Prize to the first journalist to ask Trump any of these questions on live TV: 1. What the fuck are you talking about? Did you hit your head? 2. Why are you such an ass when someone asks you a question? 3. Do you really believe the lies you keep generating?

Tariffs are the new Volcker Shock. They're deflating the economy. This is how they believe they're going to solve the affordability crisis. Straight out of the crackpot economic playbook. The road to serfdom is not through market regulation it's right wing crackpots. #USPolitics #uspoli #MAGA

I have to say, beer does take the edge off the Trump administration.

Trump is trying to calm the US-Canada dispute, to help Pollievre and Conservatives. He'll back off until the election and then come back with even more thunderous talk. Meanwhile, Pollievre claims it is Liberals who have endorsed Trump, all along. Unfortunately, many Canadians will fall for this.

I think we need to stop referring to Trump as 'caving'. 'Caving' would require reflection and reconsideration on one's actions. That is never what is going on with Republicans -- they are repositioning, in order to strike harder in the next round. Whether it appears incompetent, they don't care.

The speed with which a huge bulk of the conversation has flipped to the Signal chat scandal is alarming. While everybody becomes a national security expert overnight, the government, particularly the parts of it dealing with social policy, is STILL being dismantled and sold for parts. Stay focused.

Trump says he doesn't care if Conservatives lose the Canadian election, and he'd rather deal with Liberals. Oh, yes he fucking does, and no he fucking wouldn't. Literally, the Conservative Party begged him to say that, to distance the party from its clear 8-year record of boot licking.

Just spent my morning looking at all this administration's Executive Orders in the Federal Register. There would be comic value to some of these EOs, if they weren't embedded in a series of very dangerous and damaging ones. If asked whether to laugh or cry, I would say neither. I say get angry.

I guess Leavitt's communications degree makes her more qualified to pronounce on the law than experienced federal judges. When Trump sends this schmuck out to make these claims, you can be sure that the constitutional crisis has long arrived.

Yes, this is what needs to happen. Sanders is already doing this. Watch the crowds that come out. They will be HUGE! Make them defend their positions. Put them on the political defensive!
