Any news outlet reporting Mexico conceded anything to Trump to get him to delay tariffs has not done its homework.
Trump boasts he got Mexico to commit to stationing 10K troops at our border. Apparently he didn't realize Mexico already has 15K troops deployed there

Border czar Tom Homan says people in US illegally must leave to make way for those "waiting in line" to come in "the right way."
Then why did the admin's immigration crackdown begin by punishing people who DID come in "the right way" - Ukrainian parolees, screened Afghan refugees, CBP1 appt holders?

If you can’t regulate anything because you’re afraid they’re going to try to leverage their customers to support a fascist, well, then you’ve just given up your ability to regulate anything and you’ve lost completely. You have to have the stomach to fight.

I feel like anyone interested in curtailing corporate power should be significantly more concerned with a corporation resisting government oversight by trying to pin it on one party and actively courting an incoming President

How many news stories did you read about the great flourishing of American entrepreneurship in recent years?

What were all these new businesses up to?

I don't recall those stories. Do you?
We live in amazing times.

As much as people like to clown on Stardew Valley’s romance system, I know for a fact that if a guy gave me my favorite food item, everyday for a year, I’d be considering marriage too

Just to be clear: the incoming Trump administration is going to war against their own Republican senate majority and the constitution's advice and consent provision so they can make a man investigated for ***sex trafficking a minor*** into the most powerful law enforcement officer in the country.

There’s a sort of Trump apologist, a relatively small but loud subset, who probably don’t realize or intend to be, but are so attached to a previous hyperbolic claim that they deny anything important changed.

-US was already an oligarchy
-US was already fascist
-Biden gave Israel a blank check
-Etc

If you’re saying that Democrats would have won if they had just been more like Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders, you’re telling everyone you’re a pundit who ignores data.
