A lesson American law firms, universities, major corporations, and MOST IMPORTANTLY Democrats, have not learned.
"Many officials here see a lesson for the European Union: Pushing back works." www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/0...
On Greenland, Europe stood up, Trump blinked, and the E.U. learned a lesson
For some in the often fractured E.U., Trump’s retreat on the Arctic territory proves that retaliation — not conciliation — is the answer to his hardball tactics.

We already had the real-world experience of unvaccinated people getting measles, and it's why we invented the vaccine for measles.

Why do campaign issues have to be selected on an either-or basis?
Can't Dems campaign on the economy, the damage to democracy, out-of-control ICE, immigration reform, the corruption of DOJ, the hiding of the Epstein files, AND the fact the president is insane and wants to be a dictator?

I will repeat: It is not obvious, based on the data, that campaigning on the economy in Nov would be significantly more effective than campaigning on immigration. Gov. policy is dramatically out of step with the public on immigration/deportations, and executive overreach is a potent motivator

The TACO cycle:
Markets want to price in TACO. But TACO only works if Trump sees stocks tank.
So we get a loop: Trump does things → nothing happens (markets already priced in TACO) → that emboldens him to do more → until markets start to think he might not TACO → stocks fall → TACO is restored.

I cannot tell you how absolutely infuriatingly this stuff comes across to Europeans.
When we say America is no longer a reliable ally, it goes considerably deeper than Donald Trump himself. This kind of complacent, condescending shit is a *huge* part of it.
