Loving this, really great discussions by a couple of two smart progressive journalists! Thought your observations were pretty spot on, and in line with what I've been discussing with friends.
Congratulations, you made it through the first week of the election campaign!
It’s already proving to be deeply weird. But luckily for you, your Campaign Cops are here to break it all down.

I urge Canadians to avoid travel. Illegal detentions and kidnapping by ICE have become all too common for travellers and those with working VISAs.

Canadian here who spent the last 3 winters in Savannah, GA. But no more. Even left a week early with no intention to book next year. Can't control policy or insulting rhetoric, but can control how and where I spend my $$. Looks like Spain for 2026. Spoke to local media about it.

Yep, this is the truth that I hope Americans will understand, eventually. Trump started this for petty & very aggressive personal reasons. Ignored the trade agreement that HE signed and agreed to last time. This will hurt the US as much or more than Canadians. This is a waste of all our time.

Most money for US aid to Ukraine went to US manufacturers. It is literally American industry, and part of the funding was for expanding US industrial capacity.
It's next level lying. Lies wrapped in lies, stacked in a pile of BS. Reality inverting lies. Piss-on-my-leg-and-tell-me-it's-raining lying.

Vance has, for years, used this technique where he mischaracterizes the position of his opponents by taking it to an extreme that they never advocated, then arguing w/that fictitious position. Supporters don’t want “permanent” shipments, nor did we advocate de-industrialization.

Worse, Russia is openly cheering it, and Trump is bragging that they like it.
