The Trump administration never had the authority to freeze these funds, and now they must be delivered swiftly to keep this critical project moving.

reconfiguring the US trade relationship with Mexico is hard, so we're not even trying. Getting the Macedonians to sign a paper that they will lower their tariffs from 0.01% to 0% on the $10 of exports we have to them is easy, so that's all we're doing

I think many people are not aware of the scale of ICE presence in their communities because those kidnappings are happening largely out of sight thanks to partnerships with local law enforcement.
This also drives home just how much of what we are seeing in blue areas is about political retribution.
