Are Americans aware that down here in Mexico we’ve been getting bombarded for months with ads of Kristi Noem telling us to our face that we’re out welcome in the US, and that these ads even found their way into our national TV broadcasts

The American battery industry was booming during the Biden years, with investment even exceeding the Chinese industry in some of 2024. But will it survive the Big Beautiful Bill’s onerous regulations? From @ryanlcooper.com:

One can certainly debate the degree to which the Trump campaign knew about or encouraged Russian operations to influence the 2016 election, or the relevance they had to the outcome. But the evidence that such operations were real is overwhelming and widely attested by non-US intel agencies.

This is, to me, the defining dyamic of everything the last six months. Any game theory notion of deterrence or the shoe being on the other foot ever is entirely gone. Either 1) They don't think they'll ever lose power again or 2) they're confident Democrats won't ever do the same things back to them
Budget agreements won’t matter, funding obligations won’t matter, expended funds on the basis of promised reimbursement won’t matter.
You really don’t get the impression the GOP is thinking through what this means for the second they’re not in control.
