The Canada-China relationship has been distant and uncertain for nearly a decade.
We’re changing that, with a new strategic partnership that benefits the people of both our nations.

Retweeting so folks have the latest. But also worth noting that last time Trump was in power, it was like moving heaven and earth to get Dems to stop offering increases for ICE. Can we finally get them to cut funds instead of just halting increases? If not now, when?
🚨BREAKING: DEMS DRAW RED LINE IN DHS APPROPS: NO FUNDING INCREASE FOR ICE. POLICY RIDERS GROWING. STORY COMING IN MIGRANT INSIDER
🚨NEWS: Senate Dems are reportedly offering ICE funding increases in exchange for body cams and de-escalation training for agents.
Body cams can be turned off. De-escalation training can be ignored.
Unclear if no masks, requiring ID badges, and no immunity is on the table.

"Sorry America, we shut down the government because Dems won't let us give billons more to a secret police force you hate that is killing your neighbors." Force Republicans to make that argument. Let them try. It's called politics - Dem leadership should try it some time.

Believe it or not there are still national Democratic operatives and politicians who think it's not smart to defund and dismantle the agencies doing this to children
A buddy in MN shared a drawing a classmate of his kid made. They've been making thank you notes for parents who have volunteered to carpool them to school so their own parents don't have to risk waiting out by the bus stop.

If this is all I had, I would NOT have gone with the story. Sources have motivation to lie/obfuscate. “Torso” is very broad. There is no supporting evidence. And there is no reason that the sources could not have been on the record.

the solution to making it easier to have kids is wealth redistribution. notably, this is also the solution to making people happier, saving the planet, & reducing violence. "the left" has not only been offering this solution for 100s of years, it is the only meaningful force offering this solution

If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this:
America's problems are solved problems. Just not here.
What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵

I'm not encouraging violence, but stop lecturing people about staying peaceful when their homes and businesses are being invaded by Nazis and their neighbors are being taken away. Just don't say anything. Better yet, tell the Nazis to stop menacing the community.

Seems notable that a few days after DHS/ICE murdered a woman and called her a domestic terrorist, while calling protesters extremists and radicals, they are posting actual neo-Nazi music
DHS posted a straight up neo-Nazi song to its Instagram.
I write about this song in my book, describing the white supremacist group Patriot Front singing “By God We’ll Have Our Home Again” while in the back of a UHaul truck after marching in DC
