he’s gonna think this went well and pivot back to maximalist saber rattling
Trump on Sheinbaum: "The cartels are running Mexico. She's not running Mexico. We could be politically correct & nice and say, 'Oh, yes, she is.' No no. And I've asked her number times, 'Would you like us to take out the cartels?' ... something is gonna have to be done with Mexico."

Everyone can relax, the EU is "closely monitoring the situation."
I have spoken with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and our Ambassador in Caracas. The EU is closely monitoring the situation in Venezuela.

The EU has repeatedly stated that Mr Maduro lacks legitimacy and has defended a peaceful transition. (1/2)

Most of the derangement about Mamdani is for the obvious reasons but part of it is also that a surprising amount of people were committed to the Cuomo rehabilitation project because they hated the idea that anything could have consequences for men of the right class.

the water thing about genAI is bullshit but the thing where it makes on-demand nudes and CSAM isn't and the thing where it talks you into killing yourself isn't and those seem pretty bad

Labour secured a landslide majority where they could theoretically enact any policy they want, unopposed. They instead chose to try and appease the right-wing, including the paper this man is writing in. That has failed, so they're blaming an all-powerful left-wing that they systematically ejected.
And just so everyone's up-to-date on the transatlantic reactionary centrist ping-pong game, UK Labour are taking the Matt Yglesias 'Abundance' crowd's lamentations about 'the groups' and now claiming Starmer's Labour are failing because of a Deep State cabal run by NGOs and regulatory bodies.

what victories do we think he’s going to commemorate
Congress should stop this.

Also, if Trump wants to enjoy an imitation of the Arc de Triomphe done in a style and at a place congenial to him, he can visit the Arch of Triumph in Pyongyang, completed in 1982.

Trump says construction of the ‘Triumphal Arch’ to begin in ‘2 months’
The monument would be a centerpiece of the White House’s plans for America’s 250th birthday.

i basically think the popularist fabian tactics do not work with high salience issues like this which are never really going away. we either build a durable consensus around a liberal immigration policy framework or the right has a hammer to keep hitting us with
And I think liberals should stop taking the bait and ceding ground on immigration.

Immigration is good. Multiculturalism is good. Free trade is good. Stop being embarrassed to say so.
