What I'm looking for in the 2028 primary is someone who will put Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem in jail, and so far, that's Pritzker

The British trade deal wasn't what they said it was, the Vietnamese are still yet to confirm Trump's announcement, and the Japanese say they're not signing a binding agreement. The White House has released the text of ZERO (0) deals, and maybe it's all just social media posts all the way down.
"Japanese officials said there was no written agreement with Washington — and no legally binding one would be drawn up", and surprise surprise, they deny giving Trump $550b to arbitrarily spend however he wants. www.ft.com/content/c118...

"They released their insane asylum population into our country" -- Trump still thinks that people who make political asylum claims come from insane asylums

“When they’re good, there’s truly nothing better on television, and last night’s season premiere instantly became one of their all-time great episodes by acclamation.”

"To say the very least, Trump folks online are not happy. Many of them love South Park because of its ruthless mockery of 'woke' culture, and suddenly, here’s their Daddy being called a fascist little bitch by the creators of the show."

This is an outrage! This Afghan risked his life for our military in Afghanistan & when he couldn’t leave on our flights after the Taliban occupation he came here on his own & is now disappearing. The courts & his lawyer have his records that ICE claims they do not have! This man is a hero.

Sayed Naser served as a U.S. military interpreter in Afghanistan. Now he’s being deported.
The Taliban assassinated his brother and kidnapped his father. All because he helped us.
Why are the feds trying to deport him, even though his asylum case is still pending?
Not justice, it’s a betrayal.

Every time I post about ICE tactics, I get replies, “This is what I voted for.”
Really? You voted for a mother crying for mercy while her child is still in school—about to come out and find her missing?
There isn’t another way to go about this that preserves our humanity?

ICE agent points gun directly at the head of innocent civilian—just for taking picture of his license plate.
He drew his gun with one hand—while fumbling to open the car door with the other.
The "agent" did not seem to be aware someone else was already recording his vehicle.

Crimes against humanity.
ICE has been taking babies from their foster parents and separating them from the only family they know.
You can hear the agonizing cries from the baby and the scream of the man telling the officers ‘she’s just a baby!!’

WE HAVE QUESTIONS…
This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they?
ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants.
How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

So he raised the tariffs, paused that raise, paused that pause, then paused that pause of the pause. And no-one knows if it'll be paused again (and if such a pause will be unpaused) or what happens when (or if) the pause whose pause was paused concludes.
A brief history of US tariffs on the EU...
Recent decades: Mostly low and stable
April 2: 20%
April 9: 10% during a 90 day pause
May 23 (day 44 of the pause): 50% from June 1
May 25: Back to 10%, reinstating the original pause
July 9 (end of 90 day pause): ???
Inauguration Day, 2029: ???

>>I was with a public health professor from [major university] last weekend and he said that NIH is now euthanizing whole cohorts of animals from animal studies because there is nobody around to feed them<<
Great work.
