If you wanted to decrease the cost of homes, one thing you wouldn’t do is put a flat tariff on your main source of timber.

The tariffs on Canada are not a negotiating tactic because there’s nothing to gain. About 1.5% of illegal crossings happen at the Canadian border, and less than 1% of fentanyl comes from Canada. This country has been our closest ally, and we are destroying our relationship with them for no reason.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Regarding ICE raids- there are a lot of rumors flying around. Please make sure to follow up and verify information before you share it. Vigilance is useful but panic is not.

Hey, I agree that the culture war stuff is dumb to focus on. Arguing whether Elon is a nazi is a huge turnoff to most people. But the pause on funding to Medicaid is not that. This is worth yelling about.
