Right-wingers from the fringe to Fox News are rolling out a new argument in favor of Trump’s tariffs—they will help boost America’s masculinity by promoting the sort of backbreaking blue-collar work that their fathers and grandfathers did.

Breaking: Sen. Richard Blumenthal says he plans to place a hold on ALL Trump nominees going forward.
This will force Republicans to hold individual votes to override each hold, which will severely slow down their agenda.

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.
