Another piece pointing out that Trump’s tariff madness has badly undermined him.
We Just Saw the Cracks in Trump’s Wall of Power
The past week undermined the narrative that has surrounded the president — that he is a political juggernaut able to run roughshod over his party and beyond.

NEW: El Salvador has released this video of the deported men arriving in their country.

Their hands & ankles are shackled and they’re manhandled by hooded guards. They have their heads shaven.

Trump has published no names nor evidence. People ripped from their lives in the US with no due process.

NEW: Photo released showing the treatment of 100s of people deported by Trump to El Salvador, in defiance of a federal judge ruling.

Remember, none of these individuals had any due process. They had no opportunity to contest any evidence, if is existed.

A grievous human rights violation.

Shitty, small minded, utterly graceless conduct
Republican Rep. Keith Self called on Rep. Sarah McBride, referring to her as “Mr. McBride,” and Democratic Rep. William Keating quickly jumped to her defense.

The hostility and abuse Sarah McBride is consistently subjected to by her colleagues is disgusting.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.

Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

Jeez. Trump actually just said it. He actually just said that Ukraine shouldn't have started this war! He’s actually siding with a crazed, murderous dictator

I know everything feels grim right now but let's be realistic. These people are idiots. They're going to tank their economy. They're going to fuck-up every deal they sign. They're going to leave America looking shattered and deranged. And all those who supported them will look as idiotic as they are

“ refused to answer a recent Freedom of Information request from the BBC's Countryfile programme, asking how many vehicles were failing to turn up for checks at Sevington.”

Why?

What’s the problem with answering this?
ABSOLUTELY STELLAR -WELL DONE BREXITEERS!

Efforts to keep potentially disease-ridden meat out of the UK are being undermined by post-Brexit border checks.

Illegal meat, which has not been through proper health checks, is now available on "most High Streets" in the UK.

I have to say, really quite delighted about this.
❗ TODAY ❗

I'm proud to present my 🇪🇺 Youth Mobility Scheme Bill 🇬🇧 – a vital step to give young Brits the chance to live, work, and study across Europe.

The botched Brexit deal robbed them of these opportunities. It's time to fix that and reset our relationship with the EU.
