Paraphrasing the Brexiteer 'Europe needs us more than we need them' justification for the UK committing its own act of economic self-sabotage.
In the end, it was exposed as nonsense. UK trading terms with the EU actually worsened, and our trade, economy and reputation have never recovered.

Q: 60 Minutes found 75% of the migrants who were sent to El Salvador do not have criminal records. That true?
BONDI: They're not Venezuelan migrants. They're illegal aliens from Venezuela who should not have been in our country

I don’t understand how we so quickly forgot the supply shock lessons of Covid. Do people not remember what it was like to just not be able to get ahold of stuff required for daily existence?
I am telling you, manufacturers that can’t absorb these tariffs are going to simply stop assembly lines.

In no other job in this country can people be so incompetent & this avoidant of taking responsibility for their actions without being penalized, demoted, or terminated completely.
Entry-level, minimum wage jobs wouldn't tolerate the level of incompetence shown by the Trump administration.

The more coverage a story gets, the more important readers think it is.
So it matters when the NYT inflates flimsy Dem ‘scandals’ while downplaying real, criminal ones from Trump and Republicans. It’s not just bad judgment — it shapes public perception.

Talk of firing or resigning is one thing. But if they were regular employees, they would face investigation & prosecution. No reason their principals, people who hold security clearances, shouldn’t. Or is the legacy of the “but her emails” guy going to be nat’l security no longer matters?

Ending the federal role in education is like burning books, but on steroids. It’s what you do when you’re afraid of ideas and people who can think for themselves.
NEW—Dept of Ed staff received an email from Sec. McMahon tonight with the subject, “Our Department’s Final Mission.”
McMahon writes that plan is, “to send education back to the states.” Notably doesn’t mention executive order like earlier draft, but some think it’s still coming.
