When Canada deepens ties with China, it's not romance, it's risk management. If the U.S. keeps slapping tariffs and rewriting rules, partners diversify. Reliability is an economic asset; squander it, and trade flows and influence quietly move elsewhere.

This is all beyond unfathomable. Now the DOJ says oops we made a mistake about making a mistake; in fact, the grand jury did review and sign off on the second indictment. Begging the Q who was with the grand jury when that happened since Halligan says not her.

Glad most Dems are standing firm but the cowards that believe that the gop will give an inch are incredulous fools.
Bullies gain power when their misconduct succeeds in causing righteous people to yield in the face of wrongdoing. That’s why voting for Trump's continuing resolution - without any protection against his health care cuts or his growing illegality - is a mistake.
I voted NO.
