That's an optimistic POV, because our exports are going to plummet. If manufacturers build plants in the U.S., they're only going to be building for the U.S. market, because our products will be too expensive for...

I disagree with that editorial on one key point. The rest of the world still views free trade as a positive endeavor and is actively forging new trade agreements both within and across continents. The most likely...

Russia has one (a dwindling one, but its Putins checkbook )THATS what Trump is after. make no mistake- its not for "sovereign wealth" to be distributed to fund programs- he thinks it will be his own slush fund to...

Here. We. Go!

Cory Booker just tonight finished an astonishing 25 hours talking filibuster in the Senate to protest Trump’s unconstitutional and illegal actions. I saw part of it - he wasn’t doing something lame like reading Dr...

For anyone who isn’t a regular poster or lurker over on the SaintsReport EE board, i am currently living and working in Bangkok for the last 8 or 9 months.. i had to evacuate my condo last Friday afternoon when the...

A federal judge blocked the implementation of President Donald Trump's proposed ban of transgender people from the military on Tuesday, saying the president's executive order was "soaked in animus."U.S. District...

So much for US standing in the world

You do realize that what’s happening violates international law, right? You cannot legally send people to a prison in a country where they are not citizens and may have never even set foot before. And I’d wager it’s...

It's a great city. Traffic is absolutely terrible. But it's a wonderful city. On behalf of the country, thank you for spending your American dollars here!

Went to Montreal last summer, had never been beforeHad a great time

I'm actually taking my youngest to Montreal for her 16th birthday in a couple of weeks. We had planned this before the Trump administration took office, but we're happy to spend out tourist dollars there now.

It's WAY past time for McMarrow to join the Big League! She needs to run for US Senate in 2026. The D's need to convince Sen Peters to not seek reelection and fully endorse her.In case you didn't know Sen Peters...

EUs statement

Also, the Atlantic is just hands down one of the most intelligent, thorough media outlets there has ever been in the US. I used to get the print edition years ago and reading Atlantic literally makes you smarter.

After canceling subscriptions to other outlets, I had already been contemplating subscribing to The Atlantic. At a time when too many people and organizations are capitulating to this administration, they chose duty...

The dumbest thing is that this is clearly Hegseth being all “hey look at me now!”

Yeah, I wouldn't be too excited about this. If Weil is within 10 points of Fine I would be surprised.

I’m guessing a lot of the money for Weil is coming from outside the district and won’t make a lick of difference in the end.

This story is so damaging that Jeff Goldberg might need to fear reprisal - toxic personalities like Trump don’t think “who on my team is accountable!?” he thinks “I’m gonna burn this guy down for revealing it.”He...

Same. Then I take step back and realize folks are losing their livelihood to no fault of their own because of people like this.

A very hard story to read. This is what you would expect in a 3rd world country - not the UShttps://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/19/canadian-detained-us-immigration-jasmine-m

This is something we talked about earlier in the thread - the agents can’t just disregard the tort and constitutional law without getting sued.

I think it's important for people to recognize that these responses are not simply "I don't care what the courts say" - there's non-trivial justifications provided here.(A) that means that DOJ is not simply...
