"The damage isn't theoretical... Trade routes are shifting. Investment is diversifying. Global power is rebalancing... All of it is premised on a hard-earned truth: the #UnitedStates cannot be trusted to lead. Not because of one man but because of what half the country has chosen to normalize. Not because of #Trump alone but because every institution built to restrain him failed & then got in line."

Ukrainians across the US received emails from the Department of Homeland Security on Thursday telling them that the parole status that allowed them to stay in the US was over and they should self-deport within a week.

“... It is time for you to leave the United States” and ended with “DHS is terminating your parole. Do not attempt to remain in the United States the federal government will find you. Please depart the United States immediately.”

I don't think I've read it anywhere, of any violence at #handsoff

That's remarkable

(You KNOW MAGA chuds would be squawking all over if there was even an minor altercation)

The turnout from older people, also remarkable - anyone with an IRA that counts on that to help pay their bills has just seen the funds cut by almost a third in the past few weeks - many of these folks no doubt voted #Republican (but not any more, I'll wager)

The #GOP has just lost a big segment of their reliable base

"Got to say it takes a lot of nerve for #RFKjr to attend the funeral of a child he's at least partly responsible for killing."

I saw that, and thought as I have so many times lately that the #Republican party has lost all sense of appropriate optics and is simply running full speed ahead into whatever wall it's created for itself

And for good measure the #GOP will then slam its hand in whatever door is available

A political party of bomb-throwing loose cannons

#trump and his dense #Republican cronies are SHOCKED at China’s predictable assertive response to the #TrumpAdministration imposition of very high tariffs on Chinese products. China ‘panicked’ they say… no, quite the opposite. China didn’t panic at all, they’ve been planning this for months, ever since the ‘fentanyl tariffs’ earlier this year. Have US diplomats and planners not been paying attention to China’s new breed of ‘wolf warriors’, ‘little pinks’ and armies of online activists? The country is taking strong, assertive and expansionist positions across all arenas, political, economic, foreign affairs, trade, and military. We have poked the Chinese tiger, and it is roaring its defiance. Not the expected response by naive US operatives. The stage is set now for a major #TradeWar that could last long enough to drive global #Recession. Hang on to your hats, folks. #economy #economics #tariffs #TariffsWar #China #RepublicansOwnThis #RepublicansDidThis
