"It's very simple: Prime Minister [Mark] Carney and Canada caved to President Trump and the United States of America." Karoline Leavitt
For Schumer it literally revolves around his imaginary Republican friends.
the media and democratic senators operate like the entire world revolves around conservatives

To put it another way: Courageous jurists on the lower courts have held back Trump from inflicting even more damage on civil rights and liberties. This timeline sucks, but the one in which the judiciary doesn't even try to push back is FAR worse. We insult these judges when we dismiss their impact.
I’m done with this shit. This isn’t a game. And if you don’t realize that the work of Judges Xinis and Boasberg and Ellis has been an essential part of forcing this administration to account for its actions, you’re not a serious person.

Add this to the list of things Mark Carney could be focusing on to safeguard Canada, but isn’t.
This is an easy win. It’s relatively inexpensive. And others have already done all the work. And doesn’t Carney want deeper links with Europe? Canada should announce tomorrow that we’re on board.

This is going to happen in Canada if the politicians get out of the way.
Europe just crossed a real line: BEVs outsold petrol cars for the first time Dec 25. This isn’t policy or targets — it’s market reality. Electrification crossed the line. #Bettrification is now doing the damage. At this rate, the EU ICE ban becomes irrelevant — 100% hits well before 2035, with ease.

It is inconceivable to me that any Democrat would vote for a DHS funding bill that fails to include a mandate that requires these federal goons to take their masks off.

Don't ease the pressure on Schumer. You just know he's looking for a "compromise".
Border Patrol is pulling out of Minneapolis. Bovino is ending his punitive tour of blue cities. Calls for Noem's resignation are mounting, even in conservative media. Senate Democrats are dug in now on refusing to fund DHS and ICE. "Abolish ICE" is now a mainstream position.
They are losing.
