Kinda hard to gaslight us into believing they’re actually supportive of LEGAL immigration when they’re targeting LEGAL immigrants.

Bari Weiss said she would personally book an interview with someone like Kristi Noem or Tom Homan, two sources said. So "60 Minutes" producers flew to DC from New York, and Alfonsi flew in from Texas. But the promised interview did not materialize. Everyone went home empty-handed. Full story here:

On Trump's potential invocation of the Insurrection Act in Minnesota.
Important:
President Trump's own Solicitor General in a recent letter to the U.S. Supreme Court explained the dangers of sending in active military forces, and how it could make matters much worse.

At most four Repubs in the House.
Together they could stop nearly all the mad-king's rampages. They would be known to history as Profiles in Courage. They might/would lose the next election. But people have sacrificed a lot more, for a lot less.

I can't repeat this enough.
I've said this before and I'll say it again.
It would only take a tiny handful of Republican Congress members or senators to stop the slide of America toward authoritarian fascism, but nope. They're all in.

A long-term effect of Trump is obviously to strengthen China, while weakening the international commitment to democracy. Even pro-democratic countries will align with a stable authoritarian regime rather than one that is threatening to attack them.
The Canada-China relationship has been distant and uncertain for nearly a decade.
We’re changing that, with a new strategic partnership that benefits the people of both our nations.
