Economic-progressive Dem posting on politics, law, pet-rescue efforts. Was prolific on Twitter/X. Native Upper Midwesterner living in north central FL. Anti-lawn movement fan. #Berner since '15. Have cats. Views my own, but you may borrow them.
And this only deals with the effect of Canadian tariffs on the state. There's also the thing about Trump's forcing the destruction of the US auto industry's EV plans. XI's Trump's biggest fan (if Putin isn't counted).

Kinda guessing the GOP won't do well in the Plains states (incl IA) and in the Midwest.

Watch for large swings, from Trump '24 to Dem House, Senate, governor and state legislator candidates.

Similar to last Saturday's special TX Senate election - a swing of 31 pts.

*no excuse for Donald Trump not doing that too.

My very first thought upon reading that last night was: Ok, so Dems campaigning in House/Senate races should promise to try to force this next Jan.

My next thought was, 'course Roberts et al will bar it. Which brings me to:

Ah, yes, but we all feel so much safer with thousands upon thousands of people permanently detained in makeshift concentration camps.

Take THIS, Gen Z-ers who thought it would be cool to vote for Trump rather than against him, and did so!

What a gift to Dems running in midterm elections.

What's next? Trump pushes higher taxes for non-homeowners?.Yeah, probably.

... the "increasingly undeniable reality that we have a gov't seeking to rationalize profoundly (if not lawless) behavior."

That denouement to this profoundly important piece would describe the Supreme Court's supermajority, were they bothering to rationalize their actions legalizing lawlessness.
