Want to know how bad Donald Trump is losing his trade war with China?
Last month, he said China will buy 12 million tons of US soybeans by January. China hasn’t even bought 1/10th of that amount yet.
Trump is getting played by China while American farmers pay the price.

CNBC: My understanding is the White House said that China was gonna buy 12 million tons of soybeans from the US by January. That's approaching and they've only purchased 332,000. China has not confirmed that pledge.

Trump just ended a rule limiting a type of pollution that causes heart and lung disease.
The rule was expected to save thousands of American lives every year.

This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

SCOTUS tightens the conditions under which minor witnesses can testify virtually (rather than in-person), a controversial exception to the Confrontation Clause. Requires a specific finding of necessity for the child, not general solicitude for kids' wellbeing. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...
![PER CURIAM.
Ordinarily, the Sixth Amendment’s Confrontation Clause
“guarantees the defendant a face-to-face meeting with witnesses appearing before the trier of fact.” Coy v. Iowa, 487
U. S. 1012, 1016 (1988). In child-abuse cases, however, that
rule sometimes gives way. Consistent with the Sixth
Amendment, a court may screen a child witness from the
defendant when “necessary to protect [the child] from
trauma that would be caused by testifying in the physical
presence of the defendant, at least where such trauma
would impair the child’s ability to communicate.” Maryland v. Craig, 497 U. S. 836, 857 (1990).
Still, before invoking this procedure, a court must proceed with care. It must “hear evidence” and make a “casespecific” finding of “[t]he requisite . . . necessity.” Id., at
855. Simply pointing to a state statute that authorizes
screening, even one premised on “generalized finding[s]” of
necessity, will not suffice. Coy, 487 U. S., at 1021. Because
the Mississippi Supreme Court departed from these principles, we reverse](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6h7b2i6ttw3l4t7pvbvxdith/bafkreic5d3pzulmiqz2wergatredxnlqtncxh4xngj7fe4wgq4lk6ouxji@jpeg)
