We have the clearest possible win–win deal before us.
With companies on both sides of the Atlantic
competing on an equal footing.
With elimination of billions in tariffs.
That means high value. Real growth. Good jobs.

I think the last 24 hours in VA are a stronger indication of what the Democratic Party platform will be in 2026 and going forward than the feeble quaverings of Chuck Schumer.
The Virginia legislature today passed four constitutional amendments, all by day 3 of 2026 session:
—protect abortion rights
—repeal the same-sex marriage ban
—allow mid-decade redistricting
—greatly expand voting rights restoration.
These will all go to 2026 referendums.

Judge urges US grant visa to college student deported due to 'mistake'
A U.S. judge on Friday gave the Trump administration three weeks to "rectify the mistake" it made by deporting a college student to Honduras while she was traveling home to spend Thanksgiving with her family in Texas, and he recommended it issue her a student visa.

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.
