There are 19,546 verified Ukrainian children that have been stolen from their families. The true number is likely much higher, with estimates in the hundreds of thousands. These children are forced to live with Russian families, with Russian names.
Can you imagine for a moment what would happen if Mexico kidnapped that many American children and named them all Pedro and Juana?
There wouldn't just be a war. It may very well just be the end of Mexico. And any hint of a ceasefire or peace deal without absolute guarantees of the return of every single child would be instant political suicide.
The Ukrainians made it clear that they will fight to the end for their children and I don't blame them. If it were my kidnapped child, I would too.
If you want to make a deal, it's going to need concrete guarantees with tangible enforcement mechanisms. Vague promises for minerals and demands for gratitude aren't going to accomplish much of anything here.
Tariffs are taxes
Tariffs are regressive taxes
Tariffs are distortionary, regressive taxes
Tariffs are distortionary, regressive taxes and can’t replace income taxes

Nothing else matters but this. Nothing else. No one voting for Trump can defend this. No one. He’s lying about our elections. Again. He’s attacking the very foundation of our democracy. Again. He’s inciting violence. Again. He is a traitor to this country.
"For years, we have heard excuses about why America can't build enough housing. Enough with the excuses, I'm going to cut the red tape, and work with the private sector and local governments to speed up building, and get it done!"
THATS OUR FUTURE YIMBY PRESIDENT
Trump's top campaign issue is immigration, which he links to crime.
This means it's important to tell the truth about this topic. The idea that immigration increases crime is not just wrong, but inverts reality.

1) A Trump campaign employee and alleged coconspirator sought to foment chaos at the TCF ballot processing center in Detroit. https://t.co/ps1kPgtlJI
The port union is demanding "total ban on the automation of cranes, gates and container movements that are used in the loading or loading of freight at 36 U.S. ports".
This is bad. Should policymakers really allow this?
Median voter: Inflation is my number one issue. To fix it, I want the US government to raise taxes on 1/3 of everything I buy and kick off a massive trade war with our closest allies.
Let’s be clear: This is illegal and unconstitutional. The American people had voted. The courts had ruled. The Electoral College had met and voted. The Governor in every state had certified the results and sent a legal slate of electors to the Congress to be counted. The Vice President has no constitutional authority to tell states to submit alternative slates of electors because his candidate lost. That is tyranny. Our institutions held on Jan 6 because Mike Pence refused to violate his oath to the Constitution. Trump picked JD Vance because Vance will do whatever Trump wants, including violating the Constitution. They are both far too dangerous to serve. It’s our duty to stop them.
