Definitely. Democrats were too slow to realize how big the problem at the border was and just how much they were getting punished for it.

The US political system has been destroyed by money. Many other western democracies are so much healthier than in the US because there's very little money in politics.

No, Democrats have to get a hold on the immigration issue. The only countries in this world where progressive policies actually thrive is where leftwing parties have adopted stricter immigration stances (e.g. Denmark). There's no way around it.

Edit: Sure, downvote and keep losing

Wouldn't this just create even more conservatives if they are the only ones having children? Seems counterintuitive.

Better than any R, which would have been the alternative. Don't be a single-issue voter. That's what put Trump back in the WH.

The is McConnell's wet dream and has been his entire career. Unfortunately, his dream came true.

Perception is king. If people feel poor, even if they are not poor, they are poor.

Between shipping manufacturing jobs elsewhere, and allowing in immigrants who do menial work, people at the low end of the economy are pretty pinched for work.

Isn't the unemployment rate close to record low? I mean, a lot of people work 2 and more full-time jobs to make ends meet, but that seems like a different issue.

 

Increased tariffs on China could "accelerate the diversification of supply chains, in particular away from China," S&P reported — but that won't necessarily mean more jobs for Americans.

Rosenfeld said Steve Madden is exploring a move to "countries like Cambodia, Vietnam, Mexico, Brazil."

He didn't mention the U.S. as a possible place of production.

 

After former President Donald Trump gave his victory speech early Wednesday, at the Palm Beach Convention Center, dozens of his supporters gathered in a lobby to sing “How Great Thou Art,” reciting from memory the words and harmonies of a classic hymn, popular among evangelical Christians.

It was a fitting coda to an election in which Trump once again won the support of about 8 in 10 white evangelical Christian voters, according to AP VoteCast, a sweeping survey of more than 120,000 voters. That margin — among a group that represented about 20% of the total electorate — repeats similarly staggering margins of evangelical support that T rump received in 2020.

 

President-elect Trump's MAGA allies wasted little time after his election win before openly celebrating that the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 will set the agenda for his administration.
