Perhaps they can take a measure of comfort in the fact that six of the current nine U.S. Supreme Court justices were appointed by Republican presidents.
Especially considering 2024 is the first time a Republican candidate won the popular vote since George W. Bush in 2004.
To find the next instance of a Republican winning the popular vote, you’d have to go back another 16 years to when Bush’s father, George H. W. Bush, won the 1988 election .

Watched a podcast featuring Mexican media reporting it is Canada not participating in CUSMA prep meetings and being generally absent in this.
We are not getting the full truth from Canadian media.
Not really, this is pretty much exactly as expected. The agreement stays in effect, perpetual annual consultations ensue til 2036, and at any point til then we can all agree to renew. The agreement doesn’t cease to be of force or effect due to this. Trump could still dance with Congress if he wants to try to invoke the six month withdrawal notice. He doesn’t have the cards to pull that off. This is exactly what ragging the puck has meant, and I think all serious observers expected this to be the path.

Thats our weak point in all this. Mexico probably has even more to lose from CUSMA collapsing than we do. It would not be surprising to me at all that they throw us under the bus, they certainly can be duplicitious. That whole bit about nations and interests.

He's already said the only reason he signed a bad CUSMA deal because it was better than NAFTA, which was worser because it was signed by a Democrat.

However, it plays right into his narrative for his base: See, Canada and Mexico want to extend the deal as is, which proves that it was a bad deal for the US, because if its good for them, then it necessarily means its bad for us.
It works for him because he is of the negotiation school where every deal is necessarily a WIN-lose proposition, so if you didn't "win", you lost. The very concept of deals where both parties come out better than before they made the deal is anathema to him.

Regarding the Midterms, any predictions if the president will - officially - declare election interference a national emergency?
If I was a betting man, my uneducated guess would put the odds at 50-50.
Sounds like Mitch is not well. According to The Post
