I am really looking forward to April, when the US starts picking a fight with everyone else. At the very least it will spread it thinner. Right now, Trump is shit-posting a major trade policy change about every 72 hours.

The House Continuing Resolution to fund the US government until September - which the GOP is blasting the Democrats over because they say it is ‘neutral’ - has this clause:

This essentially surrenders Congressional authority over tariffs for the rest of 2025. It is not ‘neutral’ at all, it is an act of submission.

In clearly staking out a claim on one side of these fights, the Democrats have become associated with instances of overreach in the cultural realm as well, whether fairly or not. Take the rapid shifts in language that have produced new terms that few people ever use and many find bizarre or even offensive, such as “uterus-haver,” “pregnant person,” “birthing person,” “menstruating person,” “individual with a cervix,” or even “inseminated person” in lieu of “woman.” Or “chest-feeding” over “breastfeeding.” Or “sex ‘assigned’ at birth.”

Many Democrats likely don’t use these terms themselves, if they’ve even heard of them, and probably hold fairly normie views about sex and gender. Nonetheless, their association with groups and people who do use them, combined with their reluctance to update their priors in the face of new scientific research, has left them out of step with the majority of Americans on these issues.

Whether Democrats were negatively polarized by Republicans, misunderstood or ignored what the science said, naively followed the guidance of activist groups—or some combination of the three—they have gotten way out ahead of the public. Indeed, while Americans today tend to be roughly evenly divided on most issues, usually along partisan lines, this isn’t one of them.

Extensive polling has found that sizable majorities of American believe, among other things, that transgender women should not be allowed to compete in women’s sports at any level; kids should not be taught lessons on “gender identity” until at least middle school, if not high school; and medical interventions such as puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones should not be accessible to minors. Among the most striking findings of late was a New York Times /Ipsos poll showing that the public opposed the participation of trans women in women’s sports by a lopsided margin of 79 percent to 18 percent, with even Democrats agreeing by a more than two-to-one margin.

What’s more: a recent survey from Pew Research found the public has shifted further away from the Democratic Party’s positions on these questions in recent years. This even includes some issues where a healthy majority continues to support the pro-trans positions, including protecting transgender people from discrimination in jobs, housing, and public spaces (56 percent) and allowing them to serve in the military (58 percent). Both of these figures have fallen from their past standing. Americans do also support increased access to counseling services for gender-distressed youth.

we’ll take Point Roberts, the rest they have already ruined and can fucking keep. Thanks but no thanks it’s full of Americans.

I’m pretty sure promotion of a private company in the White House is illegal?
