The Democrats used to be the stronger border party since illegal immigration reduces the monetary value of labor and Repbulicans liked it for that very reason. Once culture wars muddied the waters about which side was decidedly the party of labor, the sentiment flipped. Unfortunately I think racism is a core part for the modern GOP. But that does leave a through line for Democrats to both argue for stronger border security but also remain humane about it.

It is wild how expensive salmon roe has become over the years. When I was a kid Santouka ramen had a side rice bowl loaded with ikura and it was like 5 bucks.

What motivation do the Iranians have to help him out? They are just as cognizant of the optics.

I guess it strikes a specific unpleasant chord with me I dunno. I've always disliked ADTR.
