This is a direct violation of long-standing US policy toward Taiwan.
Beginning with the 1982 version, the Six Assurances to Taiwan explicitly states that the U.S. will not consult with China on arms sales to Taiwan.
Nor will the U.S. set an end date of arms sales to Taiwan.

President Donald Trump said that he’s discussing future weapons sales to Taiwan with Chinese President Xi Jinping and teased that he would soon make a decision about future defense support for the self-governing island.

For years many of us noted that as Trump stuck around on the national stage, he would create a new normal for young people who were not old enough to remember the Before Times. That fear has come to pass.
"Most members of Generation Z were still children when Trump came down the escalator…They don’t view Trump as sui generis or beyond the pale, because he’s been the dominant force in our politics for as long as they’ve been politically aware."

The entire point of this country is that it is the voters’ job to determine what’s best for the country.
Literally, that’s the point. If the country is fucked up, it’s because the voters fucked up.
Everything else is a lie people tell themselves because the truth scares them.

If we lived in a world where workers all acted on their self-interest, we would have solved most of our problems already. Scolding the voters for not doing what you think they should have done misunderstands the basic job.

The "abolish USAID from the left" comes from the same place as the people who wanted Ukraine to be conquered in order to weaken NATO. Morality takes a back seat to whatever is necessary to weaken US power, even if it's the soft power of preventing millions of people dying from famine and disease. 1x
this is exactly why I am absolutely not willing to overlook anyone who was once “advocating for ending USAID” as merely committing a little oopsie-daisy-booboo, by the way
The Project 2025 author is using millions of dollars in USAID money for his own security detail.
It is estimated that 762,000 people have *already died* as a result of Elon Musk and Russell Vought’s obscene murder of USAID, including more than 500,000 children.
Vought is a mass murderer.

Will Stancil will vote for the Dem, no matter what. If they say "prosecuting the people doing immigration enforcement in Minnesota will be too divisive," Will will vote for them. If the Dem nominee say that ICE just needs better training, and their prisons better conditions, Will is all in on them.

Honestly baffling to see you fighting so hard for your community, genuinely impressively, and then give up the 2028 race two years early.
The only option is FIGHT AND DESTROY FASCISTS. A Dem who doesn't do that is not an acceptable option. Simple. We have time to make that happen.
