I hope my fellow Aussies say no, they align with Australia's interests.

Both the US and my own country (Australia) are below the replacement fertility rate (~2.1). Without immigration, there simply won't be enough people to keep things going over the coming decades as the population slowly ages out. I seriously doubt the average anti-immigration rightwinger understands this.
Sounds like Usha (her daughter) made a bad choice for a husband (Vance). Must make for some very tense dinnertable conversations.
His base won't realise it was him either. Too long ago.
As the senior dev, please don't.
Yes, but he didn't mean that he would be one of the people in pain!
This whole situation is appalling.
You'd think that being able to approve voluntary deparature on the spot would be high on the Trump administration's list for political points - a "quick win" to get people out of the country as soon as possible and help meet Trump's deportation targets. But being able to process people quickly means resources and a functional government, which is not consistent with Trump and co's agenda.
Wow. I wonder if that's only being rolled out in the UK at the moment? Definitely don't get it here in Australia.
Here I was thinking that we'd get to the end of the decade before China invades Taiwan, but at the rate Trump is going China will probably be convinced that the US wouldn't intervene if they acted by next year.
Surely an arrest can't be far off...
Rail (and public transport) should be publically owned. As someone who lives in Victoria, Australia, it is painfully obvious just how much damage the privatisation of our rail system in the 90s did. There was virtually no investment/expansion of the network for over two decades and it's now too late - we're stuck continually playing catch-up to the increasing infrastructure demands of our cities.
I'm not familiar with the ownership of Amtrak, but it should be fully government owned and operated. A vertically-integrated transport system was the most cost-effective approach for us and that lasted about a century before the more conservative of our two major parties sold it off.
