US auto industry is facing 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico & Canada, which could add around $3,000 to average US car price. Even US-built vehicles have a significant amount of foreign parts and content, with Tesla's US-sold cars including about 20% of parts from Mexico www.wsj.com/business/aut...

The head of the FBI’s largest office is forced out. This is the beginning of the end of “Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity”: www.nytimes.com/2025/03/03/n...

Now they're bribing people to resign because they know how legally difficult it is to fire people.

Just dumb as hell. No mastermind plan, no 5d chess, just simply stupid as fuck

1. Money laundering 2. Corruption 3. Nazism 4. Minority oppression Why are they doing everything they accused Ukraine of doing

Once again, if you voted for Trump because you thought he'd lower your grocery bills, I have some very bad news for you. news.bloomberglaw.com/internationa...

I’m sure they do too. HOWEVER, no matter how much cash, compromat or corruption is thrown at them, SOME people never cave in and let their moral compass be destroyed in the process. LG is clearly not one of them!

The fundamental choice has not been as stark since World War II: democracy and freedom, or dictatorship and tyranny. Trump and his sycophants are siding with the latter. The rest of us must loudly, proudly, and boldly proclaim our allegiance to the former.

Multiple federal judges have issued orders blocking the Trump administration’s freeze on federal funding. However, the acting head of the NIH reportedly pushed back against legal guidance to resume grant funding, leaving federal workers in the lurch.

Human rights groups stress that weaponizing starvation by intentionally depriving civilians of lifesaving aid is a war crime under international humanitarian law.

Trump-Russia was an understatement.

No, mom.

You have a couple days to make it to Washington D.C., we need as many people as possible in the US capitol. Can you make it? #3E #USprotests #March4Liberty #Mar4

Trump just helped bring Andrew Tate — who is literally charged with rape and human trafficking — into our country.

"Also terminated is a project led by economist and political scientist Christopher Blattman at the University of Chicago that aims to better understand how drug cartels in Colombia are organized and operate and how they recruit new members." www.science.org/content/arti...

One week to go. Let’s win this, together.

Small businesses, like the Portugalia Bakery, are the heartbeat of our communities. It’s time to get our economy back on track so that more people want to open places like this. It’s time to build an economy that Canadians have confidence in.

These tariffs are an unjustified, direct attack on Canadian workers, families, and businesses. (1/4)

If this is true, then Elon is taking the third rail of American politics and shoving it down Trump’s throat.

Rick Scott, who took the 5th 75 times when he was investigated for Medicaid fraud, says AOC “should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law” for advising people of their rights: “We took an oath to uphold the constitution, not to tell people how to evade the constitution.”

You should know that a big part of 18F's work was to make sure multi-million to multi-*hundreds*-of-millions dollar contracts at fed *and* state level didn't go to shitty enterprise IT consultancies that *repeatedly* delivered tech that didn't work, was late, or didn't even do what it needed to

Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA): “I will not be attending President Trump’s address to Congress. The state of the union is that the President is spitting in the face of the law and he is letting an unelected billionaire fire cancer researchers and wreck federal agencies"

TOMORROW: @ianbremmer.com thinks we’re in an AI race with China, and that Trump has us woefully unprepared. He sits down with @therickwilson.bsky.social to discuss that and more on the LP Podcast. Subscribe here: youtu.be/O5djBYRxOUg

Fox and Newsmax are destroying this country! Folks need to start suing those fake news networks on behalf of their families. This is so sad. This dude talking to his dad who drank the Kool-Aid about Zelensky and the war. Whew!

Full page in today’s Anchorage Daily News:

Top Republicans are urging Trump to get "back on track" with Zelenskyy, calling their testy meeting last week "a missed opportunity."

Job news from me!! 🎉🎉 I’m beyond thrilled to share that I’m starting at @wired.com as a business reporter starting next Monday, March 10!! Freelancing with them has been amazing, and I’m honored to be joining the killer reporters on staff right now. So excited to get to work!!

Rep. Jim Himes: Zelenskyy is watching 70,000 dead Ukrainians. Missiles are slamming into hospitals. This is what he’s seeing, and he comes to the Oval Office, and a reporter asks him why he’s not wearing a suit. And the effing VP wants him to say thank you…

Our national shame knows no bounds under the Trumperate of Trump/Musk/Vance.

Having out of town guests over. We were going to make them a meal, as has been the custom in virtually every culture in human history, but I think instead we'll berate them, criticize their clothing choices, and demand they thank us for everything.

BREAKING: Head of FBI's New York office is forced out after questioning President Trump's pursuit of agents who investigated Jan. 6 cases, sources say.

The MAGA Junta threatened to go after the S. & Ex. Commission in #Project2025 & in the 1st days of the autocratic nightmare we’re subjected to. I hadn’t heard anything further, so I hoped they’d “thought better” of it. Silly me!! “Thinking better” is just not something RINOs can learn..

If you aren't familiar with anti-psychiatry, might be a good time to become so. We've a lot of it lying ahead of us. If we don't navigate it with an awareness of what lies on the other side, we will soon have some rather big – as in even bigger – problems. A primer: newrepublic.com/article/1918...

my father, retired white engineer who has lived in oklahoma 45 years: “they should deport the son of a bitch to south africa and then south africa should bury him under a prison”, in case you wondered what the medicare set thinks

Conan: You know, Anora is having a good night. That's great news. Two wins already. I guess Americans are excited to see somebody finally stand up to a powerful Russian.

A reflection on Canada and the dark times we are living in. We are no longer just playing shinny. The stakes are dangerously high. When Mike Myers gave the "elbows up" sign, we know what to do. Read my latest Substack here on why Canada won't break. charlieangus.substack.com/p/elbows-up?...
