Canada's ruling Liberals, who a few weeks ago looked certain to lose an election this year, are mounting a major comeback amid the threat of US tariffs and are tied with their rival Conservatives, according to three new polls reut.rs/41y58kW

DOGE is not about waste and fraud. This is about gutting government services without any evaluation of their need. Americans have decided to have and fund an effective National Park Service. Trump and Musk are trampling on democracy to do whatever the hell they want.

We have a weak Secretary of the Treasury. No predecessor in that post who would allow the White House, or even the president of the United States, to prowl around the inner workings of the department. Operatives of the executive office of the president have no business in these operations.

As Republican Senator Paul Rand correctly wrote on X, “Tariffs are simply taxes. Conservatives once united against new taxes. Taxing trade will mean less trade and higher prices.” #Drump's new tariffs on #Canada, #Mexico and #China is nothing less than a 25% tax www.politicususa.com/p/trump-blam...

Will any Republican in Congress show us simple courage and demand that Trump (and Musk) cease their unlawful acts? How long will it take for a Republican Senator or Congressional Representative demonstrate to the People that they are worthy of office, that laws matter, and Trump is not King?

The PM of Canada is announcing his response to Trump’s tariffs—a major inflection point in Trump’s trade war and relations with our closest ally. CNN, MSNBC, ABC News Live and NBC News Now aren’t carrying his speech. They’re in reruns. Another quiet way media aids and supports the Trump regime.

The story of this first week is corruption. Billionaires seated on the inaugural stage in front of the cabinet, crypto pump and dump, and the illegal firing of IGs. The media is acting like this is too chaotic and bewildering to interpret, but they are just afraid of sounding shrill. It’s corrupt.

No one has ever done this—TWICE—by accident. On camera. Before an international audience. Again, I've lived a long time. I have never done a Nazi salute. My parents, uncles, in-laws, etc would have gone berserk. I've seen this explained away as "autism." If so, keep him miles away from govt.
