Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?" Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

Made an order for scientific instrumentation back in January from the UK. Just got slapped with a 10% tariff on delivery this month. I’m no business guru, but good luck planning in this environment.

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

"President Trump’s tariffs could drive up prices. His efforts to reduce the federal work force could increase unemployment. But ask economists which of the administration’s policies they are most concerned about and many point to cuts to federal support for scientific research." 🧪

Four Tesla-owned dealerships reported that they sold an astonishing 8,653 cars during a single weekend in January — enough to qualify for 43 million Canadian dollars’ (about $30 million) worth of government subsidies. Now those numbers are under scrutiny by the Canadian government.

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again. This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.

I have just asked the Governor General to dissolve Parliament and call a federal election on April 28. We need to build the strongest economy in the G7. We need to deal with President Trump’s tariffs. Canadians deserve a choice about who should lead that effort for our country.

One thing everyone should understand is that DOGE has created the least efficient conditions for government I've ever seen. The working conditions are chaotic. No clear sense of who works there. Routine processes have been stopped. No planning can take place. *People are incredibly demoralized.

People are changing the labels on Wayne G's wine: "a merlot that is sad and 2 faced" "as weak as the name-sakes moral fibre." There is a reason why Canadians dominate comedy - we are wickedly funny. And when push comes to shove we play for keeps (ie. Kharmalov's ankle). Sucks to be you Wayne.
