We want to have you.

Can we please all agree that this experiment of putting a man who bankrupted a casino in charge of America’s economy is not going well at all?

If a deranged president intentionally destroying the country's economy with a ludicrous obsession (and misunderstanding) of tariffs *isn't* justification for invoking the 25th Amendment, I honestly can't imagine any scenario that would be.

Sen. Tillis (R-N.C.) says he’s inclined to support the Grassley-Cantwell bill. Says he’s heard from constituents worried about the tariffs, esp farmers & restaurant/lodging sectors. Everyone in red states :: call your reps!!

Stop calling them reciprocal tariffs. They're not. These are tariffs initiated by one person: the convicted Felon in the WH.

I have a trade deficit with the local grocery store. They sell me food, they never buy anything from me. Luckily I understand that if I have money coming in from my employer—he buys my labour—then that trade deficit doesn’t matter. Same with Canada. US needs their oil. Offsets are elsewhere.

Planes crashing, economy crashing, democracy crashing, alliances crashing, national security crashing, American consumer confidence crashing, what did we think we were going to get by electing a lunatic? We’re getting exactly what we deserve for being so stupid as a nation. We’re better than this!

Elise Stefanik really rebranded herself into a full-time bootlicker just to get dumped and discarded. Tough break.

I read the so-called plagiarism accusations. None of them amounted to anything. In a couple, he “slightly reworded” a consensus economic view, amounting to 20 words total. And PP? He has no such accusations because he couldn’t write a PhD thesis in economics to save his soul.

It is absolutely right that we do not need Greenland (or Canada) for natsec reasons because they are already close NATO allies. So the only rationale to turn the US into an aggressor in our own hemisphere is if you don’t plan on NATO being a US alliance in the future.

“The Danish eat your pets!” he proclaims, as Greenlanders treat him as a liberator.

Bill Maher: “A cult is really a cult when the leader asks you to turn on friends and family…Which brings me to America, suddenly saying to our closest friend in the world, you know what? ‘Fu*k Canada,’ for no particular reason…”

🚨The fact that the Department of Justice has not, and will never, launch an investigation into this massive national security breach tells you all you need to know about this lawless and profoundly corrupt Administration.

I think Canada should recruit Dr. Marks. He might want to live in a sane country for a while.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says the relationship Canada had with the United States is now over and I don’t blame him one bit. I’m an American and I’m 100% rooting for Canada. 🇨🇦

I see this happen on a daily basis. Treating Trump’s dream of dictatorship as if it’s already in place helps no one. Lots of space to oppose him is still available.

Josh Marshall is right. Trump was busy bitching about how unflattering his Colorado portrait was. He wasn’t making this decision.

Hold on, so Steve Witkoff was participating in the Signal group discussing war plans against Houthis while being physically in Moscow, perhaps even in the Kremlin? He met Putin late on March 13. Obviously the odds of Russia not compromising any device he would bring there are pretty slim.

POILIEVRE & SMITH: THE QUISLING BRIGADE open.substack.com/pub/charliea...

Are Americans so blasé that they don’t care when their government lies to their faces? The NSA has already confirmed the story is true. Heggseth’s ad hominem deflection is pathetic.

Tulsi Gabbard too? The Director of National Intelligence?

If you are considering a trip to the US, please reconsider. Why reward Donald Trump’s America with your tourist dollars? https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/mar/18/us-trump-boycott

As I just said on radio what is most alarming about Danielle Smith tape is not the attempted collusion with a foreign government to interfere in our election it's that she said Poilievre is "in sync" with "new direction" in America which is a brutal autocracy with a crashing economy 🇨🇦 #CanadaSky
