That's a lot of money

"Only fools or kremlin tools" is a nice little rhyme that benefits from being the truth.

If Charlie Kirk actually wanted to understand how the Constitution works he probably shouldn’t have dropped out of community college.

Any questions?

To be clear: a tariff is a tax.

"Why would a factory in Michigan move to Canada? Because there weren't unions in these locations." Union membership in Canada: 26.1% Mexico: 12.3% US: 10.3% www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/econog...

Facts

On 6 June 1944, while Americans were fighting at Omaha Beach, Canadians were fighting at Juno Beach. Our brothers, who fought and died by our side – who helped us defeat Fascism, are not our enemy. They are our true friends. Canadians are our brothers and sisters and I stand with them 100%.

Holy shit! The White House really is an arm of the Kremlin, and Trump is Putin’s asset. 🚨 The Kremlin praised the U.S. for changing its foreign policy to align with Moscow.

Governor Josh Shapiro: He has demonstrated nothing but weakness when it comes to national security over the course of his first month in office.

Go figure

BREAKING: Josh Shapiro just sued Donald Trump and won, unfreezing $2.1 billion in funds the administration tried to freeze. Another win for Democrats in the courts. Don’t let anyone tell you Donald Trump is unstoppable.

Reminder: Zelenskyy refused to leave Kyiv as bombs fell. Donold hid in a bunker from protesters with cardboard signs.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to ask if we suffered childhood trauma and concludes by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

Let's get this straight. Trump took credit for stock market and job gains under Biden— But inflation during his presidency? Not his fault. Got it.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Fact check: nearly 70 percent of US money for Ukraine actually went to US defense industry to replenish the stocks of OLD stuff that went to Ukraine to use. Much of which we would have paid to destroy as their lifespan expired.

I love our friends in Scotland.

Good messaging

New York City bankers learned 50 years ago that a Trump deal was worthless. Five years ago, Canada and Mexico made the mistake of trusting Trump's signature on a trade treaty. Now they are learning too. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
