So, if I’m reading this correctly, Congress appropriated a bunch of funds for specific purposes. Musk will be throwing that out the window and disregarding the law they enacted. But individual legislators can call a hotline and beg for their pet projects to be spared. That’s how we’re doing it now.

First @ABDanielleSmith couldn't brown nose to Trump fast enough, then she flip-flopped as soon as Trump showed his true colours...and now Canada can get ready for the third act: righteous indignation that Alberta might have to sacrifice just a bit. www.reuters.com/business/ene...

Canada should just start emulating US bourbon at scale and call it that. US law protects the name “bourbon,” as an America-made booze; and so does our Spirit Drinks Trade Act. Who cares? Stop enforcing the law. Repeal it. Let the Golden Era of Great Canadian Bourbon begin! t.co/hV3a08iefO

Stop looking for logic in Trump's actions. Or coherence. Even with regard to Russia or trade. We know his broad instincts. But we also know he'll abandon almost anything if there's some upside for him.
