“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.

Well played.

Well said!

U.S. Marshals have warned federal judges of unusually high threat levels as Elon Musk and other Trump administration allies ramp up efforts to discredit judges who stand in the way of White House efforts to slash federal jobs and programs. www.reuters.com/world/us/jud...

Slotkin: While we are on the subject of Elon Musk, is there anyone in America who's comfortable with him and his gang using his own computer servers to poke to your tax returns, your health information, your bank accounts?

One more time for the people in the back.

Maria Bartiromo's show on impact of Trump's tariffs: "This Dodge Ram truck. $80,000. Instantly became $100,000."

Freeland: "If these tariffs are put in place, it is going to hurt Americans ... your grocery prices are gonna go up, bc you know what you need to grow food in the US? You need fertilizer. 80% of it comes from Canada and you're gonna be a 25% tax on it? ... the WSJ is right. This is dumb."

Trump knows MAGA is dumb enough to believe Canadian consumers will pay for Trump’s tariffs on them but MAGA won’t pay for Canada’s tariffs on us.

Well, I guess we’re going to find out if Smoot-Hawley works in a 21st century global economy. The market is betting against it.

Trump will go down in history as the only President ever to create a recession ON PURPOSE.

Any dissent must be fake because everyone loves Dear Leader.

Where NFL.com ranked the #49ers' 2024 draft class #FTTB Read:

The Chiefs' 2024 season was a masterclass in statistical anomalies. 15-2 record. AFC Champions. 3rd Super Bowl in a row. But beneath the surface lurked a shocking truth: They were never that good. Here's proof they were lucky to even get a shot at the 3-peat:

"If he wants to cut the budget, he's got majorities in both houses. He could just work with them to do it the lawful way."

IDEA: what if refs also got scored? We live in an era of reviews in sports. But every time the mistake by a ref is pivotal, the play isn't reviewable. This is untennable. So score the refs. Subtract the points from the winner's score. Bad calls shouldn't win games. www.si.com/nfl/cbs-rule...

1. Trump's policy toward China has changed dramatically since taking office. During the campaign, he was promising tariffs of 60% or more. Now Trump is down to 10% tariffs on China — or none at all How do you explain the sudden shift Two words: Elon Musk

Yep.
