A tough column, but I think there is too much credulity re the notion that it is Trump/Musk's GOAL to "strengthen our society and better serve Americans"--it might be just as it seems, a simple grab for power and money. This is not what you'd do if your goal was to maximize outcomes for the group.

Can Wayne Gretzky be both a Trump supporter and a beloved hero in Canada? Some want him to pick a side. (Preferably the one to the north.)

Johnson is about to do ANOTHER CR to keep govt open until Sept, since he has been unable to pass his own budget. This was Johnson in NOV 2023: “I’m done with CRs. We are. We’re resolved.” He has repeatedly broken every promise he made in this clip, & is about to do it again.

A random comment. I'm on Tesla's mailing list for offers. Just got one offering 5 years 0% interest on buying a Model 3. In this interest environment, that's ... not a good deal for them. Just saying, I feel like maybe they're feeling the pinch a bit.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Kernen to Lutnick: When you talk about fentanyl and Canada, it sounds like an excuse. 43 pounds came across the Canadian border last year versus 21,148 pounds from Mexico. So it is really fentanyl?

I’m headed to a corn and soybean farm in Cannon Falls to hear about the impact of Trump’s tariffs on Minnesota farmers. Farming is a tough job, and it certainly isn’t made any easier by two out-of-touch billionaires cutting off economic opportunities.

Fox Business interviewed the owner of a Pennsylvania auto dealership who says of Trump's tariffs, "nobody is gonna buy the truck, because it just had $20,000 price increase ... this is pretty radical." The show then cut back to Maria Bartiromo, who threw a tantrum.

Democrats should boycott Trump's address tonight. If they feel they need to attend, they must not signal to the nation that we're living in normal times. Make good and loud trouble. Disrupt the speech. When he lies, boo loudly! Anything less will legitimize Trump’s coup.

A 25% across-the-board tariff on Canada does nothing to bring American manufacturing home, strengthen U.S. supply chains, or create jobs. Donald Trump promised to lower prices on “Day 1", but now families have to worry about higher costs.

Of course the main story is Trump’s authoritarianism. But the secondary story is that some university presidents and donors called for this. They went on the news and in front of Congress to claim their students were violent antisemites, funded by Iran, who don’t deserve speech rights

They should resign, and the very public resignation letter should read “I have no intention of lying about our journalism in order to provide Paramount with a pretext for paying Donald Trump a bribe.” Which is transparently what this is.

There is something downright surreal about this talking point that the guy whose country is being utterly ravaged by war somehow isn’t interested in peace. But the guy who decided to invade unprovoked is, presumably? People buy this?

L - Eric Trump tells people to “buy the dips” on crypto. R - A couple days later, Trump makes his crypto announcement. How much time did the media spend on Hunter Biden? I read more articles about Biden’s shoes than this blatant and obvious corruption.
