Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far:
A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

UPDATE: El Salvador’s brutal far-right dictator, Trump and Musk friend Nayib Bukele, has confirmed that he will never return any person sent to him from America. And Trump has confirmed he wants American citizens sent to El Salvador to die in a foreign gulag. This is a five-alarm fire for democracy.
Yes, Donald Trump is Planning to Send U.S. Residents En Masse to Death Camps in El Salvador Run By Dictator Nayib Bukele
The White House meeting on Monday between Trump and Bukele isn’t quite a Hitler-Stalin summit, but in the context of this century’s politics and America’s descent into fascism, it approaches it.

I’m running for Mark Carney's Liberals in Calgary-Confederation.
I live here, work here, raise my kids here. I want to offer representation that understands the economy and the public interest and be an Alberta voice standing up for Canada at a challenging time. 🧵(1/X)

An "industrial strategy" with backward integration into natural resource sectors like critical minerals?
Oh. My. God.
Finally, a politician who understands economy development strategy.
Sorry, my Canadian voter just smothered my skeptical journalist.

I've never been more afraid of an election. This has the potential to destroy Canada. The Tories will do *anything* to wreck Carney's reputation.
If you're an NDP supporter, I need you to think long and hard about whether your efforts to big up your party will put PP in power.

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ?
They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses.
That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue.
