What do NORAD documents actually state about America’s application of felony extortion in this matter? Reporters need to push back against these empty threatening Trump brain farts. We are still a rules based world, regardless of Trump’s trumped up false narratives. Canada is not America’s enemy.

In an era of great power rivalry, Canada is choosing to be principled and pragmatic. To name reality, to act together, and to build what we claim to believe in.

Must watch: NYT just released a damning forensic analysis of the ICE shooting in Minneapolis.

It flatly refutes Trump administration claims — confirming the motorist was driving away, not toward the officer, and the officer was not hit by the vehicle.
