Let’s reconsider Canadian statehood.
With a population of 40 million, Canada would have
2 Senators
53 House members
55 Electoral College votes
Begging, you Canada! Save us.

The Trump Recession is already upon us.
JUST IN: Spending at US retailers last month was much weaker than expected, in a troubling sign that the American shopper could be starting to tap out.

We are going to borrow more money to pump it into the crypto market to enrich scammers and leeches who produce nothing of value for humanity?

The irony. I'm here for the last of a blissful 6 weeks in Mexico and today, Mexicans are being told to avoid travel to 8 states in the US, including my own state because of measles. Not vaxxing is child neglect!
This RFK Jr. opinion piece is bizarre. Sure, Gaines Cnty, TX is a red area & party an uptake predictor, so could be argued Fox News useful to reach ppl, but wow the content: see how many antivax-pandering dog whistles appear throughout, diminishing its mention of vaccine benefits for measles. 🛟 🧪
