The current incompetent administration in the White House has emboldened Netanyahu, Putin and others who know this is their window of opportunity to act without risking American action, and it likely won’t last long.

Not a single international cargo ship at the Port of Seattle. The port is dead. The last ship from China will dock at a West coast port on the 29th, and the last Chinese ship will dock on the East coast around May 10th. After that, there will be no more shipments arriving from China. We’re screwed.

1. Something that many people may have missed but that was an extremely revealing & dog whistling statement #PierrePoilievre made towards the end of #Debate2025.
It was a parroting of Pete Hegseth. Poilievre is so mired in the MAGAsphere that he just can’t help but parrot MAGA ideology. #MapleMAGA

Bukele was livestreaming on X wearing a lapel mic as he and Trump walked into the Oval Office.
“We want to do homegrown criminals next.” Trump said. “You gotta build about five more places.”
Bukele: “Yeah, we’ve got space.”
