I just googled "what is a lapdog" and this video came up.
Prime Minister Mark Carney, in a moment that I think had a lot of us treading on eggshells, gives a few remarks in the Oval Office.
He thanks Trump for his “leadership” and calls him “transformational” (which could be taken multiple ways).
Trump hears it positively, though, and gives his approval.

I find these statements ending with suggesting mental health support for students "affected" by STATE DISAPPEARANCES to be the most bizarre minor plot in this whole nightmare.

Watching an administration of violent, sieg heiling christo-fascists use Jewish vernacular while enacting Nazi policies against a marginalized group is more obscene than anything I could ever draw. Hope they all get what they richly deserve. 👍

The Trump budget has passed in the House of Representatives:
💸$4.5 trillion in tax cuts to the top 1% + corporations
🪖more money for war + mass deportations
🚑$2 trillion in cuts to programs like Medicaid + food stamps
This is a massive transfer of wealth from the poor to the uber-elite.

I'm reading Peter Beinart's latest right now.

On Trump tarrifs on Canada:
Important not to give into economic protectionism that bolsters nationalism & breaks transnational solidarity btwn workers, esp migrant workers
Instead, focus on ending *capitalist* trade, embedded in resource extraction. Oppose deregulation & strengthen public services
