Trump was outplayed by Canada on US Treasury bonds forcing Trump to “pause his tariffs” or risk a Depression.
Canada holds over $350 billion in US debt. Selling off this debt would cause interest rates to increase and the dollars to plummet.

Jeffrey Goldberg: "I could not believe that the national-security leadership of the United States would communicate on Signal about imminent war plans. I also could not believe...the national security adviser to the president would be so reckless as to include the editor in chief of The Atlantic."
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

They do seem like inconsistent positions, but the attacks on teachers was really about dismantling public schools to get taxpayer dollars for home schoolers and private charter schools run by charlatans.

This is one of the most shameful things I've seen in my life. Zelensky and the Ukrainian people are fighting for their lives, and MAGA is all up in its feelings because no one is allowed to disrespect Trump. He can be grotesque, but everyone else has to genuflect. Pathetic.
ZELENSKYY: Putin broke the ceasefire. What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you speaking about?

Donald Trump replacing a black four-star general with a white three-star general as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is everything MAGA claims they hate about DEI: giving a less qualified person the job based on their race, not their resume.

Saw a screening “A Complete Unknown” — it was exceptional. It gave me goosebumps. Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan is fantastic, but it’s Ed Norton as Pete Seeger and Monica Barbaro as Joan Baez who quietly steal the show. Every scene in which either one is in, it’s hard to take your eyes off them.
