Donald Trump thinks he can bully Canada. He has only succeeded in uniting Canadians like never before.

We Canadians are done being polite. We’re boycotting American products, skipping vacations in the United States, and standing shoulder to shoulder in opposition to Donald Trump.

The UK public overwhelmingly say US oligarch Elon Musk is a threat to democracy and trying to sabotage their country. The majority see him as a joke and opportunist.

"Musk is a deeply unpopular figure in the UK, with a net favourability rating of -35, lower than Nigel Farage or Tommy Robinson."

THREAD: In 2023, I received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of 1000s of secret files.

It came from a vigilante with a tumultuous past, who'd conducted a years-long undercover operation. He didn’t tell the FBI or his family. He only told me.
