Trump threatens to block the new Gordie Howe bridge between Windsor and Detroit because Canada hasn’t held up its end of the bargain and is taking advantage of the United States. Even though we paid 100% of costs and are giving an ownership stake to Michigan. Your president is a fucking asshole.

🚨FEDERAL RESERVE CHAIR POWELL: “Those are pretexts. The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the federal reserve setting interest rates based on our assessment of what will best serve the public, rather than following the preferences of the president.”

The US had a trade surplus in services of $293 billion in 2024, with total exports of over $1 trillion. Trump has opened the door to tariffs on US services to address other countries’ “trade deficit”.
Sorry, Hollywood, healthcare, insurance, financial services, travel… or 25% of the US economy.

If you take Canadian oil out of the equation, Canada actually has a trade deficit, and the U.S. has a surplus — of $58 billion.
We supply cheap oil to the USA to ensure North American energy independence, so North America can never again be held hostage by OPEC countries.

Well, isn’t this just a bunch of lies? The White House moved to clarify Musk’s role within the DOGE after a court filing this morning stated that the tech billionaire is neither an employee nor an administrator of the commission and has “no actual or formal authority to make government decisions.”

When will Kennedy announce he’s looking into the impact of micro plastics in the food chain (and human brains) on human health. And Round Up on cancer rates. There are a couple of nice low hanging fruit.

Shades of the Spanish civil war in the US. An unholy gathering of the authoritarians (the royalists) the wealthy (land owners), the far right and the Church. When the generals joined them things got ugly fast.

If we learned anything from Vance trying to educate Europe about totalitarianism it’s that the United States likes dictators and greed backed by force. Also it’s past time for democratic countries to band together for mutual defence.

Any fact Donald Trump doesn’t like is fake news. Now he’s in charge of regulating American products. If he continues to suppress unfavourable data like the spread of avian flu, TB or listeria the rest of the world will blacklist untrustworthy American products.
