The T***p regime is a clear threat to Canada and Canadians. We’re ready to defend ourselves against those threats. It’s baffling and sad that a neighbour has decided to breach the trust built up for over a century. #ElbowsUp

Interesting to consider that if you were to go and deface the Kennedy center by removing Trump’s name, you’d be arrested and charged with a crime, but your act would be no more unlawful than what they’re doing right now.

When you ask yourself, why would they go ahead and do things like this, changing signage when there's a question of the legality, you have to remember that it will cost money to undo it, and when people try to do so, they will be met with complaints that they're looking backwards and wasting money
Wasting no time, the Trump administration begins adding his name to the Kennedy Center building, ignoring the understanding that it would require an act of Congress. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/12...

2022 and 2025 are not the worst economic years in modern US history. Yet consumers think they are.
2008-09 had crashing markets and much higher unemployment.
Early 1980s had much higher inflation and higher unemployment.
Whatever consumer sentiment measures now, it's not really the macroeconomy.

Apparently Donald's plan to prevent communism in America is to create a secret police who act like the soviet KGB.
ICE is arguing in court that US CITIZENS can be detained, handcuffed, and biometrically screened unless they can prove citizenship on the spot. And that a REAL ID isn't enough. This isn't border security. It's a "papers-please" America where freedom is conditional and innocence comes last.

And then there is a third comedy option, which is that this isn't additional pay at all but rather is taking money from the reconciliation bill that was supposed to be used to plus up the BAH account (presumably to allow BAH increases in line w/higher housing costs) and doling it out in a lump sum
This is assuming they rerun the reprogramming script from the shutdown to give it a facade of legality
They could also go full mask off and just tell Treasury to redirect monies to DoD absent any appropriation or other statutory authority to do so, in which case it's officially the Cool Zone
