He set out to make Canada more American and seems to have made Canada more Canadian. Empires have long discovered that humiliation is a remarkably efficient manufacturer of patriots. Bullying works best when the victim has neither alternatives nor pride. Canada inconveniently possesses both.

MAGA is too stupid to understand that Trump, the master dealmaker, is fighting against his own USMCA trade deal. He bragged about it 138 times on social media ( Link: www.thetrumparchive.com?searchbox=%2... ) right up until October 10, 2024. Suddenly he hates it. Why? Biden didn't change it.
Trump's need to assert dominance is igniting patriotism abroad and a backlash at home. His ridiculous bullying of Canada is completely backfiring. My latest for The Guardian. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/sep/02/trump-canada-tariffs-trade-war-backfiring

Most billionaires just inherited money and know less about money management than your average person who knows how to budget down to half a penny.
I wish the media would stop treating billionaires like economic geniuses
I know it’s a long list, but this might be the dumbest thing Trump has ever tweeted. The Fed would love to be able to lower rates, but Trump’s policies (including the moronic one he announces here) are preventing that from happening.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick disclosed at least $250 million in income last year, mostly from his prior ownership of Cantor Fitzgerald, according to his latest annual ethics filing. 🔗: https://on.wsj.com/4yk3cKk
The "risk prison" part is the dealbreaker that Trump doesn't understand. None of the little fish whose cooperation is necessary to make this plot work are going to risk going to prison for Donald Trump. Not even the Trumpers. Everyone has seen him throw people under the bus to cover his own ass.
. We must FOCUS and put the HEAT on the Republicans. Republicans are Trump accomplices. They are allowing Trump's criminal activity. They are all in this together. MAJORITY. >>> This would all STOP if they objected. <<< .
This is exactly what should happen. Trump can’t use the USPS to fuck up the election if the USPS simply doesn’t do so.
if enough US citizens wrote/emailed/phoned/screamed outside their office to their congressional reps to IMPEACH or face voter outrage ending their career, and kept it up, we could regain our #democracy People together as a force to be reckoned with Spread the word www.congress.gov/members

Many are veterans, so it’s not surprising that they believe in honoring their oath to the Constitution. And of those who aren’t veterans, many USPS workers understand the trust that citizens place in them & honor that trust.
I just keep yelling "speak to a pharmacist!" until it gets tired of trying to "direct the call".
Hey Walgreens, when someone calls asking to speak to someone in the Pharmacy, it means they want to speak to a living, breathing human being, not your AI assistant. I'm just letting you know that.
I have a drill and a metal-cutting bit. Will definitely put some holes in any and all of these that I see come my way. Fuck tyrants, anywhere and everywhere, for all eternity.
It's illegal according to black letter law, with no room for interpretation at all
The U.S. Mint releases video showing the manufacturing process for $1 coins featuring President Trump, issued to mark the United States' 250th anniversary in 2026. Critics have raised questions about the design's legality.
1. It is illegal to put living people on the coin. #kthxbye 2. He picked his mugshot for the relief. #lolwut So the Felon in Chief is now illegally on the 1-dollar featuring his mugshot. How very fitting... The rise of #FascistAmerica is such a joke. A cruel joke that could strangle the world.

Makes sense. No matter what you think of his politics, Mamdani has easily been one of the most, if not THE most, consequential public figures in this country this year. Agree?👇
BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani extends his lead in the odds to be the 2026 TIME Person of the Year, outpacing the Pope, Trump, & Netanyahu. 32% chance.
Completely unconstitutional. Take them at their word and deliver your ballot to your local polling location in person. Form carpools to assist those who struggle going to the polling location. Vote in the largest numbers in recorded history! 💙🇺🇸
really really REALLY hoping they do the right thing and say no
Oregon, and several other states, vote only by mail. No polling places. Our votes are audited for every election. Safe, secure. Election fraud is a lie, and the USPS must do their job to deliver the mail.
