Iranian Parliamentary Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf:
Coverage of the Canada trade war seems to be underselling an important point: Trump tore up NAFTA and made everyone sign a new agreement more to his liking in 2020 with a 16-year renewable term. Now he's tearing up that agreement. If his signature is meaningless why would Canada agree to anything?

A reminder to wealthy Democrats: A great way to help make a blue wave happen this fall would be to donate $100 apiece to each of the ~2,500 Democratic nominees for state legislature I’m raising money for. That would be more effective than donating $250,000 to the DNC, DCCC or DSCC. #JustSaying
