Well this will definitely convince Canada to drop their tariffs.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump signs order directing interior secretary to rename Lake Ontario to 'Lake America' as Canada trade war persists.

Three days into an unnecessary war with Iran and the President has utterly failed to lay out a credible reason for why the strikes were launched or a clear plan for how it ends and makes America safer. Talked through it all on @bloomberg.com's special coverage.

Who cares?

The volume of Canadians taking road trips into the U.S.—the way most Canadians visit—dropped by 37% last month compared to July 2024, according to new data from Statistics Canada, following a 33% drop in June. There was also a 26% decline in air travelers from Canada year-over-year.

Gabbard, Rubio, Ratcliffe all agreed back in 2018 that Russia tried to influence the 2016 election. Here's Gabbard:

Not remembering he appointed Powell himself is kind of a perfect encapsulation of how poorly thought out and stupid this move is.

Trump on Powell: “I was surprised he was appointed” (Trump appointed him)

So once again we’ve jumped into war in Middle East with no clear strategy, goal, or exit plan and little American support. Trump put U.S. troops, diplomats, and civilians in harm's way because he can’t stomach the hard-nosed diplomacy necessary and we’re all less safe because of his decision.

Signed with the auto pen?

Trump: You all know the great PM of the UK and we just signed a document *drops documents* Trump: A little windy out here. We just signed it and so we have our trade agreement with the EU

For no reason, today I've been thinking about that time a bunch of GOP House members broke into a SCIF where classified hearings were being held with media in tow, refused to give up their devices, and live tweeted from inside. No one was escorted out or put in cuffs. www.wired.com/story/republ...

WOW. The Trump admin said they will review social media and deny immigration benefits to people saying antisemitic claims. They're even trying to deport people with green cards on alleged claims of antisemitism. Anyway, here's a tweet from an Afrikaner they flew here on Monday.

It is honestly wild to me that Republicans cooked up a bill that would prohibit D.C. from spending more than $1 billion of its own budget, devastating our city services out of pure spite, *and Senate Democrats might actually vote for it.* Utterly appalling. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

washingtonpost.comHouse spending bill would lead to $1B in D.C. cuts. Here’s what that means.The bill, also known as a continuing resolution, now moves to the Senate, where D.C. officials hope Democrats will help them defeat the measure.

40 minutes in and it appears Trump only has “concepts of a plan” to lower prices.

Adam Hodge@hodgerc.bsky.social

20 minutes in and still waiting for anything Trump has done to lower prices for the American people.

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT? Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.

This is really painful to watch. Really have to hope we don’t have a financial crisis where the world turns to Bessent and the Trump team for confidence.

For anyone still under the illusion that US Treasury Secretary Besset was the lone reasonable professonial in the mad house, here you go. Almost painful to watch. He looks like it's 10 minutes to Kool Aid. youtu.be/AcNpAAhhG38?...

Donald Trump’s betrayal of America as a beacon of liberty and freedom today IN THE OVAL OFFICE was one of darkest days in American history. This was a triumph for Putin who has leveraged Trump as a Russian asset to do his bidding.
