Canadians have increasingly bypassed U.S. travel for more than a year, and the boycott shows no sign of slowing down.

“Misfits and losers” describes his cabinet perfectly.
“When President Trump says that Iran is in a place of unconditional surrender, he’s not claiming the Iranian regime is going to come out and say that themselves.” -- Karoline Leavitt
That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works.

Russia preparing the legal framework for global military action.
A new bill would allow Putin to deploy Russian forces outside Russia’s borders to “protect Russian citizens
abroad.”
Same pretext used in Crimea.
Same language used before Georgia.
Same playbook again
In Lebanon, the United Nations warns nearly 700,000 people, including 200,000 children, have been forced to flee their homes over the past week as Israel continues to bombard Lebanon. Lebanese authorities say nearly 500 people have been killed, with the death toll rising by around 100 a day.
The FBI has obtained records related to the 2020 election in Arizona, a top state lawmaker said on Monday, as federal law enforcement continues to pursue President Donald Trump's false claims that his defeat in that campaign was the result of voting fraud. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...
Sadly she might be right
Meanwhile China is well on the way to energy independence.

“It should not surprise you that the same team which invited a reporter into a Signal chat about war plans a few months ago have been blindsided by the Iranian regime’s resilience.”

China works to free itself from reliance on fossil fuels. Meanwhile Trump wants to increase U.S. reliance on fossil fuels. China will achieve energy independence long before the U.S.

Trump says white South Africans are persecuted; some are returning to a better life
www.yahoo.com/news/article...
The Trump administration is ramping up its new refugee program for white South Africans, focusing on Afrikaners, the descendants of Dutch settlers. About 3,500 South Africans have entered the United States as refugees since the program started in May 2025.
MAGA is able to be terrified by trans gender reassignment, because they are defined by their penises. The idea of surrendering a penis is surrendering power and dominance. The very idea that a person would give up their “manly power” is anathema to them.
Yesterday, a lot of folks clocked this as market manipulation by screenshot and backspace.
Looks like someone in the White House made billions.
It's interesting to view Trump as a hard-nosed New York City real estate developer. He came up in a world of tough negotiations with high power opponents.
Only now as president, he can legally use the US military to kill people when negotiations fail. "He didn't agree to my deal, kill him". 🙃
You may be the least self-aware idiot in the world if you are gloating about someone being in the Epstein Files when you are in those same files *thousands* of times more often.

I remember when my Squadron Commander asked me why I would possibly want to get an advanced degree and teach at West Point when I could be driving a humvee around the California desert refereeing fake battles.
A couple years later I was out of the Army.

Years of mass drone attacks have stress-tested Ukraine’s air defenses, resulting in a system that has held up under relentless pressure. @dim0kq says the United States and its allies should be paying attention.
The DoD just now doing risk analysis on keeping the Straits of Hormuz open?
its cool how we’ve spent decades anticipating this exact scenario where a cornered iran would mine or otherwise deny access to the strait and the US gov is just like “woah, no idea they’d play this card in response to [operation: no iranian government official left alive]”
Apart from the moral repugnance, this is so revealing of how ignorant conservatives are about poverty. Poor people have to think about money ALL THE TIME. They worry constantly about what everything costs, how to substitute one purchase for another, what bill can be put off until payday, etc.
