Where are the MSM pointing out DT's inconsistency. He castigates other nations for currency manipulations to do end runs around his tariffs & then he demands the Fed's Powell do exactly the same thing. He's sucking & blowing at the same time, folks!

DOGE Is the Deep State A shadowy group of unelected figures reshaping the federal government to their own benefit from the inside? Sounds familiar!

Okay somehow it's Friday and somehow we made it (congrats!) 🀯

To make the doomscroll easier, here's a thread of all the wild stuff we learned this week, starting with @brbarrett.bsky.social's analysis on why DOGE *is* the deep state (and Elon Musk's extended universe.)

I suspect these folks will find that global warming has tumbled down the list of Canadians' top concerns. Most are more worried - thanks to Trump's tariff threats - about whether or not they will have a job this time next year & will be able to keep the roof over their heads & food on the table.

Teslas turn toxic as sales crash in Europe and the UK EV sales in the region are growing, but not for Tesla.

Tesla sales dropped around 13 percent across Europe in 2024, but so far this year, the scale of the problem is far greater.

It's all up to the White House. Punitive tariffs = recession in Canada & countermeasures that will hurt American business. Despite the bluster & blarney from Trump, there will be no winners here.

PP's rage farming is tiresome. A more positive message would be well received by swing voters who have grown weary of the Libs.
