Trump says Gordie Howe bridge won't open without Canadian concessions Canada has footed the entire cost of the $5.7-billion Gordie Howe bridge construction project, aiming to recover costs through toll collections.

Another reminder that no nation should make any deal with Trump’s United States. None. You can’t make any deal with a corrupt crook that will break every deal. Simple as that.

“The Nation” Nominates Minneapolis for the Nobel Peace Prize With their resistance to violent authoritarianism, the people of Minneapolis have renewed the spirit of Dr. King’s call for “the positive affirmation of peace.”

"The moral leadership of the people and city of Minneapolis has set an example for those struggling against fascism everywhere on the face of a troubled planet, & this, we believe, merits recognition through the award of the Nobel Peace Prize— @thenation www.thenation.com/article/acti...

The same circumstances are true when it comes to metro systems.

China opened more metro lines in 2025 alone than exist in the entire countries of Russia, UK, or France. Over the past 4 years, China built 2.5x as much metro lines as the US has in total.

"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."

"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."

80 years later and they're still relying on the "just following orders" defence.

Without the protection of onerous tariffs, EVs are now cheaper to buy and MUCH cheaper to run than ICE vehicles. This only ends one way, no matter how much the fossil fuel cartel protests. #EnergyTransition #CleanTech

The WaPo clearly does not understand the meaning of "trolling". This is not Canada trolling, this is Canada making a deliberate decision to move away from partnerships with the US. This is Canada refusing to be bullied. It's a sad day for America, but it's leaders are too dumb to realize that.

"If great powers abandon even the pretense of rules & values for the unhindered pursuit of their power & interest, the gains from transactionalism will become harder to replicate" -- Carney's speech at Davos is an extended criticism of the damage Trump is doing (though he's not mentioning his name)

Carney: "We stand firmly with Greenland and Denmark and fully support their unique right to determine Greenland's future. Our commitment to NATO's Article 5 is unwavering ... Canada strongly opposes tariffs over Greenland"

I have some American followers. This is worth a listen.

This is really F'd up. Someone vetted that survey before it went out.

“A pastor here is also director of the field office for ICE… so someone teaching people about God is out there overseeing ICE agents. How dare you.”

Gee. Shocker. #Krasnov leaks critical info to his Daddy, Putin. I'm so shocked. 🤦‍♀️

God bless the Minnesota resistance.

Deutsche Bank here with the good stuff.
Game on.

"Trade is not fundamentally about competition. It's not us versus Canada. It's us and Canada." It's really about cooperation. And if the United States won't cooperate reliably with Canada, we shouldn't be surprised when Canada looks for new friends to cooperate with. And Americans miss out.

I spoke to the Secretary-General of NATO, Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, Friedrich Merz and Giorgia Meloni.

Together we stand firm in our commitment to uphold the sovereignty of Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark.

They Didn’t Come to Protect Minneapolis. They Came to Provoke It. A woman is dead after an encounter with ICE agents in Minneapolis, and the rush to justify it tells us everything about where this country is headed — toward provocation, federalized force, and invest

A woman is dead in Minneapolis after ICE agents opened fire.
I don’t need to be a use-of-force expert to say this plainly: she did not need to be shot.
And no fair investigation is coming from the same system that wanted this confrontation in the first place.

If you're not outraged that a six year old child is now without a biological parent because of Donald Trump's racially-motivated mission to militarize our neighborhoods with the deployment of bands of hateful thugs, then you are simply a bad person.
