Icelanders on Saturday will vote in a knife-edge referendum on whether to resume negotiations to join the European Union, reopening a debate that has taken on deeper significance in the wake of U.S. President Donald Trump’s Arctic saber-rattling. The question put to the Nordic nation of nearly 400,000 is simply: “Should Iceland resume accession negotiations with the European Union?” Read more: cnb.cx/4zEZjBn

BREAKING: "You cannot rename away our history!" Chief Margaret Sault of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation DESTROYS Trump's pathetic attempt to rename Lake Ontario. The MAGA cult leader really bit off more than he can chew this time... "Lake Ontario has existed for thousands of years, long before Canada and the United States became the countries we know today," Sault told Yahoo News Canada. The word "Ontario" is rooted in indigenous language, although scholars disagree on the precise etymology. The government of Ontario officially traces it back to the Iroquois word "kanadario" which translates roughly to "sparkling water." Earlier today, our sweaty, demented, pedophile of a President held a big splashy event in the Oval Office to scrawl on a map with a Sharpie and sign a document declaring that Lake Ontario is now "Lake America." It's the same tacky stunt that he attempted with the Gulf of America, but his administration is such a disaster now that only the most diehard MAGA cultists are falling for the distraction. "For the Mississaugas of the Credit, this is not simply a lake on a map. It is part of our homeland and part of our history as a Nation," said Sault. The MCFN has a long, storied connection to the western Lake Ontario area and their rights to the land are etched in a treaty dating back to 1806, after which they still controlled hundreds of thousands of acres and retained fishing rights at the Credit River, 12 Mile Creek and 16 Mile Creek. "You can change a label on a map, but you cannot change the relationship that our people have with these lands and waters," said Sault. "You cannot rename away our history." Trump's desperate renaming attempt is a transparent effort to pull headlines away from his failed Iran War and the Epstein files. At the same time, it's throwing red meat to his hooting, xenophobic followers who love it every time he insults or attacks a foreign country or marginalized group. These people will gladly let him torch the economy, drag us into endless wars, and cover up his sex crimes so long as they can chant "USA" at his rallies in a mindless braying mob. Mississauga Mayor Carolyn Parrish sided with the Mississaugas of the Credit in a post on X— "Dear Mr. Trump: Since the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation established their homes close to and along the shores of this lake, it has been our lifeblood," she wrote. "I, and everyone in Mississauga, am proud to be living along the shores of LAKE ONTARIO. We will defend its good name!" As for us, we stand with Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and Canada. What about you? Please ❤️ and share if you'll never call it Lake America!

Trump's tariffs have cost Michigan $5,619 per household — higher than every other state — just so Trump can play his little vanity games. Rogers will never call this out because he's corrupt and a coward.

.@Lawrence: Future generations may laugh at Trump’s madness. But first, we will have to survive it. bsky.app/profile/lastwo…

Last October, the administration canceled billions in clean energy grants, calling it waste. Budget Director Russ Vought called it “green new scam funding.” Now we know the truth. A Department of Energy lawyer conceded that 284 grants, roughly $7,500,000,000, were terminated “solely” on political criteria: projects in states that voted against Trump and have two Democratic senators. Grants in Trump-voting states were left alone, even when the Energy Department had recommended cutting some of those too. This was money Congress appropriated for grid upgrades and job-creating energy projects, cancelled not for waste, but because of how people voted.  The same pattern has shown up with FEMA and child care funding. A total disgrace. Read more here: nytimes.com/2026/07/24/bus…

The Office of Special Counsel has yet to resolve six of CREW's complaints against top Trump officials who appear to have violated the Hatch Act. If the most politically powerful officials can skirt the law, what does that say about our government? govexec.com/oversight/2026…

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court issues temporary restraining order BLOCKING United States Postal Service from implementing key sections of its Trump directed anti-voting rule. democracydocket.com/cases/trump-ma…

After being told we were fired for insubordination, my colleagues and I today filed a lawsuit in federal court against the Defense Department, Pete Hegseth, Sean Parnell and Andrew Brey seeking to protect our First Amendment rights. Everyone deserves the right to a free and independent press, especially our service members. This lawsuit is about safeguarding the mission of Stars and Stripes journalists so they can continue to do their jobs without fear or retaliation. washingtonpost.com/business/2026/…

BREAKING: A federal judge has once again blocked Trump’s anti-mail voting executive order — just a week before the first mail ballots go out for the midterms. U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani issued a 14-day hold on the directive, which could end up back in the Supreme Court.

Peltola led 48.1-42.7 (+5.4) with 80% of the vote counted. She's now up 48.9-42.1 (+6.8) with 94% of the vote counted. Also creeping closer to 50% of the vote.
