My statement on the United States administration’s intention to impose new tariffs on Canadian goods:

The foreign-gifted, $400 million jet now being used as Air Force One is one of the most brazen acts of presidential corruption in the history of our country. The kicker? It’s completely unfit for official use. So now Donald Trump is using even more of your taxpayer dollars to pay to “max” it out. We must pass my bill, the Presidential Airlift Security Act, to ban Donald Trump from using your money for his national security nightmare.

Trump bet nobody would check the math on his library fund. Warren checked. Up to $21 million is missing. dworkinsubstack.com/p/we-read-trum…

Because when Obama was president, ICE was doing its job. No masks. No beating up kids. No killing citizens. Under Obama, ICE was Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Under Trump, ICE has nothing to do with immigration. They're Trump's personal Nazi army. And people hate Nazis.

Governor Katie Hobbs has vetoed the state GOP's spending bill that would've given $600 million in tax breaks to billionaires. This protects healthcare and food stamps for middle-class families in AZ.

There is not a chance in hell that US alcohol is going back on the shelf in B.C.

@AnnieForTruth ..and no matter which way you take the word 'intelligence', Trump has neither because he thinks he knows it all and doesn't need to attend intelligence briefings..

Why Canada warms faster isn't due to Canadian Government policy: The fact that Canada warms at twice the global average is driven by Arctic amplification—a physical phenomenon where heat-trapping gases warm the Arctic disproportionately due to ice melt and atmospheric circulation patterns. This would happen to Canada regardless of Canadian policy; it's a consequence of global emissions warming the planet. However, while Canada has been slow to transition away from fossil fuels and hasn't met its climate targets, Canada has taken meaningful steps and Canada's emissions are a small percentage of global total.

Nearly 1000 wildfires are burning across Canada right now. Entire communities have been lost, and the impacts of the climate crisis are being felt coast to coast. Canada is warming at nearly twice the global average. And after decades of Liberal inaction, Canadians are the ones

So let me get this straight: The guy who made the least, Joe Biden, had every accusation, investigation, and smear imaginable thrown at him. Meanwhile, the guy raking in money hand over fist gets a complete pass from the same press corps? Do I have that right?

Trump's $4 billion Presidential windfall is unprecedented in scale & source. Obama's wealth grew from royalties on books written before office — and Bush's mostly from a sports‑team stake from over a decade prior. Most of Trump's new billions are from deals made in office.

Eby: "The United States is a huge market that is impossible for Canada to replace. But at the end of the day, if they don't want Canadian goods, if they don't like Canada, there's not a lot we can do about that. So let's focus our energy on the places that are really excited to trade with us and take this generational opportunity so that our kids are not put in the same situation of being too dependent on the United States."

For years, banning congressional stock trading was a rare thing most Americans actually agreed on. We were one vote away from getting it done. So naturally, Trump and Mike Johnson are setting it on fire. This week they’re rushing a fake “ban” to the floor. One that lets members keep every stock they already own, keep cashing the dividends, and sell whenever they feel like it with a little heads-up. Oh, and you can still trade on inside info. Just launder it through bonds, crypto, or commodities first. It doesn’t touch the President, the Vice President, or their families. The exact people with the most market-moving power on Earth. They carved out a loophole big enough to land a free Qatari jet in. But gutting the bill wasn’t insulting enough. They’re attaching the SAVE Act, their favorite voter-suppression pet project. Specifically so no Democrat can possibly vote yes. Poisoning their own bill on purpose, then pointing at us like we’re the problem. This wasn’t a mistake. They took a real, bipartisan, wildly popular reform and swapped it for a fake ban bolted onto a voter-suppression bill, and they’re betting you won’t read the fine print. Pass a real ban. All the trades. No exceptions for the powerful, starting at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. time.com/7382542/trump-…

Maine Senator @SenAngusKing: There is a serious threat to our elections in 2026 — and to democracy itself — but it’s not the Chinese, Venezuela, noncitizens voting or mail-in ballots. It’s Donald J. Trump. ms.now/opinion/trump-…

Your foolish and self-indulgent demolition of critical public health programs puts Americans at risk."

If Kamala Harris had won: -No war with Iran. -$2 billion/day would go to us, not war. -Soldiers killed would be alive. -Everyone ICE murdered would be alive. -Deficit wouldn't skyrocket. -We'd be able to afford healthcare & gas. -She wouldn't vandalize the White House. -She'd never use tariffs to steal from us. -We wouldn't pay millions for a ballroom. -She wouldn't give contracts to her kids. -She wouldn't sleep in every meeting. -She wouldn't post garbage 200 times/day. -She would NEVER try to cancel elections. -She'd never photo-bomb a World Cup pic. -She'd never sell crypto, cologne, and watches. -She'd never take an airplane bribe from Qatar. -The world would respect us. -We would respect us. -She would be for America, not for-profit.

@LakotaMan1 ..way too deluxe for Trump..

So, in lieu of Trump’s explosive diarrhea outbreak, I’m petitioning tribal council to have this outhouse named after him. Who here supports me in this endeavor? 🖐🏾

This would be a huge scandal for any other president. A South Korean company challenging Commerce Department trade penalties paid Donald Trump’s holding company $2,000,000 last year. The payment came from Base Group, the lead investor in Korea Aluminium, which faced penalties after the Commerce Department found that South Korean companies were circumventing trade duties on Chinese-made aluminum. The money surfaced in Trump’s annual financial disclosure released in late June. The disclosure described it only as a nonrefundable development fee tied to a letter of intent. The Trump Organization says it relates to an unannounced golf course project. Base Group has courted the Trump family for nearly a decade. It sells Trump-branded wine in South Korea and hosted Eric Trump at its Seoul headquarters in February, where executives discussed expanding trade between the two countries. As recently as last month, the Commerce Department was weighing whether to raise tariffs further on Korea Aluminium. A preliminary review released last week sided with American aluminum companies. The agency that decides this company’s fate answers to the president. The president took $2,000,000 dollars from its largest investor. This is one payment. Trump’s holding company collected at least $125,000,000 from foreign sources last year, from more than a dozen countries. Every president in modern history stepped away from their business to avoid even the appearance of a conflict. This president kept nearly 30 ventures with foreign partners and now profits from companies whose fortunes his own government controls. This cannot be normalized. Either we will end the corruption, or the corruption will be the end of us. nytimes.com/2026/07/14/us/…

Trump claimed his tariffs would bring about a golden age of American manufacturing. Yet since his re-election, we've lost 75,000 manufacturing jobs. Over the same period, Biden had created 625,000.
