This is part of why I think "evacuate Tehran" is just bluster. What really happened isn't even about Iran, it's that Trump did his usual thing at G7 but nobody said "sir yes sir" to it so he got mad and left. Then, being a grossly irresponsible toxic manchild, he blew off steam by threatening a war.
Donald Trump arrived in Canada and demanded that Russia be admitted into the G7. He falsely claimed Canada had Russia kicked out.
He refused to work out a deal with allies on the Middle East crisis and he left town before President Zelensky showed up.
Surprised?

Trump: "You're buying a crippled product from us because we just don't trust you."

At least he is giving his customers full disclosure. After being told that, I would be looking at more reliable alternatives from Europe.
This is the type of thing a man who has never had any *real* friends says.

Canada is slashing its order of F-35 fighters from 88 to not more than 32. It will re-invest the billions saved to purchase 60 or more Swedish Saab Gripen E/F-39's. The USA is no longer a trustworthy ally. Simply.

Trump's white supremacist government is trying to erase all the accomplishments of non-white Americans from the history books. This is not normal!
The Army just deleted without explanation its page about the 442nd “GO FOR BROKE” infantry regiment—the Japanese American WW2 unit that is the most decorated in US military history.

Beyond disgraceful.

My incredibly proud Mexican-American father, uncle, sister and brother served with honor and distinction.
My uncle has since died of Covid under Trump’s watch, doubling the horror.

Let this sink in—the head of the EPA has now labeled climate science as “religion”, and reframed the purpose of the EPA to “lower the cost of buying a car… and running a business”—the ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY!

That’s where we are now.

Our system of laws depends on people — lawyers — taking adversarial positions in court, including against the government. Indeed, especially against the government! It’s central to the guarantee of freedom. The attack on law firms and lawyers at civic groups is an attack on all of our freedoms.

PM #MarkCarney ordered a review of Canada’s contract for 88 F-35 fighter jets, in response to tariffs & expansionist rhetoric from #Trump

#1 choice is Swedish-built Saab Gripen. Assembly & maintenance would be in #Canada + there'd be transfer of intellectual property - unlike USA's #F-35

It’s been said many times that the treaties supersede the separatists.

Trump and Musk are basically trying to deskill America:
1) kill all white-collar jobs and replace them with AI
2) kill universities
3) use tariffs to turn the U.S. into an economic island manufacturing, oil and ag hub
4) empty the cities
5) push men into manual labor & women back into the kitchen

Agreed. All but one Dem in the house voted against the CR, and all but these 10 in the Senate.

Dems need restructuring and reform. @schumer.senate.gov needs to step down as minority leader.
Blaming "the Dems" for what MAGA DOGE is doing, is just wrong! Blame:
•Schumer,
•Durbin,
•Cortez Masto,
•Fetterman, •Gillibrand,
•Hassan,
•Peters,
•Schatz,
•Shaheen

•And EVERY REPUBLICAN but Sen. Rand Paul.

Spare me the Dem rage.

The moronic and cruel VA cuts are stunning…

Trump is slashing staff, delaying benefits, and gutting vets’ healthcare—while pretending to “support the troops.” Fewer doctors, fewer services, more vets left struggling.

Patriotism isn’t just waving a flag—it’s taking care of those who served.

The order against the firm, which did work for Democrats during the 2016 campaign, represents an escalation of efforts to punish groups the president sees as aiding his enemies.
