Hey 🇨🇦 the US plans to check ALL tourists and visitors’ social media going back 5 years! One more reason why Canadians should not travel to America unless necessary. The others, as I debate on TVO are safety, the signal we send and solidarity #cndpoli youtu.be/ZV-Cv_lLE9U?...

It reminded me of placating a toddler throwing a fit by distracting him with candy. It’s fucking insane that this man is the president of the United States.

People of Virginia:

Go ahead with the 10-1 Dem-Rep gerrymander of your commonwealth.

It's the only fair thing to do. It's your duty to history.

(My home state of Calif pioneered non-partisan re-districting commissions, but that was then.)
BREAKING: The Indiana House votes 57-41 to advance a Trump-approved congressional map that could eliminate both of the state’s Democratic districts. The map now heads to the state Senate, which is expected to take it up when it convenes Monday.

Trump says the people working for him are so incompetent that they don't even know how to track the tariff money
Trump: "They're finding money in our country now that they never knew existed. The other day -- $30b. Where did it come from? I said, 'Why don't you check the tariffs shelf?' They said, 'Sir, that tariff hasn't started yet.' I said, 'No, it started 2 months ago.' They call back- 'sir, you're right'"

Finally some good economic news: Trump family memecoins are crashing even faster than Bitcoin. Turns out grift-based crypto has the same staying power as a Trump university degree or his many other failed businesses!

I think we’ll see charges (pending Trump pardons, obviously), but I don’t think it’s going to be during this administration.

That being said, I do thing Hegseth and Patel are wearing out their welcome with Trump and we’ll likely see some junk drawer (Cabinet) rearrangement soon.

I’ve long advocated for the press corps to stand in solidarity and do two things:

1. Follow ups should be directly at him being an asshole and defending their coworkers

2. They should absolutely ignore him and refuse to give him any press other than the fact that he’s an asshole
