Carney: But this decades-long process of an ever-closer economic relationship with the United States is now over. And as a consequence, many of our former strengths as a country—more particularly, our economic strengths based on close ties to America—have now become our vulnerabilities…

Got a Minute or Two?: The Attack in Chicago The night-time raid on a Chicago apartment building and its residents is an ugly escalation by an immoral regime—and an attack on all decent people

"What kind of monsters grab children & take them outside without clothes? Who does that? What kind of govt permits its agents to abuse American citizens & non-citizens w/o the slightest concern for their rights, their well-being, indeed their basic humanity?"

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

They sure hate being called a cult, but... c'mon.

As a Canadian, having the president of the United States tell me that my country is “going to hell” is offensive and ignorant. I’m sure many people out there feel the same way.

Americans are paying over 20% more for coffee under Trump than under Biden. When Trump brags about tariff collections, he's bragging about his tax on your cup. Good morning!

Some of us do.

I know that routine very well!

Inflation is so bad these days that taking a $50,000 cash bribe can't even get you indicted. SAD!! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Trump said the goal of the summit was a ceasefire. If no ceasefire, there will be consequences for Russia.

Putin gave Trump the middle finger. Said he would continue fighting and committing war crimes.

Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."

Gotta say, watching the US teeter on the edge of failed-statehood has not been great for my mental health, and I live north of the border. Sending love and strength to my American friends.

So it’s not “Big & beautiful”?

The Mideast Is Donald Trump’s Safe Place On the “free” airplane from Qatar, and an American President with a self-interested foreign policy a sheikh could admire.

Trump has long had plane envy. “People come in from, especially the Middle East countries, with brand-new 747-800s, the brand-new super-duper-new one, and we have planes that are thirty-one years old," he told @sbg1.bsky.social and me when we interviewed him in 2021 www.newyorker.com/news/letter-...

If you're shocked about corruption in American politics, I invite you to take a gander at our campaign finance "system."

Rand Paul on Fox Biz: "I do think the jet probably sends the wrong signal, and I don't like the look or appearance of it, so I would hope he would reject it. The Constitution specifically says you can't take gifts from foreign leaders."

Aaaand there it is.

Trump envoy relied on Kremlin interpreter in meetings with Putin to end war in Ukraine Using the Kremlin’s interpreter was “a very bad idea” that put Witkoff “at a real disadvantage,” Michael McFaul, a former U.S. ambassador to Russia, told NBC News.

NBC reports that, shockingly, during his latest Moscow pilgrimage Witkoff met with Putin and his two negotiators alone and without his own interpreter, relying - in breach of protocol - on a locally present one www.nbcnews.com/world/russia.... However, this seems half the problem (1/n)
