You might think that the mayor of Yellowknife, the capital of Canada's vast Northwest Territories, would be a fan of giant pickups.

Nope. He's disgusted by car bloat.

Imagine this in Russian on Russian state TV

The word for what Jesse Watters is describing here is un-American. A shredding of the constitution.

There nothing funny about it.

Trump: This is somebody nobody else can do. We will get the drug prices down… 1000% 600% 500% 1500%. Numbers that are not even thought to be achievable.

As of June 1, nearly 25% of the people arrested by ICE in the interior and sent to detention had NO CRIMINAL RECORD.

Data from the last six years, including 1.5 years of Trump's first term, reveals how this is completely unprecedented. It also helps explain the growing backlash.

The March fiscal monitor shows Canada collected $617-M more in customs duties than it did last year, which is presumably how much Ottawa's retaliatory tariffs on the U.S. reaped over the first month.

The 2018 steel tariffs just called to remind you that steel is produced by a tiny sliver of the economy, but used as an input by a much broader swathe of manufacturers.

The new Pope didn't tweet once in 2024. In 2025, he's posted 5 times, in which he:

- Criticized JD Vance's views on Catholicism and Jesus
- Posted an article opposing Trump's immigration policies
- Retweeted twice about the Pope's health
- Retweeted a criticism of Trump & Bukele's laughter at KAG.
