U.S. trade deficit totaled $901 billion in 2025, barely budging despite Trump's tariffs The U.S. trade deficit swelled in December, closing out a year in which the imbalance was essentially unchanged.

Good job. Trump raises the cost of products in the US and around the world and doesn't even accomplish the one thing it was supposed to do. Everyone but that piss-haired fartmonger saw this coming.

It's like there's something not quite right in their heads.

There's a certain amount of "they get what they deserve" except the blast radius is so far beyond his voter base. If their mess was contained to their country, it'd be one thing.

Trump threatens to block opening of US-Canada bridge The Gordie Howe International Bridge, which connects Michigan to Ontario, is set to open this year.

Trump is having yet another tantrum. Canada paid for the bridge, for fuck sake. He's refusing to allow it to open until Canada "treats the United States with the Fairness and Respect that we deserve." I'd sooner see Canada demolish the bridge before caving to a tyrant.

Trump Calls U.S. Olympian Hunter Hess a 'Real Loser' Over Comments About Representing America Donald Trump called U.S. skier Hunter Hess a "real loser" after he expressed "mixed emotions" about representing America at the 2026 Winter Olympics

I don't think a draft-dodger has any right to call anyone, especially an Olympic athlete, a "Loser." Yet here are. Ol' bonespur just can't help but be a piece of shit. Yet again.

Who is in the Epstein files? Millions of Epstein-related documents released by the US justice department include the names of the world's rich and powerful.

"The anti-aging influencer and CBS News contributor Peter Attia exchanged hundreds of emails with Epstein"
I don't think describing Attia as "anti-aging" differentiates him from anyone else who was in Epstein's circle. Based on what went on, they were all anti-aging.

“Republicans ought to nationalize the voting”: Trump eyes radical power-grab Those concerned about democracy don’t have the luxury of simply shrugging with indifference to the president’s latest conspiratorial nonsense.

Now Trump's latest scheme is suggesting that Republicans take over elections. The same asshole caught on tape trying to coerce Georgia to just give him "a few more votes." Where to even begin with what the fuck is wrong in America right now. Vote this fuckstick out.

Canada's Pierre Poilievre re-elected Conservative party leader The opposition leader secured 87.4% of delegates' vote, despite recent electoral losses against the Liberals.

PP has been one of the most prominent figures in Canadian politics when sowing the seeds of dissent. It's only when facing the possibility of being shitcanned that he's suddenly promoting unity, because he knows it worked for Carney. You can't trust anything PP says.

Trump amps up trade war with Canada by targeting Bombardier U.S. President Donald Trump is threatening to impose steep tariffs on Canadian-made aircraft, escalating a dispute over aviation certification that he claims has unfairly blocked U.S. jet sales in Can...

For a country that allegedly has such a robust economy, Trump sure feels the need to hobble any competition that exists. The more he says and the more he does, the bigger admission that maybe the US economy isn't doing quite as well as he keeps lying to its citizens.

Protests erupt after man is shot and killed during Minneapolis immigration crackdown Federal immigration officers shot and killed a man Saturday in Minneapolis, drawing hundreds of protesters in a city already shaken by another fatal shooting weeks earlier.

It's important to note Trump is falsely saying the governor and mayor "are inciting Insurrection." Those are important words because that's exactly the wording that he claims allows him to send in the military. If they're sent in, this situation is going to explode.

Aww. It looks like we struck a nerve with Mango Mussolini. Good. Meanwhile, Trump is so dense that he doesn't realize he's doing exactly what he was accused of doing in Carney's Davos speech, using their size and tariffs as weapons. Can't read the room to save his life.

Trump withdraws invitation for Canada to join his global ‘board of peace’ While leaders of many liberal democracies declined to sign on, Mark Carney had, before Davos, accepted in principle

Phew! Looks like we dodged that bullet at least! Now Trump can focus on the bootlickers in his little fan club.

So now Trump's latest thing is that because he failed to win the Nobel Peace Prize, he's no longer under pressure to go after peaceful resolutions, and so that's why he's going after Greenland. Even though he threatened to take Greenland even before his failed Nobel bid. What a fucking idiot.

Federal Agents Used a Battering Ram to Enter a Minneapolis Home Without Valid Warrant, Video Shows “Any American should be terrified by…such an egregious violation of the Fourth Amendment,” said the arrestee’s attorney.

This is exactly what you get when your "agents" are nothing more than testosterone-fueled Call of Duty cosplayers. Slow clap for Meal Team Six.

ICE agent who shot Renee Good suffered internal bleeding, officials say Jonathan Ross, who shot Renee Good in Minneapolis last week, suffered internal bleeding after the incident, two officials said, though it's not clear how extensive the bleeding was.

What utter bullshit. The vehicle brushed him at most. What are his organs made out of? Paper mache? Given the spin and lies the administration has spewed for months now, I see no reason to believe this is anything more than another bullshit story.

I've never quite understood what passes as acceptable to some portion of the population.

The problem is that his supporters are just as stupid, so this'll fly right over their heads. They see things like this and the first thing that comes to mind is the Team America theme song. To them, Team America isn't satire, it's a RL documentary.

They were just trying to help! Look, they've almost rounded it! If they just drove a few more miles, it would be perfect!

Cats certainly love turning the most casual thing into the most dramatic world-ending event ever. :D
