I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws.

You know, like a democracy.

"What if your hero is in the Epstein Files?"

No way in hell Dolly Parton is in the Epstein Files.

Al Gore heckling the Commerce Secretary is peak 2026.

The Cold War ended and they replaced the USSR with Democrats and liberalism as their enemy.

Canada takes the stage.

Given the circumstances, I'd say thst he is overperforming for a political newcomer.

Anyone who doesn't pay fealty to the mad king is an enemy. Fuck these clowns.

Yup.

Second, everyday life is still pretty normal here. It's the exceptions that send off alarm bells. Things are good until suddenly they arent.

An observation (or two) from down south. First, y'all have responded well. I see a level of social cohesion that reminds me of the U.S. in the 30s. People either rise to the moment or they don't, and so far, you have.

Modern day speculators.

FWIW, he's openly acknowledged that the best proof of his ideas and governing philosophy is when they succeed. He may be a socialist, but he's sending signals that he's also a pragmatist.

That or this administration is plain nuts.

There's a reason. The cultural conservatives here don't want international openness, because if there is, they know that the country will change. I honestly think they want us a little isolated.

I second this. ❤️🇺🇸 ❌️🍊

My wife is Canadian. I asked her about some old cannons pointing across the Detroit river a few years ago. She stayed quiet. 😂

An enterprising left-leaning politician might find a way to work with evangelicals to regulate the industry across-the-board. But doing that would require leadership.

The troubled disability benefits system is also deteriorating after some improvement, with 66 percent of disability appointments scheduled within 28 days as of December — down from nearly 90 percent earlier in the year, data shows.

The Trump administration has said it was improving the SSA. A year in, it looks like the mess that everyone else predicted. Not enough staff, manipulation of numbers and declining performance.

Exhibit A in why the Democrats are completely feckless. Franken resigned over indiscretions that look trivial compared to those of Trump, when all he needed to do was say, "I'll resign when he does."

If you're gonna self-immolate, then make some good come from it.

The President is relying on the same legal theory for attacking Venezuela as he is for deploying US troops in American cities.

Let that sink in.

some identify publicly with the left because they hate oppression, others because they hate being oppressed. things will make more sense when you keep in mind that these are not the same - or even similar

Movement conservatism is an oxymoron. The moment that American conservatives started to act like insurgents and revolutionaries and reformers, they stopped caring about what the public wants.

They're gonna win, aren't they?

The world got mean this year, but I'm still standing. Is that the best you got?!

Are the artists who cancel boycotting themselves? 🤣

Something that suprized in 2025 was the maximalist Canadian response to the Trump administration. What didn't suprize me was how little my countrymen understand our neighbors.

US Trade Dominance Will Soon Begin to Crack Savvy countries will discover there’s a way to mitigate the harm incurred by Trump’s tariffs—and it’ll boost their own economies while making goods cheaper too.

The problem with picking a fight is that you can lose it.

RFK: “Where did all this autism come from? It never existed when I was a kid!”

“A Christmas Story”, a 1983 movie based on a 1971 memoir about a childhood in the 1930s: “This is my brother Ralphie. He has a ton of sensory issues and behaviors we don’t understand. Every family has a child like him.”

Looking at the historic reduction in US homicides from many angles. I appreciate the Real-Time Crime Index data - 12-month rolling trends for 570 cities 2018-2025. But this graph from U Chicago Crime Lab made me appreciate what Baltimore and St Louis have accomplished from their peak to 2025.

The past is never the present. If you want to accomplish something, you need a clear-eyed understanding of the world as it is, not as you think or hope it is. This has been Progressives' biggest failure during the Trump years.

This is some insane shit from Bari Weiss
