Trump’s Trade War Is Driving US Into Recession, Canada’s Carney Says Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Donald Trump’s tariff policy is an act of economic self-sabotage that’s pushing the US into a downturn.

"The U.S. is driving itself into a recession," Prime Minister Mark Carney said. "I think the core message to Canadians is something I’ve said over and over again, but I want to really emphasize — we can give ourselves far more than the U.S. can take away."

‘Hamilton’ Cancels Kennedy Center Run Over Trump’s Takeover “We’re not going to be a part of it while it is the Trump Kennedy Center,” said its creator, Lin-Manuel Miranda.

“This latest action by Trump means it’s not the Kennedy Center as we knew it. The Kennedy Center was not created in this spirit, and we’re not going to be a part of it while it is the Trump Kennedy Center. We’re just not going to be part of it.”

There's a reason Trump hates Marc Elias - he's literally distributing very important information (in an accessible way) that is normally ignored or glossed over by most media.

This is the cowardice of The New York Times. Legacy media is failing.

He pardoned EVERY SINGLE PERSON... I won't hold my breath for people to be outraged.

And he started an insurrection, stole top secret documents….etc. And no one stopped him. I don’t give a shit that he has $56 billion dollars. It’s a much needed painful reminder of how few people in leadership were willing to lay it all on the line for democracy.

CNN reports that the January 6 criminals have been told they are invited to attend inaugural balls tonight. They are going to be released from the D.C. jail momentarily.

All are insurrectionists.

We are not a democracy anymore, folks. We do not have rule of law.

I love this so much!

At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.

Hey everyone - I’ve got an imposter here on Bluesky. I’d appreciate it if you’d join me in reporting it. Thanks.

The current United States Ambassador will be leaving the post in less than two weeks. Better to ask Donald Trump why he hasn’t put a stop to it.

"It’s worth remembering how Trump generated made-for-cable-news fiascos almost every week during his first term that were happily gobbled up by the media, to the detriment of coverage of more substantial topics."

Sounds like what I’ve been saying for weeks. Fight, Democrats. Show people you give a damn about the dangerous crazy coming.

Backlash builds as Elon Musk endorses Germany’s far right “Only the AfD can save Germany,” said the key Donald Trump ally.

The question we should be asking is how long will Elon Musk allow Donald Trump to stay in power.

We’re appropriately focused on all of the awful things we’re about to face during the next four years but we’re going to miss all of the little things we’ve come to expect from a normal president too.

Smart decision by the White House to grant this interview to @meidastouch.com. Supporting independent media and communicating to the widest possible audience is key to Democrats future success.

Clark: We are leaving the 118th Congress just as we started it—with 15 rounds of Speaker votes for Kevin McCarthy and utter chaos. The losers in all of this… It’s not the Democratic caucus; it’s the American people. That’s who we are going to continue to represent in all of this.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: The message I’m hearing from people across Canada is this: they’re not afraid of you. They know you’re a convicted felon. They know that the people you’re bringing in to run your, let’s call it an “organization” rather than a government, are grifters, thieves, and thugs.

can’t wait for Elon to change the country’s name to UXA
