Trump is STILL - RIGHT NOW - tweeting about Tesla. He's spent more time protecting the richest man in the world's profits than he has protecting healthcare, education, jobs, or veterans in the last 6 weeks as president.

Leavitt: Tariffs are a tax hike on foreign countries and a tax cut for the American people

Reporter: Have you ever paid a tariff? I have. They don’t get charged on foreign countries

Today would be yet another good day for university presidents to loudly, collectively, & publicly start defending our institutions & industry. The silence is deafening & frankly, incomprehensible. What exactly are you waiting for? How many Columbias, Maines, & Johns Hopkins will it take?

Bernie Sanders Is Showing Democrats How It’s Done The Vermont senator is taking his anti-Trump tour to red Americaβ€”and it’s a smash hit.

"By rejecting passivity, Sanders is also doing more to actually put Republicansβ€”who’ve recently been ordered to abandon town halls in the wake of mounting anger from their own votersβ€”under pressure."

Trump Decried Millions Spent 'Making Mice Transgender.' It Was Cancer and Asthma Research President Trump falsely claimed that Biden spent $8 million on 'making mice transgender,' but the real research was for human health.

Trump claimed the Biden administration spent $8 million "making mice transgender." The White House tried to back up this number with records of funding for research into cancer, asthma, and HIV, some of which used *transgenic* (genetically modified) mice.

Trump is sparking a new wave of national pride — in Canada Canadians are angry over Trump's tariff threats and 51st-state comments, so they're taking aim at US brands by buying local.

I'm a pilot with engineering Ph.D., worked in both airline and tech industries. I can say there is absolutely zero chance, given the timing of the switch, that FAA had done any review to make the decision based on merits. I hope Verizon sue the hell out of it.

Sad day for NOAA, and the Country: 800+ DOGE’d.

Here in Colorado, Amateur Radio Operators have helped NOAA monitor severe weather conditions as part of its weather spotter program.

Last week the spotter classes were cancelled. This week firings.

Better up your weatherproofing game people.

ANALYSIS | Trump's talk about Canada parrots Putin's claims on Ukraine | CBC News Donad Trump's threats and claims about Canada may be unprecedented in the history of U.S.-Canada relations. But they have a strong precedent elsewhere in recent history: They closely resemble remarks ...

The parrot Trump is a Putin in disguise. As Canadians, we chuckle but the similarities are eerie and we had better take notice and be ready to "stand on guard for thee." πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

At the NATO meeting a loud US republican saw my CDN flag pin on my lapel and reached for it saying, "Hey Canada."
I stopped him.
"Don't touch the Canadian flag."
"Just joking," he said.
"You'll die before you touch our flag," I said, "not joking."
He scrambled out of there.
