This is carrying the โjokeโ too far: the casual disrespect, the poor tax math, and ignoring that workers on both sides of our border will be better off if we work together. Time to call it out, stand up for Canada, and build a true North American partnership ๐จ๐ฆ ๐บ๐ธ ๐ฒ๐ฝ

Trump takes the bait, launching into a ramble about crowd sizes and repeating baseless claims about immigrants eating pets, only to be swiftly fact-checked. Kamala Harris seizes the moment and capitalizes on his misstep instantly.

This moment from @KamalaHarrisโ questioning of Brett Kavanaugh at his Senate hearing has never left me. "Can you think of any laws that give the government the power to make decisions about the male body?" https://t.co/j9hBdCF3xG
