So having a stable trading relationship with our peaceful, democratic neighbor, with whom we share a 4000-mile border, has national-security implications? Trump slams Canada with tariffs. Canada diversifies exports of aluminum. Trump starts war. Needs aluminum. Genius.

So Trump puts a tariff on Canadian aluminum... Which leads to Canada selling most of it to Europe instead... Trump instead imports it from his dictator buddies in the Gulf, and now that's cut off... And now there's nothing left to buy from Canada lol

Putting the current leader’s name and image on everything is an authoritarian move, designed to make them seem more present, more powerful, more invincible than they are. It is a betrayal of American democracy, where power belongs to the people. https://t.co/Z1svV66LP4

At Newburgh in 1783, Washington walked into a room of soldiers who wanted to march on Congress and install him as a constitutional monarch. He reached into his pocket for his eyeglasses — the calculated theater of a man who understood exactly what the moment required — and said

These lies are just so easy to call out. Vince Lombardi died in 1970. Started getting seriously sick in 1967. Early 20’s Donald Trump wasn’t hanging with Vince and swapping play designs. It’s just yet another needless lie. If this man lies about knowing people he clearly

250 years ago, we fought a war to get a King’s name off our laws. Now we’ve got a President trying to Sharpie his name onto our currency and brand the government like a hotel chain. We didn’t trade a crown for a gold-plated ego. This is a Republic, not a franchise.

Trump burned through 25% of our Tomahawk inventory and spiked gas prices while giving Iran a whole new funding stream by turning the Strait of Hormuz into a toll plaza and killed off their nation's 86 year old leader only to replaced by his 56 year old son. ART OF THE DEAL BABY🤔

Yikes. The US has burned through ~850 Tomahawks in 4 weeks. That's roughly a quarter of the inventory. At ~600 produced/year, that's ~1.5 years of production gone in a month. Hard to see what long-term political goal this buys. https://t.co/AxdU3zLYYW

I want to flag something that may have flown under the radar, but shouldn't. In December 2025, President Trump and @SecVetAffairs Doug Collins moved to ban access to abortion care at the VA, even in cases of rape, incest, or when the health of the mother is at risk. Earlier this

I used to give lectures where I'd explain to undergrads what it was like to grow up in the 70s, and how grateful they should be that they don't know what "Stagflation" means. Guess everyone's gonna find out again that hot stoves are hot.

Our president ā€œloves the poorly educatedā€, said ā€œsmart people don’t like himā€, and admits he ā€œhates successful peopleā€ and would rather ā€œhang out with losersā€. Makes you worry about his hiring practices and inner circle doesn’t it?

The chart is based on FEMA’s own data. It shows the Trump administration approved 23% of disaster requests from Dem-led states (defined as gov + 2 Dem senators) vs. 89% for Rep-led states. ā€œā€¦one nation, under Godā€¦ā€ Until it comes to helping Americans in a disaster.

Donald Trump has the slowest GDP growth of any President in the last 100 years. The top three are Democrats. 6 out of the bottom 8 are Republicans. But yeah, Republicans are good for the economy!
