Doug Ford canceled Ontario’s Starlink contract with Elon Musk and banned all US companies from provincial contracts in response to Trump’s tariffs on Canada. “It’s done, it’s gone,” Ford said. “We won’t award contracts to people who enable economic attacks on our province and country.”

Oh, honey . . . if Democrats could *really* rig elections, why aren't they in power in the White House, Senate, House, and Supreme Court right now? You're such a simple thing.

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Hope isn’t blind optimism — it arises in the face of uncertainty. If you look at our history, we’ve gone through some rough patches. But we tend to come out on the other side of them stronger than before.

Put the pressure on those who make sure schools have the proper resources, like up to date textbooks & technology, like libraries, like certified teachers, like recess, gym, music, and art! And school meals because hungry children can't learn.

In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces. 249 years later, we have this idiot.

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions). Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom. And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ. Remember this.

If you live in Virginia, tomorrow you have a huge opportunity to make it clear to the GOP that if they want to win, it won’t be by changing the rules and redrawing maps. At least, not without a fight. Vote YES on the redistricting vote, and push back!

As a reminder, anything he says is likely to be a lie. Tragically, the Iranian government statements regarding the blockade are much more likely to be accurate. A terrible state for America to be in with an illegal unnecessary Trumpian war raging.

A reminder that when Donald Trump threatens tariffs, he's threatening a tax on working families. He already owes Illinoisans $8,679,261,600 from his last round — and now he's waiting to throw in more to the pot.

Are Trump's tariffs really dead? Here's what's happening behind the scenes
Importers of European cheese, a sleeping bag company for infants and a ceramics business are pushing for and against potential new tariffs.

All standardized tests tell you is how wealthy the families are. Not because they are smarter, but because they have more resources and make sure their local schools have good resources, too.
