So much winning.

The same people who want to sanction Canada for the wildfire smoke have killed federal regulations so they can load the atmosphere with deadly pollutants while cutting cancer research and reducing access to healthcare.

This idiot has probably never been to the BOREAL FOREST a day in his life. It is 5.5 times the size of Texas. You cannot "groom" it. It's burning because of climate change. The utter bullshit from these climate deniers. Canadians are sick of this bullying and they are not going to take it.

NEWS: The Trump regime has announced an additional 50% tariff on Canada under Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930, according to a statement released by U.S. Trade Representative Ambassador Jamieson Greer.

Thank goodness we live in Canada 🇨🇦

The 🇺🇸 USA used to be a close friend & ally. 🇨🇦 “Trump announced 50% tariffs on most Canadian goods, set to take effect in 30 days unless Canada removes trade barriers the admin considers discriminatory. Officials said the action responds to Cdn. retaliation…” Aaron Parnas @aaronparnas.bsky.social

Trump is looking for a way to cheat.

💯💯💯 Agreed. His death does not erase all of the harm that he caused, endorsed and fought for.

"There's a series of institutions that have been created, going back decades actually, that are designed to prevent foreign interference and other interference, and actually the Trump administration [has] pretty systematically dismantled them," said @anneapplebaum.wsocial.eu.

Trump wanted to make the US and its tech companies the dominant force in the world. He’s actually achieving the opposite.

🔥 Russia’s “deep rear” logistics just got absolutely smoked by Ukrainian long-range strikes — Moscow & Tambov regions, drone component factories, and an oil facility turned into parking lots. Sea of Azov & Crimea got the mid-range special too. Ukraine’s drone warriors don’t miss. Cry harder, Putin.

“Trump …helping him survive multiple bankruptcies…take the biggest gamble of his presidency by restarting a war with Iran less than a month after agreeing to a ceasefire that he hailed as necessary to stop an economic crisis on a par with the Great Depression.” www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Trump’s Election Claims Land With a Whimper Among Republicans “Democrats immediately seized on Mr. Trump’s address with a frenzy of talking points to accuse him of trying to undermine the upcoming midterm elections. But the speech drew a muted response from [GOP].” www.nytimes.com/2026/07/17/u...

“The…round of fighting has entered its 7th day and… undermined the interim deal between Iran and the US, which was meant to keep the strait open and give room for negotiations to a… truce. Iran has shut the strait and the US reimposed its blockade” www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

This is election interference.

🧵Love over hate doesn't ask us to agree on everything. It asks to respect truth. The 2020 election was challenged in dozens of lawsuits. None produced evidence sufficient to overturn the result. Trump lost while serving as president. Democracy is strongest when we follow evidence over fear. #DOOR

Always has. Remember:

Excellent question. Why?!?! The US is done for in my opinion. He’s on the rampage now about the 2020 election and working hard to make it harder to vote and firing people who certify the machines. I don’t see how the Democrats take back control in the midterms.

It’s like we’re living in a monarchy. One member of the family dies and the next in line gets put into power in our government? This is so wrong.

Trump thinks he's following Kissinger's "Madman Theory of War" by being so "unpredictable", but he simply appears ignorant or demented, and predictably so.

“Carroll received the money more than 3 years after a jury found that the president was liable for sexually abusing her in a Manhattan store in 1996, and then for defaming her on social media. 🍑 Trump has repeatedly appealed the judgment… & last week launched a last-ditch attempt to block her”
