Michigan Trump voter when asked about Trump’s latest promise of $5,000 if Republicans win the midterms: “I’m waiting on my DOGE check and I’m still waiting on my tariff check. I’ve done the math. The man owes me $22,200.”

The Venezuela deal, as I understand it, is that the US pays $200 bn to build out their oil infrastructure and hopes that (roughly 3 Presidential terms from now), Caracas then complies with the agreement that their oil reserves belong to us - rather than nationalizing it.

Our closest ally. Our critical trading partner.
And Trump is hitting Canada with 50% tariffs.
What the actual fuck are we doing?

Just a friendly reminder that Sarah Connor was committed to a psychiatric institution after attempting to destroy AI data centers, a decision made because authorities believed her warnings about the future were the result of delusions.

Another lawsuit challenging Trump's new (third) global tariffs just dropped:
This is absolutely asinine. Expansions of Pearson and better utilization of Hamilton airports more than offset anything that could offered up by Billy Bishop. #nojets
Globe editorial: Toronto's island airport should be allowed to grow

Hey folks, if you had plans to depute on behalf of Sneaky Dee’s on Thursday…well, you don’t have to any more.
The reason why we are in this pickle with Billy Bishop airport is because banker bros can see the airport from their office or condo windows. #nojets
✈️ Fun Fact: Airlines can’t do heavy plane overhauls at #BillyBishop. Island space constraints, noise bylaws & short runways make deep repairs impossible. Work flies out to Ottawa/Halifax.
The Ford gov’s big expansion proposals ignore these physical limits—it's magical thinking.

I spent some time looking at the company behind a massive lobbying push to have Toronto's island airport expanded. What I found was a deep tangle of corporate and PR webs that all obscured a relatively simple truth.

Who's behind the massive lobbying campaign to expand the island airport? What I discovered should worry us all trib.al/3EPUcXX

73% of Edmontonians would vote against the referendum on a referendum, 58% in Calgary, with rural a split at 48%.
Older rural men are the group most likely to vote in fabour of separation

The "europoor" discourse migrating from terminally online Twitter to the WSJ op-ed is actually a big tell. When a narrative stops being a meme and becomes establishment messaging, it means the establishment needs it. You simply don't reach for "but Europe is poor!" unless your domestic numbers have become very hard to spin for the citizenry.
Millennials and Gen Z have no memory of American prosperity - you can't revive the American dream, because they never lived it. And if they ever compare their median household situation to, say, Denmark or Belgium, the math is simply not mathing.
Just go with the truth (for once!) and admit the U.S. has been run as an economic extraction zone for a narrow class of people, and the bill is now coming due. Pointing at Europeans won't make average Americans grocery bill or insurance premiums go lower.
From @WSJopinion: What happens when Europeans find out how poor they are? The Continent trails far behind U.S. economic output. Politics is bound to catch up sooner or later, writes Joseph Sternberg.

Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) covers approximately 4,600 to 4,613 acres of land or the equivalent to nearly 12,500 hockey arenas. Billy Bishop Airport is on ten acres. Doug Ford really needs to step down so someone competent can do the Premier job.

This is like when a toddler demands blueberries, so you meal prep blueberries only for him to announces he hates blueberries. Except the toddler runs the world’s largest economy, and the blueberries are a close ally’s trading relationship.

And there you have it.
Venezuela appoints Maduro’s VP/right hand man as acting President - because that is how their laws work.
And so the Maduro regime lives on and the US achieved nothing via an illegal action.
Great work everyone! 🙄

Lol you guys think Chevron is just going to walk in there tomorrow morning and put a straw in the ground and take Venezuela’s oil directly to Texas?
And the guerrillas in the jungles of Venezuela are just going to sit there and play with their thumbs?
