Canadian exports globally increased a dramatic 14% while we inflicted billions of dollars of damage on the MAGA economy.
So needless to day, Trump is coming for us.
But we are helluva lot tougher now than we were last year at this time.

In a completely humiliating smack down of Donald Trump, Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen says if he had to choose “between the United States and Denmark here and now,” he “chooses Denmark.”

For the first time in history, the state of Virginia has a female Governor and right after being sworn in today Governor Abigail Spanberger’s first official act was to end cooperation between ICE-Gestapo and Virginia State Police. More of this. 💙👊👏

🚨 #GVerse Wow! Sen. Ruben Gallego becomes one of the first U.S. Senators to call for #FuckICE to be DISMANTLED.

“I think ICE needs to be totally torn down. People want immigration enforcement that goes after criminals…not the goon squad from Stephen Miller…”AMEN!

"There comes a point where we have to start questioning whether or not he’s actually aware of what’s happening around him & the harm he’s doing. It’s similar to historical figures like Nero or Caligula. Their madness took over & they started doing wildly destructive things. Trump is in that place."

Many have observed the similarities between Noem's ICE and the Proud Boys.

But folks, I have the receipts. I reviewed tapes from 2016-2017 of Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes.

Everything Noem is doing in Minneapolis is laid out in his vision from then.

two theories about this:
1. pritzker put up a fight and he chickened out
1a. DC is an easy target; Chicago (and other blue cities in blue states) are tougher ones. possibly trump forgot about that

2. they're running out of national guard troops and ice officers to deploy in "surge" numbers
One reading of this is that he's calling for some sort of Illinois color revolution, another is that he's admitting he won't do what he's been threatening and there's no juice left in the whole "call in the national guard" strategy.

Note this from @leahlitman.bsky.social: Lower courts are really doing good work, striking down illegal Trump acts on Harvard, tariffs, and Alien Enemies Act. But as today showed, SCOTUS can be expected to badly undermine them. Here she looks ahead to what's coming:

In about 45 minutes I’m dropping my latest JHN article.

This isn’t the same tired chatter you’ve seen recycled everywhere else. This is a perspective on why Trump is fighting so hard to keep the Epstein files buried… and it’s one you’ve likely never seen before.

Stay tuned.

If the U.S. military isn't going to release details on the justification for killing 11 civilians in a civilian boat who weren't posing a threat to anyone, then we have to conclude the "justification" is: the U.S. military is willing to kill civilians to give Trump social media content.
