Canadian exports to the EU cannot compensate for lost access to US markets. But a lack of fiscal restraint in Washington, coupled with the war in the Middle East, means it scarcely matters. Canadian exports are still growing as the Trump administration's economic policies work at cross-purposes.

any dem candidate in 2028 who talks about that it is "time to move on" and they need to "heal the country" by not going after the Trumps and his Administration will never be elected President. The winner will talk about prosecutions and seizing assets.

‘Edsel sales dropped each year the model was on the market, and Ford discontinued the car in 1959. It is widely viewed as the greatest automotive flop of all time. Cybertruck sales are off to an even worse start.’ www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Ossoff: This is what small men like Donald Trump and JD Vance and Stephen Miller will never understand—that our national greatness flows not through our blood or our genes, but through our ideas.

People will be closely studying how Hungary's opposition pulled off their win in such a pro-incumbent system. Important to note that the theme was corruption. Democrats need to get much better at calling out Trump's corruption.

Or maybe it's just as it seems: She's a clown who embarrassed the boss one too many times and had to go.
You can't assume those who would fire her would be doing so for the public good, with this crowd in charge. She probably has a treasure trove of info on THEM. They'll get her out of the spotlight, then she'll quietly disappear.

Boycott the construction companies that agree to build detention center warehouses. They are a disgrace. Shut their businesses down.

The vile video is racist. Period. And it came from a racist White House. If you can't say that, what are we doing here.

Buildings need to be approved by building inspector as fit for human habitation. Couldn't building inspectors halt the use of warehouses as detention centers.

My latest Bloomberg column is on how Intel's recent stock gyrations reveal a big, unseen risk in Trump's unprecedented "state capitalism" push: private investment chasing politics, not fundamentals. The economic costs could be substantial.

It’s not just policy uncertainty
It’s policy unpredictability that global investors are punishing. Consider it a political risk premium being placed on dollar denominated assets such as the greenback. #Econ #EconSky

This is one of the best illustrations of the dangers of the graft & grift linked to crony capitalism: A Tehran bank collapsed under the weight of bad loans to regime cronies. For some ordinary Iranians, it was the last straw. #Econ #EconSky

i tell you what, if Democrats win the elections in 2026 and 2028, one of the biggest mistakes they could make is to talk about uniting the country by not prosecuting all of the lawbreakers and corruption of Trump administration officials. One reason we are here today is Ford's pardon of Nixon.

At this point, it’s utterly bonkers that any Democrat would trust any Republican to negotiate in good faith.

Speaker Johnson continues to stall the swearing in of Rep.-elect Grijalva so as to avoid having to deal with the Epstein discharge petition. Why shouldn’t Dems make support for reopening the government contingent on adding to the funding measure a provision mandating release of the Epstein files?

A reminder: Dr. Cook's mortgages are not the real issue. The threat to US macro stability is the clear intention of the Trump Admin to influence the composition of the FOMC in defiance of the structures designed to insulate the institution from such influence. Thank you for coming to my TED talk

I am against gerrymandering, but I am also against unilateral disarmament. Gavin Newsom’s plan to redistrict in California, to get more seats in 2026, and stop Trump in his tracks, should be replicated by Democratic Governors across the country. We need to actually fight here.
