Newsroom. Energy. Drought drives Southwest hydropower to record lows this summer KEY FACT: April-August hydropower 28% below 10-year average What happened: Drought in the Colorado River Basin pushed Southwest hydropower to record lows from April through August 2026, 19% below last year, EIA data show. Lake Powell sat less than 1% above the level needed to generate power. What it means: Hydropower is a small, shrinking slice of the region's power, suggesting the drought's heavier pressure falls on water for seven states sharing the river. One wet year likely won't undo years of scarcity, EIA says. AI-generated editorial illustration, not an event photograph. Sources: U.S. Energy Information Administration

THE CENTURY REPORT NEWSROOM. Hybrids gain US market share as battery electric sales fall KEY FACT: Hybrids reached 16% of new US vehicle sales What happened: EIA, citing Omdia estimates, reports hybrids reached 16% of US new light-duty sales in 3Q26, while battery electric fell to 6% from 10% after federal credits expired in September 2025. What it means: Combined share barely moved after the credits ended, suggesting buyers may have shifted toward hybrids. Hybrids burn liquid fuel and never plug in, so that shift could change how much grid demand new cars add. Sources: U.S. Energy Information Administration

{𝐚𝑱𝑺𝑫} Schumer’s replies are a veritable chorus of screeching RWNJ bean-sídhes. Their favourite refrain? Oil and gas were supposedly more expensive under Biden, and even more so under Obama. A sweeping claim, confidently shouted. But does it survive a little fact-checking❔

🇨🇦 🙄 🤔 Trump went on 𝘍𝘰𝘹 and turned ignorance into a governing philosophy: inflation “handled,” Canada “subsidized,” Democrats “communist,” reality optional.

The fact-check is brutal because the record is.

An 𝒊𝒈𝒏𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒎𝒖𝒔 with a microphone is still an 𝖎𝖌𝖓𝖔𝖗𝖆𝖒𝖚𝖘. ⤵
Fact-check: Trump’s 30-Aug-2026 interview with Trey Gowdy By andy J.S. Decepida Donald Trump’s Fox News interview with Trey Gowdy contained several claims that can be checked against official data and public records. The five below are the clearest cases. The ratings distinguish factual errors from predictions and ideological rhetoric. 1. Inflation: “I've Largely Taken Care of Inflation.” Verdict: Misleading. Trump made the claim during the interview.1 In July 2026, the Consumer Price Index was 3.4% higher than a year earlier; food was up 3.0%, energy 14.7%, and gasoline 24.6%.2 The Federal Reserve’s preferred PCE price index was up 3.7% year over year, with core PCE up 3.3%.3 On 29-Jul-2026, the Federal Open Market Committee said inflation “remains elevated” relative to its 2% goal.4 Some monthly measures had eased, but the available data do not support describing inflation as largely taken care of. 2. Canada: “Why Should We Subsidize Canada?” Verdict: False economic framing. Trump again described the U.S.-Canada trade relationship as a subsidy.1 In 2025, the United States exported $333.6 billion in goods to Canada and imported $381.9 billion, producing a $48.3 billion goods deficit. It simultaneously ran a $27.7 billion services surplus with Canada.5 The Bureau of Economic Analysis defines U.S. purchases from other countries as imports; the difference between exports and imports is the trade balance.6 Those purchases deliver goods and services in return. Canada also supplied the United States with an average 3.9 million barrels of crude oil per day in 2025.7 A trade deficit records net purchases. It is not a subsidy paid to the trading partner. 3. Canada: “They Think They Are a State, but They Are Not a State.” Verdict: False. Trump said this about Canada during the interview.1 Canada does not claim to be a U.S. state. On 21-Aug-2026, Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada’s negotiating objectives included maintaining its “flexibility, independence, and sovereignty,” and concluded that Canada would “set our own course.”8 Trump, by contrast, has repeatedly advocated Canadian statehood. In remarks on 13-Mar-2025, he said “Canada only works as a State” and described Canada as a potential “great and cherished State.”9 The interview claim reverses the documented positions of the two governments. 4. Democrats: “They'll Open the Borders Immediately.” Verdict: Unsupported prediction. Trump predicted that a Democratic midterm victory would lead Democrats to “open the borders immediately.”10 A future event cannot be checked as though it has already occurred. As a description of current Democratic policy, however, the claim lacks support: the party’s published agenda says it believes in “secure borders, common-sense immigration laws, and fair enforcement.”11 The effects of particular immigration policies are open to debate. An assertion that Democrats will immediately open the borders is a campaign prediction, not an established fact. 5. Democrats: “this is Largely Communism.” Verdict: Not rateable as a factual claim. Trump used “largely communism” to characterize the Democratic Party.12 The phrase supplies no operational definition or measurable threshold by which the claim could be tested. The party’s published agenda instead specifies policies on prices, health programs, taxation, corruption, voting rights, public safety, and border enforcement.11 Calling that agenda “largely communism” is ideological rhetoric rather than a discrete factual proposition that can responsibly be rated true or false. What the Record Supports The first three claims are the strongest fact-check findings because each can be tested directly against official records. Inflation remained above the Federal Reserve’s target; a trade deficit is not a subsidy; and Canada has asserted its sovereignty while Trump himself has repeatedly promoted Canadian statehood. The border claim is a forecast contradicted by the party’s stated policy, while “largely communism” is too imprecise to merit a binary factual rating.

Judgment Newsweek has found a genuine Canadian political shift. Trump’s tariffs and annexation rhetoric have made the costs of overdependence harder to ignore, and the evidence supports a deliberate effort to widen Canada’s commercial options.1,3,5 The Brexit label is useful only up to that point. Britain chose institutional exit and accepted new barriers with a market that had accounted for 44 per cent of its exports; the Office for Budget Responsibility still assigns a substantial long-run productivity cost to those barriers.7,8 Canada is pursuing a different objective: preserve valuable U.S. access while making the consequences of saying no to Washington less economically punishing. The strongest criticism of Newsweek is therefore not that its analogy is absurd. It is that the analogy becomes misleading when metaphor starts doing the work of economic analysis. Canada’s problem is excessive concentration, and the remedy is redundancy: more routes, more customers, more domestic capacity, and more sector-specific options. European Union membership is not a current option, and EFTA is no automatic substitute. Deeper integration with Europe is both legally available and already underway.9,12,13 Citation List: 1 Anna Rahmanan, “Trump Just Gave Canada Its Brexit Moment”, Newsweek, 24-Aug-2026, – https://www.newsweek.com/trump-canada-tariffs-brexit-carney-trade-12359684 2 Statistics Canada, “Canadian international merchandise trade, December 2025”, The Daily, 19-Feb-2026, – https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/260219/dq260219a-eng.htm 3 Global Affairs Canada, “State of Trade 2026: The rise of services in Canada’s trade landscape”, – https://international.canada.ca/en/global-affairs/corporate/reports/chief-economist/state-trade/2026 4 Bank of Canada, “Business Outlook Survey – First Quarter of 2026”, 20-Apr-2026, – https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2026/04/business-outlook-survey-first-quarter-of-2026/ 5 Department of Finance Canada, “Spring Economic Update 2026: Canada Strong For All”, 28-Apr-2026, – https://budget.canada.ca/update-miseajour/2026/report-rapport/overview-apercu-en.html 6 Department of Finance Canada, “Canada announces targeted countermeasures and substantive support for workers and businesses in response to U.S. tariffs”, 25-Aug-2026, – https://www.canada.ca/en/department-finance/news/2026/08/canada-announces-targeted-countermeasures-and-substantive-support-for-workers-and-businesses-in-response-to-us-tariffs.html 7 Office for National Statistics, “UK Perspectives 2016: Trade with the EU and beyond”, 25-May-2016, – https://www.ons.gov.uk/businessindustryandtrade/internationaltrade/articles/ukperspectives2016tradewiththeeuandbeyond/2016-05-25 8 Office for Budget Responsibility, “Brexit analysis”, updated 20-Jul-2026, – https://obr.uk/forecasts-in-depth/the-economy-forecast/brexit-analysis/ 9 European Union, “Consolidated version of the Treaty on European Union, Article 49”, Official Journal of the European Union, 07-Jun-2016, – https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/treaty/teu_2016/art_49/oj/eng 10 European Union, “Consolidated version of the Treaty on European Union, Article 48”, Official Journal of the European Union, 07-Jun-2016, – https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/treaty/teu_2016/art_48/oj/eng 11 European Parliament, “Legal questions of enlargement (1)”, – https://www.europarl.europa.eu/enlargement/briefings/23a2_en.htm 12 European Commission, “EU trade relations with Canada”, accessed 25-Aug-2026, – https://policy.trade.ec.europa.eu/eu-trade-relationships-country-and-region/countries-and-regions/canada_en 13 European Free Trade Association, “FAQs”, accessed 25-Aug-2026, – https://www.efta.int/about-efta/faqs 14 U.S. Census Bureau, “Trade in Goods with Canada”, accessed 25-Aug-2026, – https://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/balance/c1220.html 15 U.S. Census Bureau and U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, “Annual Summary for 2025”, 19-Feb-2026, – https://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/Press-Release/ft900/ft900_2512.pdf 16 U.S. Energy Information Administration, “Lower crude oil prices reduced U.S.-Canada energy trade value in 2025”, 29-Jul-2026, – https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=67904
