SORKIN: There's a whole number of very large companies, including Apple and Amazon, that have not sought reimbursements yet for the tariffs. From what I understand, part of the reason is they're worried about offending you.
TRUMP: I think it's brilliant. They got to know me very well. I'm honored.
Though their statement re: changes in government policy should not be discounted, even if it's only justificatory. This is as much on Carney.
Trump: "I would've won Vietnam very quickly if I were president. Look at Venezuela. I took it over in 45 minutes."

US elites decided, like a school of fish, that climate concern is old, boring, "woke," square, not hip & popular any more. As usual, it was based almost entirely on internal elite dynamics. It had nothing to do with the actual public, which is more concerned than ever.
Imagine being just an ordinary founder applying to YC with this kind of bullshit pitch.
A network of 20 inauthentic YouTube accounts has racked up nearly 40 million views by peddling lies, grievance, division and narratives normalizing the prospect of Alberta’s secession and annexation by the United States. @charlesrusnell.bsky.social reports. #abpoli
A reminder:
Trump: "We can't let traitors like Schumer put pressure on you, where they say, 'We want out!' Think how bad that is. I'm negotiating with these people and they're telling us, 'We have to get out now!' and they were in a war for 18 years."
Fairly good treatment of the (IMHO very dumb) idea of Canada joining the EU. It is important to emphasize BOTH:
a) The transition would be very costly. (e.g. 10 years of 'harmonization' of our law with the EU acquis)
b) the end point would not be good for Canada. (e.g. Euro currency, e.g. CAP)
This is a great read. I will add one more Harper issue—withdrawing stimulus too soon after the 2008 recession ensured the Bank of Canada had to keep rates lower for longer, which drove up consumer debt levels. Conservatives now complain those debt levels are too high (but blame Trudeau/Carney).
I just can't with Ford playing the victim here.
1) You're a fucking premier. Of course your moves are being scrutinized!
2) Premiers get away with murder (or negligent homicide at the very least). You get so much less scrutiny than is actually warranted. Just stop.
This is a snapshot of the failure of MSM and the concomitant ignorance within the American electorate about what is happening in and to their country.
Your reminder that right-wing populists don't actually care what 'the people' think. They only care about pushing their own agendas through, and riling up 'anti-elite' (read: anti-evidence, anti-expert) sentiment to aid and abet their schemes.
"Low-income households will get [free] plug-in solar panels to cut their energy bills, the Government has announced."
This is how you do a just transition.

AOC: In some ways, you kind of want this guy on a golf course more than you want him in the Oval Office. But that also calls into question the 25th Amendment, because if the determination is that Trump cannot be trusted in the Situation Room, then he's not fit to be president.
The party of free markets, of Reagan, the intellectual heirs of Milton Friedman, the champions of market forces over big government, and of free enterprise and small business over the jackboots of government intervention.
Extremely weird and revealing joke from Carney, even if he's riffing off the progressive conservative allegations. He's not beating em!
“The power lie is a different kind of deception. People already know it’s not true, so there is no way to contradict it, to persuade people otherwise. The appeal is that, as a believer, you can be part of it, sharing the power by accepting the falsehood is true.” — @caroloff.bsky.social #UrbanTruth

This is fun
Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.
I'm sure the strategy of scolding them will work this time!
This is a nightmare: the destruction of Florida's orange industry. Tariffs, drought, deep freezes and a bacteria that is destroying the trees. They have lost 95% of production since 2003.
3/4s of growers are out of business. This is the dangerous eco-future staring us.
