@RyanRozbiani That’s a huge deal. Unexploded bombs at a nuclear site? Who knows what kind of tech they could end up reverse-engineering from this. Definitely makes you wonder what else is going on behind the scenes.
BREAKING: U.S. PCE inflation held at 3.7% in July, slightly above expectations of 3.6%. Prices rose 0.2% from June, twice the expected 0.1%. Core PCE, which excludes food and energy, rose 3.3% from a year earlier.
Inflation is still well above the central bank’s 2% goal and higher than the 2.6% rate when Biden left office.
This is the question Washington needs to answer: when did protecting Israel become automatically the same thing as protecting America? U.S. foreign policy should be based on American interests, not endless wars fought on behalf of someone else.
@24_70xu Trump keeps treating tariffs like a weapon, then acts surprised when other countries hit back. This isn’t winning, it’s a trade war that makes life more expensive for Americans and puts allies against each other.
@Barchart Everything is under control. Meanwhile, America has just 41 days of crude left. Sounds familiar. Trump is starting to look less like the guy who fixed the energy crisis and more like Carter 2.0.
America is already struggling with high costs and economic pressure. More tariffs and trade wars aren’t America First, ordinary people end up paying the price.
This is an excellent breakdown of the tariff wars. Canada cannot win a tariff war against the United States, a country whose economy is roughly 13 times larger than Canada’s.
If the US wants to pressure Mark Carney to reduce trade with the Communist regime in China, that is something patriotic Canadians should welcome. If the US wants the Liberals to stop restricting our free speech and abolish Bill C-11, that is something I fully support. If Mark Carney claims to favour free markets and objects to US tariffs, why does he refuse to reform Canada’s deeply protectionist supply-management system?
If you are truly “Team Canada,” you should not advocate any retaliation or tariff war.
@MarioNawfal Honestly, I’m glad Tucker, Massie and Greene are pushing back. America First was never supposed to mean endless wars overseas. Put Americans first and actually stick to it.
Reporter: Your statement about “40–50 killed in Gaza every day” created a huge uproar around the world.
Ben Gvir: Excellent. Excellent. I prefer that they cry, and that a Jewish mother doesn’t cry over her soldier son.
Reporter: Come on, Ben Gvir... You have to speak responsibly. We’re dealing with the world too.
@MarioNawfal So foreign money can’t go straight to Ted Cruz, but it can apparently take a little detour through a PAC? That deserves a lot more scrutiny.
@business Over 1,000 trades while you’re sitting in the Oval Office? At some point you have to wonder whether running the country is even the main priority anymore. Regular Americans have real problems to deal with.
We’ve seen this movie before: emotional stories, weak scrutiny, then war. Iraq showed us how propaganda can manufacture consent for destruction that ordinary taxpayers end up paying for. Don’t let another war be sold to us the same way.
Trump's 51st state talk is disrespectful and exactly what's united Canadians against him. Treating a longtime ally like that instead of with respect, no wonder Carney's gotten tougher.

Sure, more imports may bring some short-term relief, but a 90-day import fix doesn’t solve America’s cattle shortage. It’s a Band-Aid on a supply problem that took years to create.
This crisis is the result of years of massive debt, budget deficits, and endless war spending, not just Treasury policy.
Washington kept spending beyond its means, and now ordinary Americans are paying the price.
@TrackAIPAC@iElijahManley If American laws say we shouldn’t arm forces credibly accused of serious human rights abuses, then those laws should apply to everyone. No exceptions for allies.
