A brand new bridge between Detroit and Canada is finished and ready to open. It would speed up traffic for millions of trucks, cut delays for American businesses, and help the auto industry that employs people in every state. There is just one problem.

Donald Trump won’t let it open.

Here is why.

The family that owns the old bridge stands to lose business when the new one opens. So in January, they gave one million dollars to a pro-Trump super PAC.

Weeks later they met with Trump’s Commerce Secretary.

He called Trump.

Hours after that, Trump announced he would block the new bridge. The opening was set for June 12. It got canceled the day before. The bridge sits there finished and empty.

Now here is the part that should make every taxpayer angry.

Canada paid for the entire bridge.

Every dollar. And the United States already owns half of it for free. Trump is holding up a bridge we got for nothing, to protect a donor who wrote him a check, while picking a fight with our closest ally and biggest trading partner.

This is corruption in plain sight.

A billionaire pays, and the President delivers. American workers and businesses pay the price.

Open the bridge. A government should work for the people, not for whoever writes the biggest check.

Stephen Colbert and David Letterman paying tribute to Obama’s infamous tan suit at the Presidential Center opening is exactly the level of pettiness and historical accuracy I respect. 😂

Some controversies deserve a reunion tour.

@danielsgoldman Every single Democrat better start taking the rigging by Trump and the Republicans seriously because look at what happened in 2024.

[Daniel Goldman @danielsgoldman]

I’ve been raising the alarm for months about ​​Donald Trump’s efforts to lay the groundwork to rig the upcoming midterm elections. Now I am taking aggressive action that will stop the federal government from interfering with election equipment.

We need Democrats who know how to take on Donald Trump. I beat him before, and I'll do it again.

"Only very sick kids should die from measles"

No, Secretary Kennedy

NO child should die from measles.

Because there's a vaccine to prevent it.

#BREAKING: Lawrence re Trump calling Obama a “stupid SOB” in France: “Once again, the standard warning we should be issuing to anyone under say 25 years old, who might not know that presidents have NEVER spoken about previous presidents that way, and especially NEVER criticized previous presidents while in a foreign country as Trump was today, in France.” 😳

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Michelle and I loved reading to this bright group of kids today!

We hope this new Chicago Public Library branch at the Obama Presidential Center will be a place where folks come to read, check out books, and connect with one another for years to come.

Lauren Boebert knew the Medicaid cuts she voted for would hurt people in Colorado's 4th District. When a fellow congressman warned about the damage, she responded "you're not wrong." Then she voted yes anyway.

That vote cut hundreds of billions from Medicaid to help pay for tax breaks for the wealthy. And now nearly a quarter of Colorado's rural hospitals are at risk of closing.

Our district deserves a representative who actually fights for us. That is why I am running.

The unhinged and insane conspiracy theory that medication abortion is a threat to our waterways is no longer just a fringe right fever dream—it's now being pushed by Republican leaders.

Let's be clear: Mifepristone is safe and effective.

NEWS: I’m calling on the FAA to reject any pressure to rubberstamp Trump’s “Triumphal Arch.”

The safety of the flying public should not be jeopardized for a vanity project designed to stroke the President’s ego.

[AnatolijUkraine @AnatoliUkraine]

Extraordinary.

Obama warned this would happen years ago.

Trump tore up a functioning agreement, spent billions on another war, and now America may be right back where it started — only weaker and less trusted.

How many times does Trump have to break something before MAGA admits he had no plan?

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨BREAKING: President Obama breaks his silence after Trump signed the MOU surrender with Iran.

Obama says that under the JCPOA he negotiated, "Iran had agreed not to develop nuclear weapons," and Trump pulling out of it "caused Iran to develop more nuclear capacity."

Obama questioned Trump's rationale for his war, saying we're likely worse off now:

"We’ve now fought a war, spent billions and billions of dollars, put an enormous strain on our military; a lot of people have died, and it feels like we are back where we were before we started the war, except maybe a little worse off."

This MIC DROP from Obama is guaranteed to drive Trump NUTS.

MacFarlane: The words we didn't hear from these remarks today, sucker, loser, piggy, stupid fake news, idiot. President Obama, first lady Obama didn't invoke the name calling that has gotten in a cancerous way into our political bloodstream

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

To George and Laura, Bill and Hillary — we're grateful for your friendship, counsel, and devotion to this country. And to Joe and Jill, thank you for being on this journey with us.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Trump wants to put RFK Jr., the guy who said "autism destroys families" in charge of special education for K-12 students with disabilities—absolutely NOT.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Georgia's leading Conservative radio host, Shelly Wynter, just announced he is endorsing Senator Jon Ossoff for reelection. This is huge.

Obama: To Michelle. She did me wrong. She wouldn't let me see her speech. She knew she was going to mess me up and she did it anyway. But she's always made me better. And I could not be more grateful.

BREAKING: President Trump said the newly restored Reflecting Pool would last "50 to 100 years" before needing major work.

Less than a week later, the sealant was reportedly peeling, algae turned the water green, and federal crews were called in for emergency cleanup on a project that cost roughly $15 million.

That's an expensive way to end up back where you started.

@DrNeilStone Also Australia: We’re on track to become the first country to eliminate cervical cancer as a public health issue by 2035 because of vaccination.

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

RFK Jr: "Gardasil is probably the single worst mass vaccine that we've ever seen

The reality

It's SO GOOD that no one vaccinated in England has died from cervical cancer.

In fact it's on the way to eliminating it.

Yes - ELIMINATE CERVICAL CANCER

Don't listen to RFK Jr
