One billionaire family controls the bridge that carries 25% of all U.S.–Canada trade.

The good news? There's a brand new public bridge right next door (and Canada paid for the whole thing).

The bad news? Donald Trump won't let it open.

Here's the story:

For more than a decade, Michigan and Canada worked together to build a new public crossing right next to it — six lanes over the Detroit River, named for a Canadian-born Red Wings legend, built by thousands of union workers. Canada paid the entire bill. Michigan co-owns it. It's finished. It’s a shining example of international cooperation and collaboration, with a tremendous return for both sides: more jobs, faster trade, and lower costs.

So why isn't it open?

Because the Moroun family, who own the rival Ambassador Bridge just up the river, doesn’t want the competition. They spent years and tens of millions of dollars trying to stop any competing international crossing from being built or opening. They lost. So they went to the White House instead.

In January, Matthew Moroun gave $1 million to a pro-Trump super PAC. Then the billionaire called Trump's Commerce Secretary and, just hours later, Trump suddenly attacked the same publicly owned bridge he praised in his own first term and threatened to block it.
Then, the day before the June 12th ribbon-cutting, the opening was called off indefinitely.

It's corruption so flagrant it would be laughable if it weren't so damaging.

Trump is screwing over Michiganders for the interests of billionaires — holding a finished, publicly owned project hostage to protect one donor's toll booth.

So a finished bridge sits closed, Michiganders keep paying the higher tolls, cars and trucks cost more, and a billionaire family keeps its monopoly.

Mr. President: stop playing games. Open the damn bridge.

🇺🇸 President Trump: "I met Toyota's 92-year-old owner in Japan, told him 'you are rich' and he agreed to invest $10 billion in U.S."

The owner of Toyota passed away 3 years ago. 🤔

Dzień w którym ten facet został wybrany prezydentem był najgorszym dla Polski po 1 września 1939r

Żadne zabranie orderu tego nie zmieni.

🚨 If Kamala Harris had won:

• Trump would be in prison
• Strait of Hormuz would be open
• Ukraine would be victorious
• Gas under $3/gallon
• America respected worldwide

Thumbs up 👍 if you agree.

Without Russia's promotion of Farage, Brexit would not have happened.

On September 16, 2014, Farage and Nathan Gill made speeches to the European Parliament parroting several of the same Russian propaganda lies.

They both called Ukraine "The Ukraine," a term which refers back to the old Slavic word for borderland, which Russia uses to deny Ukraine's nationhood.

They both used the expression "poking the Russian bear."

They both parroted the Russian lie that there had been a coup in Kyiv in 2014.

They both parroted Russian lies about NATO and EU expansion.

They both repeated the Russian claim that the real threat was Muslim extremism, a claim that Putin had very effectively used to distract Western leaders from Russian aggression and its hybrid war against the West.

Reform UK initially claimed Farage barely knew Gill. That turned out to be a blatant lie.

And a reminder that before the BBC picked up the baton, Farage was propelled to prominence by Russian TV. The Kremlin clearly thought Farage would be useful to Russia. He has doubtless more than exceeded their hopes.

Here's David Cameron in 2016 explaining that if we leave the EU we'll be economically worse off and so have less money for public services

Here we are in 2026, worse off, and with less money for public services

PabloReports: Does Donald Trump get to keep this Qatari jet after the presidency?

Raskin: No, he does not. You know why? Because the Constitution says he can’t do it.

Because the Constitution says that the president may not receive a present, an emolument—which means a payment, an office or title of any kind—from a king, a prince, or a foreign state without the consent of Congress.

And Congress has not consented to him keeping a $400 million jet. So it’s got to be turned over immediately to Congress for disposition.

We can either send it back to the people in Qatar, or we can keep it and do something different with it. But it doesn’t belong to the president.

You know, Abraham Lincoln, in the middle of the Civil War, wanted to keep some elephant tusks he’d gotten from the King of Siam. He never kept a present before. He wrote a letter to Congress. He said, “Can I keep this?” And Congress said, you know, you’re doing a great job, Honest Abe, and we love you, but no, you can’t keep it. Turn it over to the Department of State. That’s the right way to do it.

Every other president has come to Congress to ask whether they can keep one of these foreign gifts from a government, king, or prince. President Trump should be no different. He’s got to come to us too. And if not, we’ll just have to requisition it and confiscate it.
