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.

🚨🚨 🚨I'm posting this video every day so we NEVER forget what insurrectionist Donald Trump did on J6
Instead of accepting defeat and honoring the peaceful transfer of power, Trump unleashed a deadly mob on the U.S. Capitol in a last-ditch attempt to stay in power
THIS is what an insurrection looks like 👇👇👇
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.
How the fuck do we have $300 billion to rebuild Iran after we spent $80 billion bombing it, when we don’t “have the money” for pediatric cancer research?
@dEEN1cKers0n I cannot imagine a world in which you’re not painting. Where your beautiful heart and magical eyes and fingers are not engaged with your special interpretations. Sending love from faraway Oregon in the battered and riven US. A country full of hope though it might not appear so.
My friend Jamie Raskin is one of the most careful and principled people in Congress. So when he says the director of the FBI may be running a taxpayer funded slush fund, I pay attention.
Here is what he found.
Kash Patel directed more than $1 million in bonus payments to a small circle of agents in his inner circle and on his security detail.
Some were getting nearly $8,000 every two weeks on top of salaries that were already maxed out at the federal ceiling. A number of them collected close to $40,000 over consecutive pay periods.
The payments came so fast that the FBI’s bonus reserve accounts ran dry and some checks bounced.
So who got the money?
Agents on Patel’s so-called "director’s advisory team."
That is the unit created in 2025 and described internally as a payback squad, built to dig up dirt on the law enforcement officials who investigated Trump and his allies.
Raskin has given Patel until June 29 to account for every payment, every recipient, and any internal review of whether this was even legal.
Patel should answer for all of it.

Do you agree that THIS is what an insurrection looks like. 👇👇👇
Trump ataca Lewis Hamilton — e recebe uma resposta contundente…. Donald Trump chamou Lewis Hamilton de “um insulto ao esporte” porque o heptacampeão é “extremamente progressista” e acredita que não devemos discriminar com base no gênero…. Infelizmente ele escolheu a pessoa errada…. Em um local histórico, Lewis Hamilton não apenas respondeu com veemência — ele fez um discurso moral…. “O presidente dos Estados Unidos acabou de dizer que eu insultei o espírito da competição”, começou Lewis Hamilton…. “Querem saber o que insulta a humanidade? Tirar o acesso à saúde dos doentes enquanto se cortam impostos para bilionários.”…. “Sabem o que insulta a humanidade?”, continuou ele…. “Deportar estrangeiros e separar bebês de suas mães.”….
“Sabe o que insulta a humanidade? Bombardear crianças inocentes em idade escolar no Irã e enviar nossos bravos homens e mulheres para morrer em mais uma guerra sem fim… Acobertar os arquivos de Epstein e depois se recusar a processar uma única pessoa envolvida.”…. Lewis Hamilton — que foi atacado por Trump por apoiar pessoas transgênero e afirmar que “todas as crianças são uma dádiva para este mundo” — mudou completamente o discurso…. Em vez de recuar, ele fundamentou sua mensagem nos próprios valores que Trump tentou usar como arma…. “Eu não sou uma pessoa perfeita”, disse ele…. “Mas me esforço todos os dias para usar minha plataforma em prol daqueles que não a têm.”…. “Somos ensinados a amar o nosso próximo como a nós mesmos… Conseguimos imaginar a guerra em um mundo perfeito? Conseguimos imaginar o preconceito em um mundo perfeito? Conseguimos imaginar a pobreza em um mundo perfeito? Então por que toleramos essas coisas na Terra?”
Once upon a time we had a President who wasn’t afraid to be rained on. The color of his skin didn’t run and his hair didn’t look like swamp ass.
Happy Barack Obama Appreciation Day.
Trump’s lies are designed to wear you down.
But here's what they don't understand — weariness is not surrender. We can be tired and still show up.
“We’re not going to let him win by losing faith in our ability to fight back,” @marceelias says.
