It sold 9 drinks a day in its first year.

BREAKING: The US Government has begun refunding up to $166 billion in tariffs charged under President Trump after the Supreme Court ruled the policy unlawful.

Beginning today, businesses can file claims through a new customs system.

Over 330,000 importers across 53 million shipments are expected to be eligible.

Once approved, refunds plus interest will be paid within 60 to 90 days.

I worked on this file.

From one former spokesperson to another. With affection. And a red pen.

Fact check time.

Canada does not control what crosses the bridge. Customs and border enforcement are exercised by each country on its own side. Like every other border crossing on Earth. This is not a novelty. It is the border.

Canada does not own the land on both sides. Canada owns the Canadian side. The State of Michigan owns the U.S. side. That is literally the definition of a border.

The bridge was built with American labor. Thousands of American workers. Billions added to Michigan’s GDP. American steel was used. This is not a hypothetical. It is documented. Repeatedly.

Ownership. There is no single owner of “the bridge” in the way this is being framed. Each country owns and controls its side. Again. Border. That was the deal. Signed. Ratified. Applauded.

Economic benefits. The U.S. already gets them. Jobs. GDP. Trade flow. Regional growth. That is what a functioning border crossing does.

And just for the record. The President himself praised the project in 2017 and called for its expeditious completion. On paper. In a joint statement. With Canada.

You can change your mind. You can change your politics. You can even change your story.

But you cannot polish a turd.
