NBC News Exclusive:
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has issued a new directive that blocks Jan. 6 insurrectionists from working in state jobs — ignoring Trump's attempt to offer them a clean slate.
Pritzker: "No one who attempts to overthrow a government should serve in government." https://t.co/KnryB8nttV
“Every year, LCBO sells nearly $1 billion worth of American wine, beer, spirits and seltzers. Not anymore,” announces Ontario Premier Doug Ford. “Starting Tuesday, we’re removing American products from LCBO shelves.” https://t.co/1jjXPHbkFq

Trump just admitted Americans could feel the pain of his Trump tariffs, saying, in part:
"THERE BE SOME PAIN? YES, MAYBE (AND MAYBE NOT!). BUT WE WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, AND IT WILL ALL BE WORTH THE PRICE THAT MUST BE PAID."
Canada’s response to U.S. tariffs. Justin Trudeau's best speech.
Canada will place 25% tariffs on $155 billion in US imports in retaliation for Trump tariffs. That is an addition to a nationwide boycott on all US products across Canada. #cdnpoli#tariffwar
🚨🚨 NEW >> Some quite frightening hours for @FBI case agents and supervisors who worked on investigations of Donald Trump's mishandling and hoarding of classified records and attempt to overturn an election. They began learning today that White House and Trump allies are set on a massive bureau purge -- and had reviewing internal FBI files to identify them and fire them, possibly by Monday.

American auto stocks plummeted after the White House confirmed it’ll impose 25% tariffs on Mexico & Canada tomorrow (and 10% on China).
The trade barriers spell disaster for US automakers, whose supply chains are deeply entwined with our North American neighbors.
Trump has no clue what he just did. Some car parts go back & forth between 🇲🇽🇨🇦🇺🇸 FIVE times. The fallout will be epic. And different from Trump, Trudeau did the math on how to respond. It will create food insecurity, bring 🚘 production to a halt, worsen housing crisis /1
“The dumbest trade war in history”
The WSJ Editorial Board slams Trump’s trade war with Camada and Mexico:
“Mr. Trump sometimes sounds as if the U.S. shouldn’t import anything at all, that America can be a perfectly closed economy making everything at home. This is called autarky, and it isn’t the world we live in, or one that we should want to live in, as Mr. Trump may soon find out…
None of this is supposed to happen under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement that Mr. Trump negotiated and signed in his first term. The U.S. willingness to ignore its treaty obligations, even with friends, won’t make other countries eager to do deals. Maybe Mr. Trump will claim victory and pull back if he wins some token concessions.
But if a North American trade war persists, it will qualify as one of the dumbest in history."
The United States has confirmed that it intends to impose 25% tariffs on most Canadian goods, with 10% tariffs on energy, starting February 4.
I’ve met with the Premiers and our Cabinet today, and I’ll be speaking with President Sheinbaum of Mexico shortly.
We did not want this, but Canada is prepared. I’ll be addressing Canadians later this evening.
Trump’s attempted impoundments are a claim to presidential control of legislation, and so if allowed would undo a very fundamental principle of the Constitution. Read this.

1/ Let me explain why the total destruction of USAID - happening as we speak - matters so much.
China - where Musk makes his money - wants USAID destroyed. So does Russia. Trump and Musk are doing the bidding of Beijing and Moscow. Why?

The State Department’s passport application system has been offline this weekend — one of several US government websites that have disappeared or seen significant content deleted.

Aside from the general issues about Trump‘s tariff and his economic nationalism strategy, today’s actions against Canada and Mexico are inexplicable and dangerous. 1/8
In response to some queries: It is unclear how widespread the current tuberculosis outbreak is in the US with CDC's AtlasPlus tool offline and the weekly TB cases stack not updated. Hoping it's back online Monday. https://t.co/ZeHdFpORMi

"Vice President Harris never called a little girl cute or commented on her outfit; instead, she'd say, 'You look like the smartest person in your class.' The vice president would say, 'Let me hear you say, 'I am a leader,'' and even the youngest girls would say it back. I filmed hundreds of clips of Kamala Harris telling young people to believe in themselves because they can achieve anything." https://t.co/WGhB7P4Css
