[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

We all knew he was lying about the Reflecting Pool. The problem is that he lies so often that it’s almost impossible to keep up.

So I asked AI to compile claims from just the past twenty-four months and then checked them against official data, contemporaneous reporting and independent fact-checks.

Here is a partial list of 86 lies:
1. He promised to bring prices down “starting on Day One.” Grocery prices remained high and continued rising.
2. After winning, he admitted that prices are very hard to bring down once they have gone up.
3. He said egg prices had fallen 93 percent. They had not fallen remotely close to 93 percent.
4. He said he inherited the highest inflation in American history. He inherited an annual inflation rate of 2.9 percent.
5. When corrected, he changed the claim to the worst inflation in 49 years. That was also false. Annual inflation reached 23.7 percent in 1920.
6. He said there was virtually no inflation during his first term. Consumer prices rose approximately 8 percent.
7. He repeatedly claimed he had already brought inflation down, including during periods when the annual inflation rate was higher than the 2.9 percent reported shortly before he took office.
8. He told Congress inflation was “plummeting.” Prices were still rising overall, including major household expenses such as housing, electricity and medical care.
9. He claimed to have secured $18 trillion in new investment.
10. He then raised the figure to $19.2 trillion.
11. Even the White House’s own tracker listed far less, and its total included multiyear pledges, purchasing agreements, previously announced projects and commitments that might never become actual US investment.
12. He said America was building more factories than ever.
13. He said factory construction was rising.
14. He said the country had achieved its highest growth ever. Manufacturing employment declined, factory-construction claims depended on cherry-picked categories, and economic growth was nowhere near a historical record.
15. He called the country he inherited a dead country. The US economy grew 2.8 percent in 2024, faster than every other major wealthy economy except Spain.
16. He says foreign countries pay his tariffs. American importers pay them and frequently pass the cost on to American consumers.
17. He said the evidence overwhelmingly showed consumers did not pay his tariffs. Economic studies found that American consumers and businesses absorbed nearly all their cost.
18. He said tariff revenue came with “no inflation.” Prices continued rising, and economic research found that the tariffs themselves increased costs for American consumers and businesses.
19. He repeatedly said drug prices were down 70, 80 or 90 percent. No broad measure of prescription-drug prices showed anything close to those reductions.
20. He said Medicaid was “left the same.” The Congressional Budget Office estimated that the legislation would reduce federal Medicaid spending by roughly $930 billion over ten years.
21. He said Americans were “not going to feel any of it.” The Congressional Budget Office projected that the legislation would leave approximately 11.8 million more people uninsured.
22. He said the Medicaid changes touched only waste, fraud and abuse. Independent analyses found that the legislation reduced coverage and federal spending far beyond fraudulent claims.
23. He said he had eliminated taxes on Social Security. The law created a temporary deduction, unavailable to many beneficiaries, that expires after 2028. It did not abolish taxation of Social Security benefits.
24. He said taxes would rise 68 percent without his bill. No credible independent estimate came close to supporting that figure.
25. He then declared, “I’ve kept all my promises and much more.”
26. He publicly promised at least 53 times to end the Ukraine war within 24 hours, or even before taking office.

I am so weary of hearing Canada is picking fights with Trump. We have had restrained responses to every one of Trump's attacks. Every single fight was initiated by the Trump administration. All the ones taken to US courts were deemed violations of the treaty or the US constution.

So let's review 6 years of Donald Trump's attacks on Canada.

The Truth About Milk 🥛🇨🇦🇺🇸

Yes, Canada has high over-quota dairy tariffs on the books. But here’s the part that keeps getting left out:

They’ve never been triggered on U.S. milk under USMCA. Not once.

The U.S. gets a large tariff-free quota to sell dairy into Canada. Those quotas have never been filled, so the 200–300% over-quota tariffs have never actually been applied to U.S. exports. Even the U.S. dairy industry has acknowledged it has never come close to exceeding the quotas.

Canada is a country of just 41 million people. We simply don’t consume enough imported U.S. dairy to hit the quota limits. The “270% tariff on Canadian milk” talking point/ sound bite leaves out the most important fact: it has never actually been charged on U.S. exports.

Canada’s boreal forest — the source of much of the wildfire smoke drifting into the U.S. — isn’t like our managed forests in the lower 48.
It’s the largest intact forest ecosystem on Earth: roughly 1.3 billion acres (about 78 times larger than Alaska’s Tongass, our biggest national forest, and 7 times larger than all 154 U.S. National Forests combined). It stretches in an almost continuous belt from the Yukon to Newfoundland.
Why can’t they just do controlled burns like we do here?
Because most of it is remote, roadless wilderness.
• Less than 9% of Canada’s population lives in the boreal region.
• Less than 1% of the forest itself is developed.
• Vast areas have no roads and are only accessible by aircraft or winter roads.
You can’t send crews in to do prescribed burns across a billion+ acres of inaccessible terrain the way we can in populated areas near roads and communities in the U.S. Wildfire has been nature’s primary management tool in these ecosystems for thousands of years.
Smoke reaching the Northeast isn’t new either. It happened in 1950, 1988, 1995, 2002, 2017, 2021, 2023, 2025, and now 2026. Weather (especially upper-level wind patterns) determines where the smoke goes, not just where the fires are burning.
Blaming Canada’s government for “not controlling” these fires is political theater. The scale and inaccessibility make large-scale suppression or prevention across that wilderness fundamentally different — and in many places, practically impossible — from managing forests near U.S. population centers.
Nature runs that forest. Politicians don’t. Let’s stop pretending otherwise.

Statement from Annie Farmer on meeting with Todd Blanche:

"After meeting with Todd Blanche, I feel even more confident in urging senators to vote against his confirmation as the United States' Attorney General.

"I found him abrasive, condescending, and intentionally noncommittal to survivors — a marked contrast to his public testimony during his confirmation hearing.

"While quick to point to the failures of previous administrations, he refused to take accountability for mistakes made under his own leadership. Specifically, he would not commit to an inquiry into why my sister Maria Farmer's 1996 report went uninvestigated; he refused to release documents related to internal discussions about charging Epstein that would provide important clarification about previous errors, and his explanations for his nine-hour interview with Ghislaine Maxwell and her subsequent transfer to a less secure facility were wholly dissatisfactory and contrived.

"His evasiveness felt like a deliberate attempt to claim the Attorney General's office is powerless in this matter. By passing the buck once again, he is leaving survivors trapped in the same endless loop of searching for answers and receiving none."

[Dimitris Soudas 🇨🇦⚜️🇬🇷☦️ 13.12.1943 @DimitrisSoudas]

Mr. President,

Wildfires do not recognize international borders. Smoke crosses borders just as hurricanes, floods, droughts, and pollution do. Canada has never blamed the United States for the smoke from California, Oregon, or Washington, just as we would not expect Americans to be blamed for hurricanes that cross into Canadian waters.

The reality is that Canada’s forests cover nearly 350 million hectares, roughly 9% of the world’s forests, much of it remote wilderness where fire has been a natural part of the ecosystem for thousands of years. No country on Earth has the capacity to remove every tree, every branch, or every piece of combustible material across landscapes of that scale.

Canada invests billions of dollars annually in wildfire prevention, forest management, firefighting, and emergency response. Thousands of Canadian firefighters, military personnel, Indigenous fire crews, and volunteers risk their lives every summer protecting communities, often alongside American firefighters under long-standing mutual aid agreements.

In return, Canada has repeatedly sent aircraft, personnel, and equipment to help fight devastating wildfires in the United States whenever called upon. That is what neighbours do.

Climate conditions, prolonged drought, lightning strikes, insect infestations, and extreme weather have all contributed to longer and more severe wildfire seasons across North America. This is a shared continental challenge, not a uniquely Canadian one.

Rather than assigning blame, Canada and the United States should continue strengthening cooperation on wildfire prevention, forest management, scientific research, firefighting capacity, and emergency preparedness.

Our two countries have always been strongest when we confront common challenges together, not when we look for someone to blame.

We thank you for your attention to this matter. Sir.

¿Cómo puede justificar el gobierno de Donald Trump este actuar de su Gestapo?

¿Acaso esto no debería de ser motivo de fuertes críticas y exhortos de organismos internacionales para que Trump respete los Derechos Humanos? @hrw @UNHumanRights @Claudiashein

The White House was never supposed to be a palace.

George Washington and architect James Hoban deliberately rejected the lavish style of European monarchies. Instead, they designed a President’s House that reflected the ideals of a republic: dignified, restrained, and accountable to the people.

The White House belongs to the American people. Every president is just a temporary tenant.

[Reggie B. @reggiebblue]

"Regime Change" authors Maggie Haberman and Johnathan Swan describe how the level of corruption and self dealing by Trump and his family is unlike anything they've ever seen.

"We've never seen anything like this-- conflict of interest and self dealing-- in American history in terms of the scale. Sums of money are of a different order. Crypto. Trump Library donation. Qatari jet."

"There is no congressional oversight over it. There is so much happening and there is just radio silence from Congress. It's striking."

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

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.

Trump’s humiliating Iran surrender in one chart:

Obama: 98% uranium cut, enrichment capped, sanctions in place, 0 American lives lost.

Trump: $25B unfrozen, sanctions lifted, Hormuz tolls for Iran, 15 dead + 543 injured Americans, $2.2 TRILLION cost.

So weak!
