Pay attention to who is willing to break the law for Trump as we head into the midterms—because his end goal is to create a system where others will break the law for him. It's about building a custom where it's normal to break the law for a person. The big case is the military
A total of 160 rigs were actively drilling for oil and gas across Canada in May, a 45 per cent increase over the same period last year, according to energy technology company Baker Hughes.
It’s the most since 2014.
Fired "60 Minutes" journalist Scott Pelley says CBS News boss Bari Weiss is lying when she says there was an effort to "find a way back" for him.
"At no point did anyone in the meeting suggest there could be steps taken by either side that would lead to a resolution. Weiss and Tom Cibrowski were openly hostile from the start. 'Firing' was raised by Cibrowski in the first 15 seconds. No CBS executive, at any time, suggested 'a way back.' To say so now is disingenuous. And they know it. In fact, Weiss, Cibrowski and Nick Bilton refused to answer my questions. I asked Weiss a number of questions about why she fired the entire senior staff of '60 Minutes' a few days before and without cause. 'I'm not answering that question,' she said... These executives cannot gain the trust of the staff with lies. This is antithetical to everything we stand for and reveals contempt for what journalists do."

US tariffs on Canadian aluminium are accelerating a broader shift of trade flows toward Europe.Aluminium, LNG to Germany, critical minerals, industrial and defence cooperation: 🇨🇦🇪🇺 ties are strengthening.
CETA may prove more consequential than expected.

Canada’s Aluminium Is Going to Europe. Brilliant Work, Donald.
A 50% tariff on Canadian aluminium, the one country on Earth that was happily selling the stuff at sensible prices, right next door, through an integrated supply chain that took decades to build. And now that aluminium is sailing across the Atlantic to Europe instead.
Canadian exports to the EU went from near zero to between 6% and 40% of monthly totals in the space of a year. Just vanished eastward. Extraordinary result.
US consumers are now paying $6,200 a ton for aluminium. Europeans are paying $4,300.  American manufacturers taxed nearly two thousand dollars a ton more than their competitors. For beer cans. And car parts. And buildings. Tremendous. Nobody could have seen that coming, except everyone.
Meanwhile Europe, which was already scrambling after losing its Middle Eastern supply to the Iran war, now faces a 5.6 million-ton aluminium deficit in 2026. And Canada just filled it. With metal that used to go to America.
The head of the Aluminium Association of Canada put it with admirable restraint: the EU option “remains attractive,” adding pressure on the US market. What he meant was: Washington handed Europe a competitive advantage in manufacturing while American industry pays the bill.
This is what happens when a trade guru who has spent his career slapping his name on buildings in gold letters decides he understands global commodity flows. No leverage materialises. Just an empty dock in Ohio and a very pleased purchasing manager in Rotterdam.
Well done, Donald.
