BREAKING: AMEN! AOC goes for Mitch McConnell's jugular as rumors swirl that he's dead: "If he can't give us an update, he should resign. Absolutely!"

And she was just getting warmed up...

"In addition to the one he sent out about a week and a half ago?" a reporter replied to Ocasio-Cortez's statement.

"I think it's been very clear to people across Kentucky that his update was not sufficient," said AOC. "And, you know, I don't know if he has a conversation with a journalist. I don't know if he has a conversation with the governor."

Either of those solutions would immediately solve the problem. McConnell could put this thing to bed for good by simply reaching out to Democratic Governor Andy Besehar directly or by having a sit down conversation with a reporter from a reputable news outlet.

As it stands, Kentuckians genuinely do not know right now if they have a living senior senator. There has been a constant stream of rumors and reports that McConnell is either deceased or braindead following his hospitalization for a cardiac arrest that necessitated CPR.

His "proof-of-life" photo was utterly unconvincing and could have easily been an AI-generated image or a much older photo like Republican Senator Ron Johnson has suggested. If he's actually alive, why aren't they releasing more evidence to prove it?

"I don't know what his staff are doing," continued AOC. "But we have a responsibility to the American people. We're seeing increasingly these votes are being decided by a one or two vote margin."

"And if you're not capable of — not only not capable of doing the job presently — but we need to know if you're capable of doing the job for the foreseeable future," she added. "And that I think is tremendously important."

It seems increasingly possible that McConnell is in fact dead and his staff is covering it up to avoid a temporary appointment by the governor followed by a special election. If that is indeed what's going on, there needs to be a full criminal investigation!

Please ❤️ and share to urge the governor to call their bluff and appoint a replacement!

Kim: Trump is putting our service members in harm’s way, and now we see the results of it. So it is horrific. I hope we end this war immediately. That would be the best tribute he could pay to our service members.

Rep. Meeks: "This administration treats our friends like enemies. Absurd tariffs against Canada being the latest example. Countries around the world are asking if this is how the US acts toward its closest friends. How will it treat us?"

Meiselas: Trump has handled the Defense Department like he has Trump businesses -- he gave it a new name, and then he bankrupted it.

Jeffries: Trump can't organize a two-car parade if he tried. And unfortunately, the American people are experiencing the adverse consequences of his inability to lead anything, anywhere other than to destruction.

"THESE FOLKS JUST DON'T WANT TO WORK"

AOC doesn't hold back after reports Mike Johnson may call an early August recess:

"I mean, we're here to do a job.

There are so many different instances where people clock in, and they're expected to show up on time, and they're expected to leave their job on time.

And if you are leaving your job early, you need to be accountable for that and tell people why.

And these folks just don't want to work.

And it's really shameful."

Rep.Tliab destroyed Russell Vought after he has the nerve to say that he works for the President of the United States. In his mind thats who he works for and will do anything for not the American people. He cares about Trump thats it not the taxpayers paying him to F up.

BREAKING: Doug Ford FIRES BACK at Trump’s Canada tariffs by cutting U.S. companies out of Ontario contracts — and ripping up its Starlink deal.

A petulant Donald Trump wants a trade war with Canada. Now, Ontario Premier Doug Ford just showed him exactly what that actually costs.

Responding to Trump's new 50% tariffs on Canadian goods, Ford announced Ontario is banning all U.S.-based companies from participating in the province's government procurement contracts, effective immediately.

This isn't small change: Ontario and its agencies spend approximately $30 billion annually on procurement, layered on top of a massive $200 billion infrastructure plan. American businesses just lost access to tens of billions of dollars in potential revenue.

"They only have President Trump to blame," Ford said bluntly.

But Ford didn't stop there. In a move dripping with well-deserved symbolism, Ontario is completely tearing up its contract with Starlink — Elon Musk's satellite internet company. "It's done, it's gone," Ford declared.

The message is unmistakable: Ontario isn't interested in enriching companies tied to an administration actively waging economic war against Canadian workers and families.

"We won't award contracts to people who enable and encourage economic attacks on our province and our country," Ford said.

And Ford isn't going it alone. He's calling on all 444 municipalities across Ontario to adopt the same procurement ban, with cities like Brampton, led by Mayor Patrick Brown, already stepping up to join the fight.

This is shaping up as a coordinated, province-wide — and potentially nationwide — economic response, with Ford explicitly framing it as part of "Team Canada's" opening salvo against Trump's tariffs.

Let's be clear about what's happening here.

Trump picked this fight, hitting Canadian goods with punishing tariffs over shifting, often contradictory justifications, from wildfire smoke to retaliatory grievances over alcohol sales.

Ontario isn't backing down or begging for mercy. It's hitting back, strategically and forcefully, by cutting American companies out of tens of billions in Canadian taxpayer dollars.

Trump wanted Canada to come "running back," as he put it. Instead, he's getting a united, defiant response that's going to cost American businesses dearly.

And meanwhile, who is going to ultimately pay that 50% tariff on imported Canadian goods? American consumers, that’s who.

There goes Trump, driving up inflation once again

Our energy diet continues to go up as a country. But President Trump is killing wind and solar projects because they're "woke." He is making a ridiculous political association when we just need more energy on the grid.

[Tomthunkit™ @TomthunkitsMind]

Ontario Premier Doug Ford just canceled Elon Musk’s Starlink contract and banned all U.S. companies from government contracts in response to Trump’s economic war with Canada.

“It’s done, it’s gone,” Ford said. “We won’t award contracts to people who enable and encourage economic attacks on our province and our country.”

And just to be clear: “They only have President Trump to blame.”

So Trump starts a trade war, and now American businesses are getting locked out of Canada. This isn’t “tough negotiating”—this is our closest ally shutting the door on us while Trump pretends he’s “winning.”

MAGA wanted an economic war? Well, they just got one. And it’s American companies and workers who are about to feel the pain.
