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.

The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water.
Equipment taxpayers already bought and paid for, removed right as record temperatures and a possible collapse of Atlantic currents have scientists alarmed. There is no savings analysis. The gear is already paid for. And the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea, destroying the only tools that could measure the damage.
They are smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.
TWEEPS: Republicans want to slash Social Security.
They want us too distracted by trump's Iran war to recall Mike Johnson got caught on a hot mic admitting it
Can we get 1,000 fast RTs and replies with #HandsOffSocialSecurity?
Please and thank you. 🙏💪
When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package:
Overturn Citizens United
Ban corporate PACs and super PACs
Ban members of Congress from trading stocks
Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this corrupt system.
The visa rejection rates in the US for African football fans have been off the charts for the World Cup.
This is a scandal of epic proportions for a sports tournament that prides itself on being global and multicultural. This story is not getting nearly enough coverage.
Early voting starts today, and the choice couldn’t be clearer. Today was supposed to be the first of two debates, hosted by local news stations. I accepted. My opponent refused.
The Lowcountry deserves a leader who knows this community, has fought for this community, and will always show up for this community. That’s why I’m running, and that’s why I’m asking for your vote.
Early voting continues tomorrow, and Election Day is June 23. Visit https://t.co/G2Bw2Md71w to find your polling place.
11 years ago, nine worshippers were murdered at Mother Emanuel AME Church.
Today, we honor the Emanuel Nine and recommit ourselves to the work of justice.
South Carolina still lacks a statewide hate crimes law.
Their memory deserves more than remembrance. It deserves action.
$300 billion is 5 X as much as Congress spends on our roads & bridges annually. I’m tired of winning.
The U.S.A. “undertakes with regional partners to develop a definitive, mutually agreed plan with at least $300 billion for the reconstruction and economic development of” Iran.
We’re about to spend $300,000,000,000 rebuilding Iran after spending $80,000,000,000 destroying it, while telling Americans on Medicaid to take a hike.
America First.
The President promised the American people that his fancy new ballroom wasn’t going to be built with taxpayer dollars.
Another promise he didn't keep. We've just learned that half of it is paid for by your money.
