Trump on Canada:
“They are one of the worst countries in the world to deal with. They take advantage us. It’s time to teach Canada. You can’t do this anymore. We lose 60 billion and really more than that a year with Canada. We can’t do that.”

This deal that allows Canada to rip off the US was negotiated and signed by Trump in 2018. He even bragged how good it was.

If Trump is capable of convincing you that Canada is our enemy and North Korea is our friend, you’re a fucking idiot

They are lowering US flags to half-mast for a week, but if the government really wants to pay tribute to Dolly, they should fund education, the arts, and medical research instead of trying to eradicate them.

Fuck ALL THE WAY OFF. 🖕

In 1988 Dolly Parton pulled every 7th and 8th grader in Sevier County into a room and told them to pick a buddy.

She made them sign a contract.. if BOTH graduate, she hands you both $500. One fails, nobody gets paid.

The county dropout rate went from 35% to 6%.

She handed out the checks herself.

In 1989 she offered $500 to every kid in the county who wanted to go to the local college.

When Gatlinburg burned in 2016, she sent 900 families $1,000 a month for six months.

You've probably heard that part.

Here's the part you haven't:

The fund raised more than expected, so she showed up in May and handed every one of those families another $5,000 on top.

Then she quietly put $3 million into the recovery group that handles the years after the news trucks leave.

She built her county an entire hospital.

She played a benefit concert in 2007, Dollywood and the Stampede matched it, and LeConte Medical Center opened in 2010 with a birthing unit and a women's center in it.

In 2022 she started covering 100% of tuition, books, and fees for Dollywood employees.

Full-time, part-time, AND seasonal.

In 1991 she paid for a bald eagle sanctuary because the birds couldn't be released back into the wild, no press release.

And when Hurricane Helene came through here in Western North Carolina, she wrote a personal check for $1 million and her companies matched it.

She didn't owe North Carolina anything, but she helped us anyway.

She started the Imagination Library because her daddy couldn't read or write. Before he passed, he told her it was the most important thing she ever did.

Rest in Peace, Dolly 🇺🇸

a growing number of world leaders expect to be in power well beyond the end of trump’s term (from putin and xi…to mbs and mbz…to carney and modi) and are acting accordingly.

[Senex @senex_official]

Benjamin Netanyahu is the worst president the United States has ever had.

[Joe Kent @joekent16jan19]

These all sound like Iranian problems, we should focus on American problems.

We should retract our failing empire to save our beloved Republic.

BREAKING: Israel is wiping out entire neighborhoods in South Lebanon right now.

War crimes in broad daylight. During a “ceasefire,” no less.

Not a peep from the “international community.”

Not a word from the International Criminal Court.

Sen. Warner: "There was no threat to the US from Iran. There was a threat to Israel."

"If we view a threat to Israel as an imminent threat to the US, then clearly we're occupied by Israeli Jews."

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

The main difference between republicans and democrats is where on the globe they want us to be involved in a war.

June 24, 2026: Trump buys up to $250k in Palantir stock.

That same day: Palantir gets a $45.8 million government contract.

Facts don't give a fuck about your feelings.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Why would Trump end a program that saves you money by letting you file your taxes for free with the IRS?

Maybe because TurboTax's parent company donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration.

Call it out for what it is: corruption.

@marlene4719 While Bessent is trying to find ways to get trump out of a war the US has clearly lost, he is also diverting our attention from the economic cliff the US is about to fall off of, the solution to which he has no clue.

[sarah @sahouraxo]

BREAKING: Israel just bombed a water desalination plant in northern Gaza.

Not a military base.
An essential infrastructure built to provide water to civilians suffering through an extreme water crisis.

Gaza is running out of water.

This is an act of genocide.

[Jamie Bonkiewicz @JamieBonkiewicz]

Just a reminder that one day, kids will study Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu the same way we studied Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin.
