i’ve never seen canadians—politically left, right and center—so angry with the united states as right now
many americans don’t care or know why it matters. but long term the united states benefits greatly from deep and trusted international relationships. and none have been closer (and closely integrated) than us-canada
Since 1965, there have been 6 fiscal years when federal spending fell relative to the preceding year:
🔵1965 - LBJ
🔵2010 - Obama
🔵2012 - Obama
🔵2013 - Obama
🔵2022 - Biden
🔵2023 - Biden
No Republican president in the last 60 years has cut spending vs. prior year.
The Trump family’s business, World Liberty Financial, is corruption at a scale we’ve never seen.
World Liberty is currently being sued by Justin Sun, a major crypto founder, for:
1.Seizing his $75 million $WLFI investment.
2.Secretly adding controls allowing it to unilaterally freeze tokens, block governance rights, and burn holders’ tokens.
Ironic, no?
The leader of the free world is literally holding people’s money hostage.
A supposed “champion of decentralization” gave himself the authority to seize private property.
But wait. There’s more.
World Liberty borrowed $75 million using its own token as collateral. The exact type of circular borrowing and leverage that took down FTX. Another fraudulent crypto business.
This wouldn’t be a problem with government oversight. Instead, World Liberty just received preliminary conditional approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to become a national trust bank.
By the time this house of cards collapses, the Trump family will have made hundreds of millions of dollars, sold its tokens, and left the American people holding the bag.
Oh, and let’s not forget. An Abu Dhabi-linked entity acquired a 49% stake in World Liberty. A separate UAE-based fund later bought $100 million of the $WLFI token.
We are now conveniently engaged in a never-ending war in the Middle East.
The crypto industry deserves better.
I just talked to Jewish-American and Muslim-American doctors who were in Gaza and featured in the movie American Doctor. They explained how many kids were shot in the head and chest by Israeli snipers. They're murdering the kids on purpose.
83% of American doctors who went to Gaza reported a child assassinated by a sniper with either a head or chest shot - every single day they were there. They're murdering the children on purpose.
One of the doctors explained that when Israel surrounds a hospital, bombs it, raids it and shuts it down, they purposely destroy all the life saving equipment. In the hospital he was in, they destroyed the incubators, and eight babies died without them.
We are being forced to finance a fascist country committing a genocide, while the monsters in our government and media pretend it isn't happening.
Trump promised to balance the budget.
Musk projected $2 trillion in savings.
This year, the deficit grew by 18% — with $200 billion of that due to refunds of his illegal tariffs.

What do Zohran Mamdani, Abdul El-Sayed, Peggy Flanagan and Angie Nixon have in common?
They all ran strong progressive grassroots campaigns. They were all heavily outspent. THEY ALL WON.
The establishment has the money. We have the people.
When we stand together, we win.
