America is in desperate need of new leadership, and @PeteButtigieg is ready to lead! Here are a handful of the many reasons why #MayorPete is infinitely more well-suited for the oval office than the current occupant. #Pete2020

PM Carney on Trump's 51st state post impacting trade negotiations: "The president is an exceptionally active user of social media. You probably can chart his usage of it. It's only gone up in recent months and we're not going to respond or react to everything that he posts."
Pete Buttigieg has become one of the most prolific midterm campaigners among possible presidential candidates, backing candidates in more than 30 races and traveling to over a dozen states.
Those endorsements give him a record to tout on a potential future debate stage, especially as the party looks for leaders who can break through in Republican territory. https://t.co/QuShgAZJZc
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.

A lot of Dems in focus groups say they love Pete, but worry Americans won’t vote for a gay man. If polling starts to reflect otherwise, I could see Pete getting a lot of momentum, because he’s actually the candidate people like most when they’re not triangulating for the perceived preferences of other Americans.
The vicious responses from MAGA to artists who don’t want to participate in anything connected to Trump shows exactly why artists don’t want anything to do with him or his movement of whiny, vindictive snowflakes. You get lied to, used, abused & discarded - it is never worth it.
CARNEY: Russia is losing 35,000 troops a month, faster than it can replace them. They are not gaining territory. Pressure on Russian economy is mounting. Ukraine is striking increasingly deep into Russian territory. As you can see, balance of forces is moving in Ukraine’s favor.
.@PeteButtigieg on Gordie Howe Bridge: "The craziest thing about this is that Mexico was never going to pay for the wall, but Canada actually paid for the bridge."
PM Carney: "Today, as part of our steadfast commitment to defend Canada and to protect our allies, I'm pleased to announce that Canada has entered into negotiations to procure SAAB's airborne early warning and control aircraft."
Donald Trump ran for office for three reasons:
1) stay out of jail
2) exact revenge on his enemies
3) line his pockets
Everything else he says is bullshit.
Here's how the corruption works:
Thursday: RJ Reynolds donates $5M to Trump
Saturday: Trump invites RJR execs to Mar a Lago; execs ask to loosen regs on flavored vapes; Trump calls up RFK Jr. and tells him to change it
Friday: FDA changes the policy
