Almost every ocean ship entering the Great Lakes goes through the Welland Canal. Eight locks, all of it in Ontario. There is no other route.. The biggest beneficiaries are Ohio, Michigan and Indiana - we need to increase the levy substantially
Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes is suing to block Trump’s new restrictions on mail-in voting:
“Over my dead body is that rule gonna go into effect.”
NEW: Mayor of Brampton, Ontario tells me manufacturers from China and Italy have expressed interest in a shuttered Stellantis plant in that Canadian city amid the trade war with the U.S. 3,000 workers are out of work because of it. WATCH:
Democrats will take back the House. And when we do, we will pass a forward-looking agenda.
But our job at Oversight will be holding the Trump Crime Family accountable for their corruption.

Tom Mulcair: "[Trump's] becoming a caricature of himself, sitting there in the Oval Office with a pen, writing Lake America. It is so mindless and childish. This is the leader of the most powerful nation in the world. And he's actually doing that, taking out his little Sharpie to change the name of a lake."
The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.
The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.
We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms.
Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.
BREAKING: LOL! Premier Wab Kinew of Manitoba, Canada gives the PERFECT response to Trump trying to rename Lake Ontario to "Lake America," says he's like a washed up musician.
This is just too perfect...
"You know when like a rock band is really over the hill and you see them like in a casino playing some song from like 50 years ago?" said Kinew. "I think that's the part of Donald Trump's presidency we're at now."
"Like he thought he had a real hit, a real golden oldie with the Gulf of Mexico and he's trying to bring back that," he added. "He's trying to play the hits for his base but I think everybody here thinks it's a little sad and it's not his best work."
Earlier today, Trump held a big pathetic event in the Oval Office to officially sign an order directing the pointless renaming. The move comes amidst his new, self-destructive trade war with Canada and escalating, deranged rhetoric against our closest ally.
"The lake change, the Lake of America, was something I've been thinking about for a long time, actually," Trump said during the signing.
The renaming has gone over like a lead balloon with average Americans who are struggling to afford groceries, gas, and rent due to Trump's disastrous Iran War. Everyone outside of the MAGA cult sees this as a transparent attempt to distract from myriad failures. It's akin to jangling keys in front of a cat.
Please ❤️ and share if you're not falling for this BS!
Tom Mulcair: "Trump is a very blunt instrument. Today he boasted that he's the one who made last-minute demands on Canada, but poor Jameson Greer was out there in front of the cameras today saying, no, no, no, it was Canada who did that. They can't even get their story straight."
JUST IN: President Trump has signed an executive order changing the name of Lake Ontario to "Lake America." The name change is "effective immediately," Trump said. https://t.co/pvptUp6pBm
