Al-Sayed can go on Fox and take on Watters. It’s impressive and means he can make inroads with disaffected Trump voters.

“What Trump is doing is he's instituting a worldwide trade extortion scheme. The tariffs are not about any particular outcome. They're about going to each country and saying, ‘Hey, nice country you got there. Would be a shame if something happened to it.’ And what he's seeking from each of these countries is submission. He wants them to submit their economic Independence and sovereignty to him.”
“And of course, the effect that that has in those countries is the opposite of what he wants. It puts the incentive to all of the politicians in Canada to oppose him, because if they do submit, they'd be thrown out of office right away. So what he's done is he's ensured the failure of his own policy and in doing so, ensured that the retaliation will come.”
“Now, while it's true that Canada will suffer more than the Americans, it's also true that the Canadians are so pissed off at us right now - 80% of Canadians are against the United States, for the first time in living memory - that they're willing to suffer more for the point of maintaining their sovereignty and standing up to Trump. And that's not the case in Michigan. That's not the case in Maine. People in America are not a fan of these trade wars. They’re not on board with Trump’s strategy.”
“So there will be political consequences, not for Trump, because he is not running, but for Republicans. But it's pretty clear that Trump doesn't care about that.”
"America’s summer Covid surge is producing new symptoms. Here’s what to look out for"
A summer COVID surge in the U.S. is bringing cough and fever, but doctors are also seeing more nausea, vomiting and dehydrating diarrhea. The dominant XFG “Stratus” variant may have changed. As one doctor said: “It’s hard to say, but as most viruses do, it mutates. So, I’m certain that it’s changed from what we have seen in the past.”

Carney did *not* allow the negotiations to fail. The USians presented inflexible demands like kidnappers do; acquiescing to them would have subjugated Canada's economy and sovereignty to the USA and MAGA. Carney rightfully did not accept them. The USians could have removed those demands, could have offered alternatives, could have acted in good faith. They chose not to. Carney took the only ethical route: to walk away from the extortionists. That wasn't a failure: it was strength.
Senator Chris Murphy: “This morning in Danbury, ICE was arresting parents at school bus stops.
But it’s more sinister. ICE waited until the kids were on the bus so when they are dropped off at the end of the day, they are alone, scared to death they can’t find their parents.
I’m heading to Danbury.”

tRump is about to revoke up to 200,000 visas in the largest mass cancellation in US history. People who entered legally and later sought asylum are the target. On top of that, a $103,000 fee on H-1B visas. This isn’t reform, it’s cruel overreach.

If a child is killed b/c their parent(s) left them alone with no supervision, they can go to prison b/c we all understand that a small child needs a responsible adult looking out for them.
I consider a child dying of a preventable disease like The #Measles or #Covid b/c their parent is any antivax idiot, to be no different. 🤬

And you see how quickly our world can be taken from us if we fall asleep. And so we have to see the cues.
We have to see the cues, this dictatorship of the monsters. How quickly it happens. We have to be vigilant.
We can't sit back and go, "Ah, life is good, I'm fine. You know, I've got food, I've got money, blah blah, I've got my house, I've got another car, I'm thinking about this, blah blah, I'm okay. I know he's a bad guy, but it's okay."
It's not okay! It's never okay.

From #npr
"Carney has warned that the U.S. is increasingly seen as an unreliable economic partner, NPR's Scott Horsley says. The prime minister, who is backed by strong public support, has vowed that Canada will fight back. The latest tariffs affect only about 5% of U.S.-Canada trade. Horsley notes that retaliation can be effective: China’s response to U.S. tariffs last year helped lead to a de-escalation."
That's the only way to deal with a bully.
