Charlie Angus: In just a year and a half, Canadian purchases of vehicles made on the American side of the border dropped 30%. If you take the American export auto economy, Canada’s number one. If you take the next 10 countries and put them together, it’s still less than Canada at number one.

Illinoisans have lost access to food assistance because the President wanted to make himself and his friends at Mar-a-Lago even richer. He made families choose between putting food on the table and paying their bills by driving up costs and cutting SNAP.

Millions of Americans are losing SNAP benefits: "It feels as though people are being punished"
More than 5 million Americans have lost food-stamp benefits since 2025. "I have to prove that I'm sick," one SNAP recipient said.

Every time some pundit claims that no one would work if their basic needs were met, I think about how, after he retired, my dad would just show up at estate sales with his truck and offer to help folks take their furniture home because he just wanted to keep busy and be around people.

My wife has a food business. I'm eating some scraps right now. She has had her most successful fortnight ever. She doesn't get sick pay, and would have to let important clients down if she got sick. So it's fortunate that my children wear masks in school.

"Never be afraid to make some noise. It is their shame, not yours."
@kbarton1001
On my first big overseas client conference, I was at a dinner seated next to a drunk client who kept trying to fondle me under the table. I was young, distressed, and had no idea what to do. I moved my legs as far away from him as I could, moving into the space of the man next to me, who then started patting my legs! The Regional Manager was a French woman who caught my eye, gestured for me to go to the bathroom and when I came back had switched chairs with me.
What happed next was epic. A few minutes after I sat back down, she raised her hand with his hand captured in hers and announced loudly "Does anyone know whose hand this is? I found it in my lap." There was dead silence at the table. She threw his hand back at him and said calmly "next time I pick it up with my fork." Then she started a new conversational thread and things moved on.
After the meeting she found me, gave me a hug, and said seriously "Never be afraid to make some noise. It is their shame, not yours."

A lot of people in the comments are mentioning that USA Today is owned by Gannett. One of my big concerns is that *every* Gannett-owned newsroom might have access to my interview now. I will never interview with any of them again.

While digging around their website, I found their ethics policy—including a section on AI-generated content. I suspect that’s a part of what happened here. And I’m upset about that too! I did NOT speak to a journalist with the assumption that my interview would be funneled into producing AI slop.

As an update for anyone who isn’t digging through the comments: I found more articles by USA Today journalists I’ve never met. There are THREE that used quotes from my interview recording—including many quotes that were never publicly published anywhere else.

I'm not linking the piece because I'd like for as few people to read it as possible. I'm writing about it here because: - I want to be clear about what happened to anyone who saw that article and felt betrayed to see me associated with it. - These are bad decisions that deserve public shame.

If a frat boy passed out drunk at a sorority, he would wake up the next day with a blanket on him, two aspirins and a glass of water next to him, his shoes off, and perfectly safe. It would NEVER occur to the women that his incapacity was license to do whatever they wanted to him. Never.

Disabled people tried to warn you. We were one of the first groups targeted by the Nazis. Fascists will always come for the “useless eaters”. They want to institutionalize us. Hide us away from the rest of society. Remove our supports so we either die or disappear. It’s eugenics.
