@crampell.bsky.social talks with Jasper Hill Farm's Mateo Kehler about what Trump's trade war with Canada looks like on the ground, with businesses, families, and communities on both sides of the border paying the price: "There are no winners here. Everybody in our region is losing."

New new @lawfaremedia.org article on why the president doesn't have unlimited power to impose import bans. Most of the same constitutional and other legal constraints apply, as with tariffs: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

The President Doesn’t Have Unlimited Power to Impose Import Bans
Contrary to Trump’s claims, executive power to impose import bans is constrained by most of the same legal restrictions as the power to impose tariffs.

Kyiv is becoming a frontline city, the destruction is massive & more people telling me they’re leaving. All of this is happening as the financial ties between Trump’s transactional circle & the Kremlin come to light, at the very moment Ukraine needs Washington most open.substack.com/pub/worldbri...

AI is just like the internet, or social media—it’s a technology which could be used for maximal benefit, but instead has been captured by a handful of oligarchs. I think it’s always important to distinguish between new technologies and the ownership & governance structures they’re embedded within.

This reads like corporate insider bingo. How many Goldman Sachs squares can you dab? "The PMO is now run, at least culturally, like a business." If you want good insights into Mark Carney & how his govt works, read this @justinling.ca piece. #GiftLink 🎁 #CdnPoli www.thestar.com/gift-redeem?...
Most Liberals I spoke to number Carney’s inner circle in the single digits, and nobody seems entirely sure who’s on the full list of his confidants. His personal Rolodex includes a lot of very rich and powerful people, one Liberal noted, including billionaire Michael Bloomberg.

Not just about the vote. Democracies rely on their institutions to keep the power of their leaders & government responsible & constrained. Failing to do so for such a corrupt & inept administration gives noone outside the US confidence this carnage will not happen again no matter who is President.
