My favorite part of reporting today's column was hearing U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer say a trade war with Canada was no big deal for America, then finding a post on HIS OWN DEPARTMENT'S WEBSITE detailing how Canada is one of our top-2 trading partners. www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Trump's Canada trade war makes no sense. I love that for him. | Opinion
Amid an affordability crisis and with the midterm elections looming, President Donald Trump decided it's a great time to slap Canada with 50% tariffs.

Stephen Miller said a Chicago apartment building raided by immigration agents was “filled with terrorists.” So why is it that not a single person arrested that night was charged with a crime? 🎧 This is the real story behind the midnight raid. Listen on “Paper Trail”:

Trump officials claimed they successfully arrested members of Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua in a dramatic midnight raid. We uncovered a very different story.

I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on - if your position is that the president of the United States and his family should be immune from IRS scrutiny, you’re unqualified to be the Attorney General. It’s an indictment on our entire system that 50 GOP Senators don’t agree.
