Mexico needs to read the room and become the country it was always meant to be: strong, independent, and sovereign from US influence, economic dependence, and lose the mindset that makes it shrink on the international stage. It's time to take the hint, follow Canada and survive.

Canada will announce its counter-tariffs on Tuesday. They will take effect on September 8, 2026 (the Tuesday after Labour Day). "Our response will be concentrated in sectors such as steel, dairy, appliances, agricultural equipment, pulp and paper, and electronics."

We need big money out of elections. Corporations don’t get to donate, only people. Or just set the maximum donation at 20 bucks to start and tie it to inflation, nah make that minimum wage. We can all donate one hour at minimum wage income.

I think we'll find out that changing planes the first time, from the Qatari jet to the old AF1 was a legit security move, but that the second change via the food truck was Trump panicking at the assassination threat & doing his own move -- throwing AF1 as bait and making his cabinet go along with it

The president secretly changed planes in order to evade a credible assassination threat from Iran. But yeah, that flight that literally no one knew about (even his staff) was definitely in the crosshairs. trib.al/fK7hmDZ

BREAKING: We just filed a lawsuit, on behalf of @freedom.press and @theintercept.com, over Trump's $100,000 subscription for early access to his official government statements on Truth Social. Not only is this latest scheme obscene, it's a blatant violation of the Constitution.

10 years ago, Congress put Puerto Rico's finances under an unelected fiscal board that put Wall Street first. Now Trump is firing its members and opening the door for even more of his Wall Street buddies. It’s time for Puerto Rico to have the right to determine its own future.

I can't tell what is satire anymore.
two photos of an infant. The baby has very long, dark, wavy hair extensions that reach past their shoulders. The baby is wearing a white headband with a large flower and a white lace outfit.

The caption reads: "I don't care what y'all say, my 8 month old baby wanted hair extensions so I got them for her. Stop being such judging parents, every baby is different."

image edited to resemble a satirical wikiHow article.

At the top, the wikiHow logo is visible next to the breadcrumb navigation "Cowards >>> Hiding." The article title reads: "How to steer your Human Shield."

The central image shows  stephen miller in a tuxedo standing behind his wife in a pink dress in what appears to be a formal banquet setting. He has both hands placed on her chest as if steering her or using her for cover. Both individuals have intense, focused expressions.

Below the image, large text for the first step reads: "1.) Grasp firmly by the titty." A watermark in the corner of the photo reads "ZCHAMPSKY©."

An under-appreciated fact about Wisconsin's supreme court. Chris Taylor won a *ten-year* term yesterday; she'll be on the court until 2036. It seems too early to think about it now, but when redistricting decisions come down in the early 2030s, who holds this seat may well matter.
