When the Cincinnati Post shut down, it oddly had an effect on local elections. Fewer people ran for office, voter turnout fell, and incumbents became more likely to win. That's useful context for Trump's choice to ban 3 news orgs from the White House newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/what-econo...

Trump banned three news organizations from the White House last week — and there’s a research literature on exactly where that leads.

More interested in the fact that his first move after betraying Canada and declaring them our enemy was to run to a brutal dictatorship that is Russia's most obvious vassal. This isn't a deal with Belarus, he's talking to Putin again.

Thanks to EU sanctions foreclosing EU ports, the Belarussians have been exporting their potash by sending it via rail mostly to Saint Petersburg, Russia, and then loaded onto ships So if we were to do this, the US would be loading potash from Russian ports www.rferl.org/a/belarus-po...

Instead of tariff-exempt potash from Saskatchewan (the world's biggest supplier, and which has rail-links directly to the US), Trump thinks why don't we just substitute a landlocked Russian-client-state located 4,500 miles from any US farmer

So it would appear that the White House has banned the importation of Crown Royal, Canadian Club, and all other Canadian whiskeys/scotches. Stock up if they're one of your favorite brands, because the U.S. might not get any new supply for the next couple years...
A picture of Canadian Whiskeys from the Wikipedia page "Canadian Whiskey." It shows, left to right, bottles of R&R (Rich & Rare), Pendleton, Seagram's VO Gold, Crown Royal, Wiser's Very Old, Canadian Club, and Black Velvet.

Trump did well with that same group of apolitical people. These are the sort of voters who then see Trump do exactly what he said he’d do (and what leftists tried to warn people about)…and say “this is terrible, this is not what I voted for” because they thought they were voting for “common sense.”

If we lose democracy, then there won't be any such thing as "advocating for the policies you want" anymore. You'll get the policies the dictator wants, and if you say you don't like them his thugs beat you up and send you to the camps.

Poorly maintained conditions for naval personnel is a recipe for disaster. If Trump doesn’t believe this he should ask Putin what happened to the Russian navy in 1905 following its epic journey to reach Asia from the Baltic in time to engage the Imperial Japanese Fleet near Port Arthur.

Reuters: Iran wants fees of 5%-7% of the price of cargo from ships using the strait; Oman wants 3%. "Making fees voluntary, at least nominally, could be a way out of the impasse, although an implied threat of Iranian attacks could mean shippers would be ​unlikely to risk transit without paying."
