Do you think Letitia James will allow the Cornell 7 to get away with writing essays? Of course not. They’ll be Exhibit A at their criminal trials.

I don't take tips on virtue from a man who used a pic of his stillborn child for a GoFundMe campaign for his children's burial garden named "Lincoln’s Place" when the project was never built, and Ogles repeatedly refused to disclose what happened to the tens of thousands of dollars donated.

Household debt at a record high. Student loan defaults at a record high. Credit card debt at a near record high. Meanwhile, corporate profits are the highest they’ve ever been. CEOs are paid 325x more than their typical workers. U.S. billionaire wealth is up 30% in a year. It's unsustainable.

We will never be trusted again. Reports confirm that U.S. officials approached Quebec directly about reducing tariffs, including on aluminum. Quebec alerted Ottawa, and no separate Quebec-U.S. trade deal resulted.

Wow. It's officially been confirmed: U.S. authorities tried to bypass Ottawa to cut a separate, backdoor trade deal with Quebec for aluminum.
As reported
by CTV News, Quebec Premier Christine Fréchette revealed that a U.S. representative approached provincial officials offering to reduce heavy tariffs, but she "shut the door immediately." Instead of taking the bait, Quebec stood united with the rest of Canada to maintain a common front.
