The most corrupt "president" in history, Donny Trumpy has made over$1,000,000,000 in one year. So he's getting richer while 90% of us are getting poorer. This should be a major issue, maybe the only issue in the midterms.

Donald Trump is using the Trump family crypto businesses to make himself richer. Any crypto bill must ban Trump and his family from profiting off crypto. Otherwise, Congress is turbocharging corruption.

The release of a mandatory financial disclosure for 2025 shows that the Trump family’s holdings, particularly the president’s crypto businesses, were stunningly lucrative.

High speed rail in Canada is a good investment. It’s the kind of ambitious nation-building that actually makes Canada more resilient etc. No surprise, far-right Pierre Poilievre says he’d cancel it, saying it will go over budget. Spoiler—it will. Just like EVERY car highway does. But he likes those.
