Come back to discover Trump wants to rename Lake Ontario to Lake America.
That one of the alleged demands he made that got Canada to walk away was demanding Quebec drop French as their language and only speak English. Think it's a joke but it's not he's now denying it but multipl news outlets confirm their sources said the US demanded it in trade talks https://www.politico.com/news/2026/08/25/trump-canada-quebec-french-01048724
Trump tried to bypass history and name 4 Republicans to the US Post OFfice board of directors, USPS has or as long as anybody can remember had 2 Republicans and 2 Dems, Trump refused and is still attempting to get 4 Republicans confirmed effectively giving himself total control so he can sabotage vote by mail
2 people died of Measles in Pennsylvania, they have effectively brought the measles back.
his grift with Live Nation is now public, the DOJ had been suing Live Nation for years they had a monopoly on ticket sales and the DOJ was seeking to limit or end it. Live Nation then had it's CEO meet with trump and then put multiple allies on with Live Nation including Richard Grennell as a BOD member. He then "worked with them" on tickets for the Kennedy CEnter and in the process got large donations from the company and has apparently now convinced the DOJ to drop the investigation which will cost Americans millions on concert tickets.
Speaking of the Kennedy Center he's now threatening the courts that if they block his "renovations" he will just demolish the Kennedy Center claiming some obscure law allows him to do it if it's a financial issue and of course since he took over, the finances have crashed. the Kennedy family is actively suing him over it.
ONe good thing Norm Eisen says people are overreacting to SCOTUS on the USPS he says it's still completely illegal for USPS to do what Trump wants. He's not saying it isn't a concern the SCOTUS might just go full on fascist and allow Trump to do it but they haven't actually done so yet
