@EdKrassen My whole family has double coverage, but unlike the lazy people who don't want to work to pay for health insurance my wife and I both work and pay for insurance.

BREAKING: The U.S. government will now insure losses up to $40 billion for oil tankers transiting the Strait of Hormuz. But they can’t insure you if you get cancer or have a heart attack. Big oil is more important than your life in Trump’s America. Did you vote for that?

@AmericanEthical It sounds like his budget is just making sure the people who make the right choices in life don't have to work to pay for the people who make poor choices.

BREAKING: Trump’s 2027 budget is out, and it’s a DISASTER for the American people. Here’s what it contains. -Cuts $240 million from the McGovern-Dole Food for Education -Program. -fully eliminates the Job Corps, which provides free education and vocational training for young Americans -A $5 BILLION cut to the National Health Institute, which guts our research into curing deadly diseases -fully eliminates the Food for Peace program -$73 billion cut from housing, education, and climate programs -Cuts the EPA’s budget by HALF -Guts NASA by 23% -Cuts nearly $5 billion from USA -Cuts $354 million from historically Black colleges and universities -Cuts $204.5 million for the Community Development Financial Institutions fund, which stimulates growth in economically disadvantaged communities -Cut $10.7 billion for housing -Cut $8.5 billion for K-12 programs -Cancel $15 billion for clean energy -Cut $2.5 billion for clean drinking water -Eliminate $1.6 billion for youth job training -Cut $3.5 billion from the Labor Department -Eliminate $395 million for senior employment -Eliminate $775 million in food assistance grants -Eliminate the National Endowment for Democracy All to pay for $1.5 TRILLION for the military, including money to build 41 obsolete battleships. This is the most regressive, anti-people, pro-war budget ever proposed. It is a horrifying, deeply evil document that hangs the American people out to dry and funnels all our taxpayer dollars into the pockets of arms dealers and blood profiteers. We cannot allow it to pass.

@cmdibley Don't worry, I only had to pay $3.30 a gallon today in America so we are doing just fine.

Hey Americans on here chiding us in other countries for criticising Trump: he is our business. Petrol in Australia is in short supply & currently costs $2.48 p/l (that’s $9.37 p/gallon.) We didn’t bomb Iran. We are all suffering because of your stupid President.

@Elliott1950 @BlackwoodBrief Its not, it's only 3.29 here.

@BlackwoodBrief Why is gas $9 in the US when they have their own supply

📞Trump (screaming): “Emmanuel! Giorgia! You cowards! Strait of Hormuz closed, gas at $9! Join the war NOW or I pull out of NATO, cut Ukraine aid, let Putin eat you alive!” Macron (cool as ice): “Donald, calm down. NATO isn’t your toy. Send your ships — or negotiate yourself. We’re not fixing America’s mess.” Meloni (explodes, Italian fire): “Shut up, Donald! You come begging Italy to fight YOUR war so your gas drops? America always brags, brags, then leaves Europe to bury the dead! Italy ain’t your maid. Want out of NATO? Go now — let Ukraine rot! But when Russia knocks on New York, don’t cry! Threaten us again? I’ll tell the world you’re just a loudmouth clown — big talk, zero balls. Ciao, buffone!” Line cuts. Trump throws phone. Meloni smirks: “Che idiota!”

@UKinUSA Hopefully ICE detains and deports them.

We are looking forward to welcoming Their Majesties to the United States! 🇬🇧🇺🇸

@RoyalFamily Hopefully ice detains them at the airport and deports them.

🇬🇧🇺🇸 On advice of His Majesty’s Government, and at the invitation of The President of the United States, The King and Queen will undertake a State Visit to the United States of America. Their Majesties’ programme will celebrate the historic connections and the modern bilateral relationship between the UK and the US, marking the 250th anniversary of American Independence. 🇧🇲 The King will continue to Bermuda to undertake His Majesty’s first Royal Visit as Monarch to a British Overseas Territory.

@TrondFrantzen Hopefully ice detains him at the airport.

King Charles is technically the king of Canada. He is about to make an official state visit to the United States. I strongly object to this “reward” to the Trump administration. Charles does not represent my Canada with this visit.

@thekage75 @JasonKauppinen @PeterHRatcliffe Do you actually research before you go on these idiotic rants? This would cause gas prices to go up and some regional blackouts in areas that get about 25% of their electricity from Canada. Just Google what happens in Canada if they cutt off all resources to US.

@CruJones33Rad @JasonKauppinen @PeterHRatcliffe And all we have to do is cut off the electricity, oil, and water that we send you.

Canada must cancel the balance of the F-35 contract and push the Gripen as quickly as possible. The US demands for loyalty to their conquests has become too high a price to pay for arms we might need.

@thekage75 @JasonKauppinen @PeterHRatcliffe All America needs to do to cripple Canada is cut off all access to American servers and cloud services.

@CruJones33Rad @JasonKauppinen @PeterHRatcliffe Good luck with that. Clearly you've learned nothing from Vietnam, Iraq, or Afghanistan.

@thekage75 @JasonKauppinen @PeterHRatcliffe That is what we want, a reason for President Trump to bomb canada. In fact most of us here in America want canada wiped off the map, and in the meantime President Trump needs to sever all ties to canada including trade travel and defense agreements.

@CruJones33Rad @JasonKauppinen @PeterHRatcliffe 1. They need parts from the US *for now* 2. If the US becomes our enemy (which they seem to want to be) we aren't going to honour their patents and say "darn, I guess we can't make these anymore!".

@UnitedCanucks26 And from most of us here in America we want to say thanks. We don't want you here and want President Trump to sever all ties to canada including trade travel and defense agreements.

Who here is not traveling to the USA 🇺🇸 this year? Raise your hand ✋ & retweet. Instead, travel in Canada, visit new provinces, go kayaking 🛶 or boating ⛵️ our beautiful Canadian lakes or explore our scenic trails. 🇨🇦

@thekage75 @JasonKauppinen @PeterHRatcliffe The gripen needs several key US parts including the engine, so Canada would need America's approval to buy them.

@JasonKauppinen @PeterHRatcliffe The F-35 was just hit by an Iranian missile the other day. If they can do it it, so can Russia and China. We might be buying jets for stealth that doesn't work as advertised. You underestimate the Gripen. It has very advanced sensors and jamming technology.

@HeidiOCanada Thank you, from all of us in America we don't want you here and appreciate that you will not be coming. In fact it's time for America and canada to sever all ties including trade travel and defense agreements.

Canadians this morning all in a mad rush to fly to the states.

BREAKING: Federal District Court Judge rules that the Ayatollah must be brought back to life.

@IsraelArmyStan 🇺🇲🇮🇱

Let's do a POLL If you support Israel Choose 🇮🇱 If you support Iran choose 🇮🇷 Let's see how many supporters of Israel?

@furmsies I agree with you that it's time for America and canada to sever all ties including trade travel and defense agreements. We need to start treating each other as enemies and settle any disagreements militarily and not diplomatically.

Maybe Donald Trump shouldn't have started shit with Canada, shouldn't have raped woman and children. Maybe then Canada wouldn't be fucking done with him, and done with anyone who supports him, who fawns over him. And we are fucking done. Clean up your house USA, or GFY. 🖕

@rshereme It was security assurances not legally binding guarantees, and Ukraine signed it because Russia cancelled billions in Ukraine debt.

You want to calculate what Ukraine “costs”? Fine. Let’s calculate what the guarantors of the Budapest Memorandum owe Ukraine. People who complain about “how much the West spends on Ukraine” forget one thing: Ukraine has already paid the highest possible price for promises that were never fulfilled. ⸻ 1. What Ukraine gave up under the Budapest Memorandum Ukraine surrendered the world’s third-largest nuclear arsenal: • 1,900 strategic nuclear warheads • 176 ICBMs • 44 Tu-160 / Tu-95MS strategic bombers • Full launch, storage, and command infrastructure Current value: $2–4 trillion. Yes — trillion. Ukraine traded this arsenal for security guarantees from the US, UK, and Russia. Guarantees that cracked in 2014 and completely collapsed in 2022. ⸻ 2. How much the US has spent on Ukraine In 11 years of war, the total US support amounts to: $80–90 billion. For comparison: Ukraine gave up a nuclear deterrent worth 30–50 times more. ⸻ 3. How US support has been restricted For years, Ukraine was denied critical tools needed for survival: • ATACMS long-range missiles • F-16 fighter jets • Adequate Patriot air-defense systems • Permission to strike inside Russia (only partially allowed in 2024–25) These delays cost thousands of Ukrainian lives and entire cities that could have been saved. ⸻ 4. The real cost of war for Ukraine In 11 years: • 450,000+ killed and wounded • Over 50% of energy infrastructure destroyed • Trillion-dollar economic losses • Factories, investments, and human capital wiped out • A development trajectory comparable to Poland’s — shattered not only by Russian missiles but also by Western hesitation ⸻ 5. So who really owes whom? Ukraine never asked for charity. Ukraine asked its guarantors to honor their own signatures. While the US and UK insisted the Budapest Memorandum “was not binding,” Russia prepared for a full-scale invasion. Today, Ukraine is defending: • NATO’s entire eastern flank • Europe’s energy routes • The Black Sea • The global security system the United States built after WWII Ukraine is presenting the real bill: for cities erased, for millions of lives broken, for decades of development stolen — and for the security guarantees that existed only on paper. And that bill is not for Ukraine to pay. It is for those who promised protection — and failed to deliver it. Author: Yuliya Azizova

@Topps My son did chores around the house so he could buy a team in a break with @BlackGoldSC and scored a shohei ohtani 9/10. He was so excited.

AWESOME HOBBY MOMENT: This young collector in Hoboken, NJ offered to shovel snow at his local card shop in exchange for store credit. The shop owner agreed, and he spent the credit on packs of basketball cards... And he found a Jalen Brunson autograph 🥹 (via Bodega Cards)

@OccupyDemocrats Maybe in the 15 months he's been here he should have learned the language.

BREAKING: Near-blind refugee DIES after border patrol dumps him miles away from home. This story is not just a tragedy. It’s a damning indictment. Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a 56-year-old Rohingya refugee who was nearly blind and spoke no English, was released from custody by U.S. Border Patrol — and dropped off at a Tim Hortons five miles from his home. No ride. No notification to his family. No assistance whatsoever. Days later, he was found dead on a Buffalo street. Shah Alam had fled persecution in Burma and arrived in Buffalo just 15 months ago, seeking safety. Instead, after being arrested last year for carrying a curtain rod he used as a walking stick — and allegedly being Tasered and beaten when he couldn’t follow English commands — he ended up in jail. His family didn’t bail him out for fear he’d be shipped to ICE detention out of state. Eventually, he took a plea deal that allowed him to clear the immigration detainer and avoid ICE detention. But when Border Patrol picked him up after bail, instead of transferring him to a detention center as expected, agents reportedly dropped him at a doughnut shop across town and left him to find his way home. He was nearly blind. He couldn’t speak English. He had no phone. And no one told his family he’d been released. For days, they searched. Police even briefly closed his missing persons case after mistakenly believing he was still in ICE custody. Now homicide detectives are investigating the “circumstances and timeframe” leading to his death. The cause has not yet been released. Advocates for the Rohingya community are devastated. “We never thought anyone would experience anything like this since coming to the United States,” said Imran Fazel, who knows the family. “It doesn’t make me feel safe in a country like this.” Let’s be clear: Shah Alam survived genocide. He survived displacement. He survived fleeing his homeland. But in America — the country that promised refuge — he was allegedly abandoned in the dark. And he never made it home. He leaves behind a wife and two sons. And a haunting question: How does a blind refugee get left on a street corner — and end up dead? Please like and share this tragic story!

@Microinteracti1 Why should President Trump care what Ukraine soldiers do? A lot of them will probably be dead within a year.

🇺🇦 More and more Ukrainian soldiers are now removing the American flag from their gear. The video shows a Ukrainian soldier taking the US flag off his helmet. Pretty sad. Embarrassing for the Trump regime.
