On Friday, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries spoke at the “Defend The Vote” protest in Washington, but instead of taking issue with the premise that voter suppression is real, MS NOW On The Line guest host Eugene Daniels brought in journalism professor Jason Johnson to claim Democrats need to be tougher against “this kind of extreme white nationalist, authoritarian regime.”
Not the Flex these racists think it is.
“Reindustrialization is a real thing, and no one would argue that’s not a good thing for our countries,” said Glenn Stevens, the chief automotive and innovation officer at the Detroit Regional Chamber. “The issue really for us has been here in Michigan is we want that, and we’ve seen some of that, but we really don’t want that at the expense of a trading partner that we’ve been with for, in the auto industry, almost 125 years together.”
Former CNN anchor Don Lemon said Thursday that leaving corporate media has freed him to say whatever he wants, during an appearance on The Bakari Sellers Show.
Lemon told Sellers he had to break habits formed during his cable news career, describing a reflex to second-guess himself before speaking on air.
The name change was the talk of the docks on both shores of Lake Ontario this week. But neither American nor Canadian sailors seemed to be taking it all that seriously.
“It’s a nonissue for us, other than watching the memes and enjoying the humor,” said Howie Colt, captain and founder of Gone Sailing Adventures, a charter sailing company in Toronto.
Three officials within the U.S. Secret Service’s communications office – including the agency’s top spokesman, Anthony Guglielmi – have been removed from their posts and stripped of their security clearances as investigators examine how classified or sensitive information reached the press, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.
It’s a rowdy U.S.-Canada border war—in bass fishing.
(Yup, bass fishing.)
The “Angler of the Year” competition for the 2026 Bassmaster Elite Series is down to a weekend battle between a 41-year-old Canadian pro and a 21-year-old hotshot from Southern Illinois, playing out in the smallmouth bass paradise of the St. Lawrence River and Lake Ontario.
His name is Ro Khanna, and he’s a Democratic congressman representing California’s 17th district in Silicon Valley. Khanna will likely run for president as a long shot for the party nomination, and as a result, he’s attempting to reach as many voters as possible.
It isn’t just Piker.
When Tom Holder watched Donald Trump become U.S. president for the second time, it was the last straw.
For years, he and his wife would winter in South Carolina, in a villa they rented months in advance. By the time Trump won the U.S. election in 2024, they had already put down deposits for their stays in 2025 and 2026.
“We were besides ourselves,” the Ontario resident described in an interview with CTVNews.ca.
“We could see the way things were going.”
What the Canadians don't seem to realize is that as they point and yell at US, Lutnick, Bessent and others are quietly shifting purchasing patterns, investment opportunities, and distribution channels to counter an impending decrease in trade with Canada.

After casting his vote in South Carolina, a man who introduced himself as Chestnut was unwilling to give his full name. “You don’t have a need to know,” the air force veteran declared. He was, however, happy to share his views.
“I’m a true American. I believe in the USA,” said the man, outside Christ the Servant Lutheran church in Conway. “And I don’t believe in communism or socialism.”
Several hundred thousand South Carolinians took part in a Republican special runoff on Tuesday, selecting the party’s nominee for US Senate after the sudden death of the veteran lawmaker Lindsey Graham. Darline, his sister, prevailed – in a victory for Donald Trump.

Last year, I sat down for a cup of coffee at the Tim Hortons in Caribou, Maine, with Ron Turcotte, the legendary Canadian jockey who rode Secretariat to the Triple Crown in 1973.
Ron lived across the border in Grand Falls, New Brunswick, but he picked up his mail almost every day at the U.S. Post Office in Van Buren, Maine. His life, like so many people who call our border communities home, didn’t fit neatly on one side of an international boundary.
A new Justice Department report reveals that FBI personnel opened investigations into two Catholic priests, conducted surveillance tied to the Richmond Catholic Memo, and continued revising the memo after headquarters ordered it deleted.
The report reveals how an investigation into a violent extremist led to the surveillance of clergy affiliated with traditional Catholicism, though the FBI ultimately concluded the priests posed no national security threat. The report also sheds new light on internal disputes on the reliability of the Southern Poverty Law Center.
“This Department of Justice will not tolerate a weaponized bureaucracy that chills First Amendment activity,” Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement on the report, compiled by the Justice Department’s Weaponization Working Group. He noted that the individuals who developed the Richmond Domain Perspective are no longer at the FBI.

Hours after Trump’s latest tariffs on Canadian wine, dairy, and autos took effect, California’s Democratic Governor and likely presidential contender Gavin Newsom posted on X calling Canada America’s “closest ally.” Then a few days after his initial tweet, Newsom did interviews with CBC and CTV, and on CTV he said something very important for Canadians to take note of. When asked if he would remove all of the tariffs Trump has put in place, he waffled for about a minute before eventually coming to say “I can’t guarantee that, but I can guarantee you nothing like this — the level of disrespect, talking about the 51st state.” In the CTV interview, Newsom even explicitly brings up some of the tariffs from Trump’s first term that Biden then kept in place.
A Russian drone strike on a warehouse near Kyiv late Friday has killed at least 37 people, Ukrainian authorities said.
“Unfortunately, the death toll in the Bucha district has risen to 37,” Kyiv region governor Tymur Tkachenko said in a post on Telegram on Saturday.
Among those killed was Taras Didych, head of the Dmytrivka community, who was one of the first to rush to the scene to rescue people, Tkachenko earlier said.

The flareup in the Canada-U.S. tariff war has not only strengthened Ottawa’s resolve to boost military co-operation with Europe and Asia — it’s also hurting prospects of major military purchases from the United States.
In an interview, the head of the Defence Investment Agency says the Canadian public would have no appetite for sole-source military contracts to American firms.
