Trump’s buying a gold-plated throne to sit on while he rules over the swamp and proclaims himself king. A taxpayer-funded revenge fund. Protection for his allies. Payouts for insurrectionists. And a permanent escape hatch from IRS audits on his personal money-making schemes.

Will America recover from the Trump years? Honestly, I don’t know. I don’t know if we get back to the country our founders imagined. But if we do, it won’t come from politicians saving us. It will come from people rising up, speaking out, and refusing to surrender democracy.

A corrupt sociopath sits in the White House because the Republican Party wanted power more than democracy. Trump voters made the deal. Republican leaders signed off on it. Now the country is paying for it.

MAGA, you’ve trained poor little helpless Donald Trump to play the victim.

We didn’t make him pay. On November 3, 2026, we will.

Thoughts? Section 230 should protect platforms from being sued for every user post. But when Meta’s own algorithms push content people didn’t ask for, amplify harm, and turn outrage into profit, that’s not neutral hosting. That’s platform conduct — and it should face accountability.

Every Tuesday: a libertarian and a socialist walk into a conversation. I’ll be chatting with Xander Schultz — socialist, impact investor, social entrepreneur, and activist — to see where we clash, where we agree, and whether common ground is still possible. Here: substack.com/@socialcontr...

$250M. $300M. $400M. “All paid for by donors.” Trump’s lying isn’t a character flaw. It’s the business model. Now Republicans want $1B for his ballroom and are calling it “updated security.” Even if you believe that, taxpayers are still footing the bill for his golden ego facade.

The Republican Party may not even have a real presidential primary in 2028 - Just one or two MAGA candidates, and no serious alternative to Trumpism. As conservative columnist Quin Hillyer put it: If that happens, “we’re doomed for the next number of years.”

Dementia Donnie thinks yelling “LOOK! EXTRA-TORRENTIALS!” will stop people talking about Epstein, Iran, gas prices, food prices, and everything else he’s screwed up.

We are cleaning up the e-bike mess. 🧹 Hundreds of people have written to me about dockless e-bikes clogging pavements. Badly parked e-bikes like these are a real nuisance for pedestrians and cyclists, and for people with disabilities or additional mobility needs, they can block homes and streets.

Happy Earth Day, Spadina–Harbourfront! I hope you all have the chance to get outside and enjoy the incredible nature our riding has to offer, from our magnificent waterfront, to the islands, and the many parks in between. #cdnpoli #MPChiNguyen #SpadinaHarbourfront
