Given the current President’s love for naming things after living Presidents, perhaps Canada might muse about renaming Lake Erie, Lake Obama, should President Trump follow through with this morning’s provocation about Lake Ontario. Then there would still be a Great “O” Lake!

Let’s all keep in mind: Canada did not force economic integration upon the US. The fusion of the two countries’ auto sectors started the process in the 1960s and was the product of a mutual decision by Ottawa and Washington to create the Auto Pact. The process accelerated in the 1980s and 1990s, involving three presidents, two Republicans and one Democrat, and multiple prime ministers.

Threaded through the second Trump administration’s assault on the Canadian economy and Canadian sovereignty is the fact that President Trump just can’t get over that Prime Minister Mark Carney won’t kiss the ring. From Putin and Kim that behavior earns his respect, from an upstanding, smart, democratic ally it breeds resentment and a desire for revenge. Who’s the nasty one, Mr. President?

With the death of Dolly Parton we have lost one of our world’s greatest producers of joy. Who could listen to her or watch her perform or just hear her talk and not feel their mood brighten? The one consolation on the day we lost her is that we still have her recorded joy to savor, love and share forever. Thank you and RIP Dolly!

“If the vice president is saying this, he is saying something that really indicts our current moment,” @TimNaftali tells @ELaserDavies. “Because what he’s saying is the F.B.I. would not investigate a federal crime in the Trump era if the White House was involved.” nytimes.com/2026/06/26/us/po…

Pulte, who has no national security background and has targeted Trump adversaries, installs a GOP political operative at ODNI, raising concerns that he plans to use the intelligence agencies to promote Trump's election denialism. @julianbarnes @dnvolz nytimes.com/2026/06/26/us/po…

Pure evil. Someone filed a false abuse report to try to separate Buttigieg from his kids. Utterly beyond the pale.
This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious.
Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal. substack.com/home/post/p-203…

As historian @TimNaftali and I discussed on the David Frum Show, Trump's corruption is off the scale of any US precedent. The plundering is more like that seen in a post-Soviet republic or a post-colonial African state. He's not Harding. He's Mobutu. piped.video/watch?v=8UYEaDYu…

The oath is to the Constitution, not to the Commander in Chief.
I took an oath as an officer in the United States Air Force to serve my Commander in Chief. My allegiance to that oath has not wavered in my 28 years of service.
The President has endorsed another candidate in CD1 for Congress. It is not congruent with my assignments in life to actively campaign against a candidate endorsed by my Commander in Chief.
I am grateful President Trump called and spoke with me personally. He was complimentary of my service to this nation and discussed other opportunities to serve within the administration.
Today, I will continue serving this great nation in uniform as a commander in the Oklahoma Air National Guard and serving as the founder and CEO of Folds of Honor.
To every volunteer, donor, and patriot who stood with this campaign, thank you. A special thank you to the veterans that supported and encouraged me. Your belief in this mission meant everything.
Service never stops, and neither will we.

I was honored to receive @TheRoyalFamily King Charles III and Queen Camilla at the @Sept11Memorial today. We met with family members and first responders and laid a wreath in remembrance of those who gave their lives to save others. We will never forget.

This post aged quickly and not well. The Trump-Vance effect was, if any, negative in the Hungarian election.
To our friends in Hungary, we hope you will vote for independent thinking and for someone who stands for Hungary First. We hope you will vote for my father’s friend and ally. One leader in Europe has a direct line to the White House, I hope you will support Viktor Orban! #Hungary

Orbàn has conceded. The Hungarian authoritarian regime has fallen with a whimper. Thank goodness.

A responsible wartime government doesn’t threaten what it won’t do but a responsible American government shouldn’t do what our Commander-in-Chief threatened this morning.

Maybe we'll have a US ground invasion of Central Asia. Or maybe we'll have a US surrender of control of the Persian Gulf to Iran. Could be anything really, all decided by the Magic 8 Ball whims of one man surrounded by insider traders, assuming he isn't one of them himself.
