Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Canadian Prime Minister in D.C. for Trade Talks After Hostile Comments from White House

HeadlineMay 06, 2025

Canada’s newly elected Prime Minister Mark Carney has arrived in Washington, D.C., for talks with President Trump at the White House today. It’s the first face-to-face meeting between Trump and a Canadian leader since Trump imposed steep tariffs on Canada and called for the U.S. to annex it as the “51st state.” Ahead of Carney’s visit, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said he was skeptical of cutting a trade deal with Canada.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick: “They’ve been basically feeding off of us for decades upon decades upon decades. Right? They have their socialist regime, and it’s basically feeding off of America.”
