NEWS: DCA is currently on a ground stop and has been temporarily closed “for an event.” Planes set to land at DC’s airport have alerted their passengers. This comes after we at @MeidasTouch reported pilots are filing safety reports due to the lights from Trump’s UFC octagon.

Charlie Angus: It's been amazing since we started the MeidasCanada Network. Nobody ever really noticed anybody from Canada, unless we were Neil Young or Mike Myers. But I think there's a real searching right now as we are in such uncertain times and people are watching Canada and people are listening to what's happening. So the MeidasCanada viewership has developed a strong hold around the world. What we're trying to do is build that conversation — a conversation across borders, across the United States, across Europe, across Asia — about democracy. And Canada, I think right now, plays a role in it in a very significant way.

Carney on Canada-Ireland-European integration: Combined, the population is more than twice that of the US. We have a larger cultural export industry and a more diverse one, a similarly sized GDP. Together we are one of the largest economic, cultural, technological, financial blocs in the world.

Reflecting pool today is looking … a little green

Well that was quick

What a disaster

Jamie Raskin responds to Trump calling for his expulsion: We don’t quite know exactly what triggered him, but it was a rough week for the president in the Judiciary Committee. Maybe he’s got Raskin Derangement Syndrome or something. Bottom line: We’re doing our job. We’re on the front lines of this struggle against corruption and authoritarianism, and we’re not going to be deterred. This is not middle school, where he thinks he can expel someone for questioning his authority.

This is from a MAGA livestream today. The Reflecting Pool is VERY green and VERY disgusting 🤮🤮 Even on the worst days, I never saw it look this bad before.

Hard to believe this is from a guy who inherited $413 million from his father only to declare bankruptcy 6 times before convincing an NBC producer to bail him out by creating a fictional show that he was a successful businessman.

"It is so fucking obvious that it was and continues to be in real time a cover-up. Because if you didn't do anything wrong, Donald Trump, if you didn't commit crimes, Donald Trump, then why are people scrambling to protect your ass?" Katie Phang reacts to the NY Times' bombshell reporting on the Epstein files.

Covering it up like the Epstein Files

Workers are adding a curtain obstructing the view of the removal of Donald Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center

🚨EXCLUSIVE: A commercial airline pilot tells MeidasTouch they filed FAA and NASA safety reports after lighting from Trump’s UFC event at the White House allegedly flooded their cockpit on approach to Reagan National. The pilot called it “10 times worse than any laser illumination event” they’d ever experienced. meidasnews.com/news/white-ho…

EXCLUSIVE: A commercial airline pilot filed safety reports after nearly being blinded by lights from Donald Trump's UFC structure when flying into Washington, D.C.'s Reagan airport. My latest with @MeidasTouch: meidasnews.com/news/white-ho…

Sadly, this is where we are at. How far we have fallen in such a short period of time.

Nehls: Donald Trump is the best thing to happen to this country in a hundred years. He was born a very special baby. I bet the doctors said, “I can tell this is a very special baby.”

Sad that this is what CENTCOM has been reduced to. Shame.

Meiselas: "Hello, Donald. This is Iran calling."

Michael Popok torches the Trump DOJ’s contradictory positions on the ballroom and the UFC event: "We need the ballroom, it's national security" ... Why in the 41 pages filed by the same [DOJ lawyer in both the UFC and ballroom cases] is there not even a footnote acknowledging the security risks at the White House presented by 5,000 people in a mass hoard descending on to the lawn as Donald Trump pimps out the White House for a UFC fight?

Ben Meiselas questions the Trump regime’s account of the downing of a US Apache helicopter: To me, he choreographed the damn plan of what was going to happen.
