President Donald Trump signed an executive order Wednesday going after Susman Godfrey, the law firm that represented Dominion Voting Systems in its lawsuit against Fox Corp. for promoting lies after the 2020 election. The firm reached a $787 million settlement against Fox in 2022 and is currently representing Dominion in a defamation case against MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell. The executive order states that Susman Godfrey employees will be barred from accessing federal buildings and stripped of security clearances, and that federal contracts held by the firm’s clients will be cut. The president also wants to investigate the firm for allegedly violating federal employment discrimination law, adding it to a list of 20 top law firms being investigated by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission for possible discrimination in their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. As he signed the order in the Oval Office Wednesday, Trump said that “there were some very bad things that happened with these law firms.” In a statement Wednesday, the firm said “there is no question that we will fight this unconstitutional order,” adding that “we believe in the rule of law, and we take seriously our duty to uphold it. This principle guides us now.”

I'm just waiting for him to start referring to lawyers who've acted against the Trump gang's interests as 'dissidents'.

Completely wrecked Iran and Russia's oil dependant economy at least for a month or two. If I'm right the war should start in the next week or two. And this tariff debacle is only the beginning of Trump's cunning plan?

That's "cunting" plan.

Getting the reference I believe, but it seems more likely to me that if anything he'll add them to the category he's previously reserved for the press: 'Enemies of the People.'

The US defence secretary has floated the idea of the country’s troops returning to Panama to “secure” its strategically vital canal, a suggestion quickly shot down by the Central American country’s government.
Pete Hegseth suggested during a visit to Panama that “by invitation” the US could “revive” military bases or naval air stations and rotate deployments of its troops to an isthmus the US invaded 35 years ago.
Trump orders ideas from Pentagon for ‘unfettered’ access to Panama canal, officials say
He also said his country was seeking free passage through the canal for its navy ships – which Donald Trump had said were “severely overcharged and not treated fairly in any way, shape or form”.
Trump gets to do his favorite thing, Hold Court as various leaders come to him to cut trade deals favorable to him. Everyone but China looks willing to play ball, so I'd say going exactly as planned. Since Trump wants to move manufacturing from China to the US it would have been awkward if they cooperated too much
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.
Um Canada is hardly "playing ball" ....Ontario hit the US with electricity tariff for one day that cost them $300,000 for just that day.
That would be a warning shot.
There is always the nuclear option of cutting oil.
Canada supplies roughly 5.76 million barrels of oil per day, representing about 6% of the world's total production. A significant portion, around 4.16 million barrels per day, is exported, primarily to the United States.
So far the dumpf is sticking to the existing free trade agreement with Canada and Mexico up for renewal next year as long as companies are in compliance with it.
On the travel side Canadians simply are not going to the US.
Can the Americans who want to work in factories please put up your hands?
