U.S. Won’t Extend Major Trade Deal with Mexico, Canada
Washington is expected to announce that it will not extend the US-Mexico-Canada free trade agreement, a decision that could upend one of the world’s largest trading blocs.
Mexico City and Ottawa have tried repeatedly to reach an agreement with Washington to prolong the deal, under which $2 trillion is traded annually, but US President Donald Trump said his country didn’t ‘need anything’ its partners had to offer.

The Dam Is Breaking on Democrats Embracing Supreme Court Expansion
This was the week the Supreme Court broke. The cracks were showing for a long time, but after the latest run of mind-blowing rulings – including giving Trump sweeping authority to fire regulators, teeing up the deportation of thousands of people back to war-ravaged countries, and all but obliterating campaign spending rules – the court has completely abandoned its purpose, a commitment above all to the Constitution.
The takeaway here: this is all the proof we need that Supreme Court expansion is beyond necessary. The fact that you have three to four justices (depending on how you read Kavanaugh’s flaccid argument) on the record saying that the Constitution does not apply in the case of upholding birthright citizenship should be a flashing red light to anyone watching.
