Good morning everyone. I wanted to take a quick minute and say thank you for giving me this platform and this voice. We have experienced a wild ride during the first 100 days of the Trump Presidency, and it’s only getting crazier. I’m not going anywhere.

Now, let’s get to the news.
A clean sweep for Liberals in Canada. Prime Minister Mark Carney declared victory in Canada’s federal election early Tuesday, firmly stating that Canada would “never” give in to the United States. His campaign was heavily influenced by constant provocations and aggressive trade tariffs from U.S. President Donald Trump.
In his victory speech, the Liberal leader sharply criticized Trump and called for unity across Canada, vowing to “represent everyone who calls Canada home.”
“For months, I have warned that America covets our land, our resources, our water, our nation itself,” Carney said. “These are not empty threats. President Trump is trying to weaken us to take control. But we will never allow that to happen.”Bruce Fanjoy, the Liberal candidate, has beaten Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre in the Carleton riding. The last time a Conservative leader lost their seat in a federal election was in 1993, when Progressive Conservative leader Kim Campbell was defeated.
Donald Trump is set to hold a rally in Michigan tonight to commemorate the first 100 days of his second term. Since returning to office, Trump has issued a wave of executive orders, pledging to shrink the federal government, intensify immigration enforcement, and pursue a hardline tariff strategy.
Americans are feeling frustrated, disappointed, and increasingly angry with the state of politics, a CNN poll finds. A rising majority believes Trump has worsened the economy, and his approval rating at the 100-day mark is the lowest of any president in at least 70 years, according to the poll.
Amazon plans to start showing customers how much Trump’s tariffs are adding to product prices, according to a source familiar with the move. The company wants to make it clear that it isn’t responsible for the higher costs resulting from the president’s trade war.
Massive protests are scheduled for this week. On Thursday, lawyers plan to peacefully assemble in front of more than 40 courthouses across the United States to reaffirm their oaths — an “unprecedented” step, they say, taken because they can "no longer stand idly by as judicial independence and the rule of law are systematically taken apart," according to a press statement. That same day, more than 800 protests are planned nationally and around the world as part of May Day Strong.
Trump is expected to unveil a new tariff plan for cars that would prevent additional duties from piling onto existing ones — offering significant relief to the struggling auto industry.
Brian Schatz is rapidly building support for his campaign to succeed Dick Durbin as whip, according to sources. Schatz has assembled an internal team, including Senators Rosen, Booker, and Kelly, to help him gather votes. He’s reaching out to colleagues across the board, from newly elected members to senior senators.
