Monday, October 27th, 2025 - Trump ends Canada talks, slaps new tariffs; Don Jr.’s drone deal; Inflation climbs; DOJ eyes polls; Billionaire “pays” troops
Today’s Headlines: Trump abruptly ended trade talks with Canada and tacked on another 10% tariff after learning about a Canadian ad that used Reagan audio to mock his trade policy. Don Jr., meanwhile, invested in a startup building drone-packed mini aircraft carriers that somehow already snagged a Pentagon contract. An appeals court upheld E. Jean Carroll’s $83 million defamation win against Trump, and new inflation numbers show prices up 3% year-over-year — beef alone up 15%. The Justice Department will monitor polling sites in six counties in California and New Jersey as part of Trump’s broader push to tighten control over elections, while Steve Bannon floated a “plan” for Trump to run for a third term. The government remains shut down, with billionaire Timothy Mellon donating $130 million to “pay the troops” — roughly $100 per service member. In Congress, two GOP reps called for investigating Rep. Zohran Mamdani’s citizenship, Eleanor Holmes Norton was scammed out of $4,000 by fake cleaners, Illinois police confirmed an antisemitic gel-blaster attack on Jewish kids, and two suspects were caught after trying to flee with the stolen Louvre crown jewels.
