Hello, Danger Corps! It’s Sunday, August 23, 2026, and Donald Trump has apparently decided the presidency needs more tariffs, more construction cranes and at least one presidential drag race.
Trump’s 50% tariffs on $20 billion worth of Canadian products have officially kicked off a full-blown trade war, with Prime Minister Mark Carney promising to hit back “dollar for dollar.” Meanwhile, Chief Justice John Roberts has temporarily allowed work to continue on Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom, because nothing says “serving the American people” like demolishing part of their house to build yourself a dance floor. And today, Trump is turning Washington into his own personal Hot Wheels track, kicking off an IndyCar race from inside the presidential limo. Apparently governing was cutting into playtime.
But today’s edition isn’t really about him. It’s about you.
This is our second paid Sunday edition, and we want you to know how much it means that you’re here. You aren’t merely paying for extra memes or bonus material. You’re helping us remain independent, build this strange and beautiful pro-democracy family, and keep laughing when the bastards would prefer we felt hopeless.
You make The Dangerous Ones possible. We love the hell out of you for it. 💙
On a personal note: I visited my old kindergarten school and the house I spent my first 6 years in. When I drove down my old street I didn’t even recognize it at all. In fact we drove past it. Everything looked different. Everything has changed. Ive spent the last week thinking about how time passes. And my heart aches a little. Do you ever have that?
I made this video specifically for you:
