At the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, the U.S. beat Canada 2-1 in overtime in the women's gold medal game with Megan Keller's winner after Hilary Knight's late tie, then Jack Hughes sealed a men's 2-1 thriller for America's first Olympic men's hockey gold since 1980. These losses followed Edmonton's Oilers falling 5-1 in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final to the Florida Panthers, Toronto Blue Jays dropping a 5-4 Game 7 World Series extras decision to the L.A. Dodgers, and no Canadian team in Super Bowl LX where Seattle's Seahawks topped New England's Patriots 29-13. Fans traded savage memes like a ripped Canadian flag listing the defeats, quips about immigration and curling, with Canadians firing back about the Grey Cup and starting drinks at 6 a.m., while Connor McDavid took men's tourney MVP as a silver lining.

In a letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Attorney General Pam Bondi dated Tuesday, Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren and Jack Reed requested an investigation by December 1 into World Liberty Financial's compliance with anti-money laundering rules, sanctions, and governance.

DT Marks DEFI LLC, controlled by Donald Trump and his family, holds 22.5 billion tokens and receives 75% of sales revenue, while the project lists Trump family members in prominent roles; World Liberty Financial maintains it has robust compliance measures with no evidence of wrongdoing.
