Recruiting people to run for office is hard enough. Add in the potential violence they could face? Why would an everyday person say yes? Someone duly elected by their community assassinated at their home is a horrific reality of where we are in 2025. My heart breaks over this story out of MN.

It’s been less than 6 months and we have US troops facing down Americans on American streets and now 2 wars in the Middle East. Are you tired of winning yet?

I want Australia’s Govt to stand up & make a statement about what is happening in the US as much, as I want them to stand up about what Israel is doing in Gaza. Suspend everything - be strong & brave & stand up for what you believe. #AnthonyAlbanese, we voted for you to represent us. How about it?

Senator Padilla was forcibly removed from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference in Los Angeles while attempting to ask a question. Padilla was thrown down and handcuffed. A senator in his own state! (He has since been released.) The Trump regime is out of control.

What happened to Senator Padilla is absolutely DISGUSTING. Point blank, period. This shit is out of control. Another elected official disrespected while doing their job. (1/2)

an ill wind eh? American alcohol exports have dropped like a stone. Wine exports to Canada are down substantially (a staggering 94% decline). Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, Chile, France & Italy imports to Canada are up by double digits.

Jessica: Gavin Newsom is speaking for a majority of Americans. There was a new Quinnipiac poll: Donald Trump -12 approval, -11 on immigration, -16 on deportation. He has taken his best issue and decimated it
