Democracy flourishes when public healthcare and education thrive. People who trust in the protection of human rights are free to build a great economy. An honest, vigilant, and courageous media is the bedrock. Dogs, especially whippets, rule.

BREAKING: 1AM isn’t an accident. Rep. Jim McGovern sees through it. This is the GOP pulling the plug on Medicaid, cutting off food assistance, and abandoning rural hospitals—while praying the public is asleep. It’s not a hearing. It’s a hit job.

They have literally sucked what little joy that was left in America.

Who writes these episodes?

So much for Poilievre's fiscal prowess. All talk, no substance. 'Common sense' Canadians 'brought it home' for Carney. #Cdnpoli #ElbowsUp

We’re living through Trump’s conversion of the presidency into a global business operation—one in which family enrichment drives national policy. Foreign influence. Secret deals. Cryptocurrency grifts. Worse than just corruption, this is a blueprint for authoritarian kleptocracy.

I find this notion (here expressed by Margaret Sullivan) so strange. I knew what would happen if Trump were re-elected. I knew about Project 2025, his thirst for retribution, his obsession with tariffs, etc. Sullivan did too. I knew it all from reading/watching the MSM. How did she?

And there it is…👇 BOOM. 💥 Gotta love Pete! 😎🌈✨

Wow. Make this make sense.

Are there any legal consequences for Ford or do we just have to wait four very long years?

CBS has an odd way of saying “the majority.” The comment is spot on btw. We are not the “best” as anything… not even close.

Truly shameful

PASS IT ON……….

Remember, when you vote CONservative the last two things you'll get are balanced budgets and services for constituents. Vote splitting will keep Ford in office for another decade! www.nationalobserver.com/2025/05/15/n...

Duckworth: "He's accepting a bribe, which is unconstitutional and illegal. And he's gonna accept an aircraft that then is gonna cost taxpayers another billion dollars at a time when he wants to cut funding for Medicaid. It's simple unacceptable."

“A lack of critical thinking skills may also explain why Conservatives are significantly more likely to believe disinformation and vote against their own self-interest.”

UCP Justice Minister Mickey Amery is a friend and relative of a key figure in the #CorruptCare scandal, yet he continues to oversee the investigation. This isn’t an investigation; it’s a cover-up. 👉 Demand action: fireamery.ca #ableg #abpoli

Huge conflict of interest!

Canada is such a majestic country. Please don't spend your vacation dollars south of the border. Become a tourist in your own magnificent land (or any land other than the US). My east coast island home routinely makes global lists of the most spectacular islands on earth. #supportcanada

Aaaand there it is.

The baseless firing of the Librarian of Congress and illegitimate removal of the Copyright Office Director is an assault on Congressional authority and independence. I've asked the Library of Congress Inspector General to investigate potential improper access to confidential congressional data.

Alberta NDP is pulling no punches and I love it. Danielle Smith is a separatist. She wants Alberta to leave Canada because she simply doesn’t believe in what it means to be Canadian. She is not interested in moving Alberta forward. She only works to tear us and our country apart #Canada #Alberta

Canadians differ from Americans. A group of wealthy Canadians calling themselves "Patriotic Millionaires" is banding together to lobby governments to increase the amount of taxes they themselves must pay.🇨🇦 www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

I just really need everybody to understand that everything that’s happening in and to the global economy now (and all the businesses and people in it) is the entirely predictable result of the intentional decisions of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.

the mobile command center for the U.S. government and armed forces in case of an extreme exigency will henceforth be a decommissioned jet liner personally “gifted” to the president by the royal family of an authoritarian monarchy that relies on fossil fuel exports for its wealth. BUT HER EMAILS.

Absolutely true. Who is worse than Trump? The cowardly GOP senators who refuse to hold him accountable.

U.S. has worse wealth distribution than pre-revolutionary France did.

THIS SHOULD BE IN THE N R A LOBBY #HappinessIsAWarmGun

This story is not nearly big enough.

Very encouraging to see this letter to the editor published by the Lethbridge Herald. An Albertan’s surgical dissection of that recent speech by the Queen of Stupid Danielle Smith. 🍁👍🏻🍁 lethbridgeherald.com/commentary/l...

This is very serious and consistent with the Conservatives since Harper - denigrating Elections Canada because they are our firewall against easy election tampering. I hope Canadians will see this as more US style cheating. It has to stop.

Canadian exports to the US plunged 6.6%, the biggest drop since the Covid-19 pandemic, while imports fell 2.9%, Statistics Canada data showed Tuesday Exports to countries other than the US jumped 24.8%, however, almost entirely offsetting the decline in outbound shipments to US. #canadaunited
