So if any 🇺🇸 are reading this, I have to ask...without birthright citizenship, how will *anyone* prove they're a citizen? "My parents were citizens", okay prove *that*. I suspect the actual answer starts with "r" and ends with "acism" but what's the "civil" answer?

Every time I go to the farmer's market during strawberry season I think "man I don't know what's going to be in season besides strawberries" and every time I get to the market I'm like "oooooh, cherries" Anyway I have a lot of fruit now.

One thing that Americans truly don't understand is that other countries have exactly the same right to bomb us as we have to bomb them.

I'm definitely starting to worry that we'll have to protest against Ford the way Americans are currently protesting against Trump. Have you seen Bill 6?

I have written many healthcare stories, but never before have I written about my own health. I decided to do so after learning one of my drugs costs nearly $1,000 a pill and just 25 cents to make.

Some thoughts about the military parade in my hometown of Washington DC today -- specifically, the route. Military parades in DC are quite rare. But when they happen, they have always begun, symbolically and geographically, at the Capitol and moved outward. 1/

A new data analysis finds the National Post quietly modified nearly 200 newswire articles since Oct. 7 to push a pro-Israel narrative. Jason Toney from @cjpme.org breaks down how the paper edited stories to erase Israeli occupation and frame Palestinians as terrorists.

Driving back from Muskoka today, we passed a double-length truck on the 401...a Frito-Lay truck towing two full-sized semi trailers, on the 401 in the afternoon rush. If I ever die on the 401 because someone didn't want to hire a second trucker to haul their corn chips, I'm gonna haunt someone.

In this Ohio diner, it was a tradition: big cup of Folgers, check out the prices of your meme coins, and then up to the old Nolita townhouse to abduct a tourist and threaten him with dismemberment. But now the woke mob wants to take all of that away.

We are democratizing art. No longer will you have to pay someone who owns a data center just to generate pictures. With a pencil and notepad that costs less than a dollar, you too can create Artisanal Imagery.
