Bizarre terribly perverted Texas former solicitor general !!!!!

RFK Jr. is reportedly going to forbid government scientists from publishing in the world’s most respected medical journals — the Lancet, The New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, etc. It’s going to take decades to repair the damage done by this administration.

The DOGE mindset, perfectly encapsulated in one tweet. Destroy incredible public assets for a short term sugar high that would not come remotely close to ending the national debt

It makes sense that the UCP has taken its own platform off its website. They're not following it anymore, deferring instead to red state Republican playbooks. Book bans are only the most recent in a series of ideas they've adopted to Americanize Alberta. thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

I still remember the pregnant women I cared for in the ICU fighting for their pregnancy and their life. To take away a tool that improves their outcomes isn’t just stupid. It’s cruel.

This isn’t just a suspension of new student visa interviews, it’s also all new interviews for exchange visitors. Many exchange visitors work at summer camps and other similar programs. This could have an immediate impact on many American businesses as well, not just higher ed.

“The King mentioned that when his mother …opened Parliament in 1957, it was … in the midst of the Cold War. The world faces a different threat with democratic pluralism, the rule of law and freedom under assault, he said.” www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/a8e29b0...

Enabling the fanatics and crazies. Thats Smiths aim. MAGA style culture wars to fire people up around her separatist ambitions

So hoping!!

Smith is all in on Florida book bans. Thing is- they target racism, history of Indigenous and black / brown cultures. LGBTQ stories and anything diverse equitable and Canadian!!

The UCP have already started banning kids books. Imagine what Smith'll do if she is forced into creating an independent republic. Burning anything that's anti-Smith.

Ban conservatives, not books.

June 14 would be a good day for coordinated Veteran protests around the country.

This tactic is to whip up public fear and rage - it’s not about children’s well being

Honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. 🇺🇸 #SomberMemorialDay

Amazing fact!!!

Fun fact: PM Carney's brother, Sean Carney, is the COO for Kensington Palace. The PM & the King have known each other for years.

MMR vaccine. Safe. Effective. Saves lives

F--k the New York Times. I just canceled my subscription.

Offices at the Capitol are closed, but their inboxes aren't. Tell Senators right now, no cuts to health care or food assistance--period: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Switching from Trump’s Amazon to the more diverse, equitable, and inclusive Costco is easier than you think. I made the switch. Now everything I need is delivered by Costco right to my door in two hours instead of two days - and without supporting oligarchs!

I had a suicide last night because of this bill and I know of several disabled folks who have the same plans if it passes the senate because they will lose everything. I cannot even send them to the hospital because they will just be released in 72 hours with a 50k bill they cannot pay

This plus his insane rant about trophy wives and yachts - very offensive

Albertans have good reason to be angry: their real wages are down 10%, their minimum wage is frozen, their inflation is worst in Canada, their health care's at risk. None of that was caused by the rest of Canada. My take in today's @TorontoStar: www.thestar.com/business/opi.... #cdnecon

On Xitter, FIRE EVP Nico Perrino noted that by kicking out foreign students from Harvard, Kristi Noem kicked out 80 Israelis.

So hard to witness this but - there is where we are In US in Canada in EU - everywhere All hoping Congress and Senate might provide some balance but nope!

The White House just dropped an executive order significantly shaking up operations at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the government’s nuclear safety regulator widely regarded as the “gold standard” for global nuclear power safety operations. I used to cover NRC closely. Here are some notes🧵

In my worst nightmares the teenagers at DOGE take over the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and, yup, here we are.

OMG
