How it started vs how its going. This is an excellent development from Ottawa. Canada needs to lead in drone manufacturing in North America and starting a joint defense production industry with Ukraine is an excellent first step to making that happen. #cdnpoli #StandWithCanada

The United States is a nation beyond the rule of law. People are being kidnapped on the streets by men in masks. They are being disappeared and deported to foreign concentration camps. A Canadian died in their hands. We must demand full access and independent investigation of his mistreatment.

Trump set U.S. tariff policies to make every other company’s smartphones more expensive, and then announced a cheap smartphone to compete with those companies he’s regulating — and it won’t even be made in the USA. That’s corruption.

It’s not just that Zohran Mamdani beat Andrew Cuomo. It’s that he and the voters beat an entire transnational criminal syndicate of power brokers who have had a stranglehold on NYC politics for a very long time. And they’ll be coming after him hard. He’ll need a lot of support—and protection.

For-profit insurance companies like UnitedHealthcare are defrauding taxpayers out of $80 billion a year. HHS Secretary Kennedy claims he wants to "clean up corruption" while he is doubling taxpayer dollars to these companies. That sounds like the real "waste, fraud, and abuse."

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

Whenever I see stuff like this, I remember the Infrastructure Act and how Biden disproportionately invested in red states and when asked why, he said “Because they need it the most.” So no, don’t forget what Biden did. He governed for everyone, even the ones who’d never thank him
