Justin Trudeau gave the exact kind of press conference today that we have been waiting for from our Democratic leaders. Watch it and learn from it. No gimmicks, no stunts, no script, no platitudes, no slogans, no games. Just straight talk, honesty, sincerity and facts.

You can’t overstate the historic importance of today’s speech to both American and Canadian citizens by Canada’s Prime Minister. Please watch it and share it wherever you live, but especially if you’re in the United States. You need to know what Trump is doing, and why. youtu.be/wz_42pckM7w

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Taking a page from the Tesla protests, people need to show up to Andrew Cuomo’s events and yell about his sexual harassment, corruption and more. Without that, low-information voters are only going to hear from the Post and local TV news something like, “Cuomo strong.”

It occurs to me that not everyone knows how to get to Sugarbush, the ski resort JD Vance is visiting. It’s a great mountain, but even if you don’t ski, it’s a beautiful drive to get there, especially on a clear day like tomorrow. You can get directions here. You’re welcome!

There is no good reason for the President to control the United States Postal Office. There are many, many ways that Donald Trump could abuse his control over it, including messing with vote-by-mail and interfering with mail of abortion meds. CALL YOUR REPS AND SENATORS AND TELL THEM "HANDS OFF!"

How Hitler seized power: 1. Create a crisis. 2. Demonize opponents. 3. Declare a state of emergency. 4. Undermine elections. 5. Make the rule of law irrelevant. 6. Rule by decree. If America falls it will be because of the people who didn’t pay attention.
