That grocery-industry apologist guy is once again arguing that Canada's hugely profitable grocers are not to blame for the cost of groceries. Sure, they're making millions, but Canada's refusal to cave to American tariffs is the real problem.

It’s instructive to see just how much of a fish out of water Trump was at the G7 with Western allies. In a minority of one on key issues like Ukraine and the ME, Trump refused to sign joint statements and left early. He’s clearly far more comfortable in the company of corrupt despots and autocrats.

Sen. Tammy Duckworth just said on Colbert, "We should all live long enough to develop a disability," & the audience laughed uncomfortably. I can tell you what they were thinking. It was "Not me. That would never happen to me." & the underlying, unacknowlged premise was "b/c I'm better than that."

That unacknowledged premise is the most terrifying part of voir dire. There’s this attitude that being injured and becoming disabled is evidence of a moral failing. It makes going in front of a jury a huge leap of faith.

He's not wrong that a needless and devastating war might end up being VERY popular among U.S. citizens but this is BlueSky, so I hope he's perpared for how viscerally unpopular the message, "Americans love war" is probably going to be. Arguably PARTICULARLY so because it's so obviously true.

In addition to scientific discoveries (eg 99% of new drugs approved from 2010 to 2019), NIH funding drove an estimated $94 billion in new economic activity and supported more than 400,000 jobs in fiscal year 2024 alone, suggesting every $1 million invested generates $2.5 million in economic activity

After ruling the NIH grant terminations illegal, Judge Young ended the hearing with an eye-opening speech. “This represents racial discrimination, and discrimination against America’s LGBTQ community. That's what this is. I would be blind not to call it out. My duty is to call it out. And I do so.”

Dear Mark Carney, thank you for bringing us together in Canada. It's good to be among trusted partners. This week we strengthen G7 unity. Next week we open a new era in our strategic partnership at our 🇪🇺🇨🇦 Summit. With a major step on security and defence cooperation.

Have there been actual attendance estimates for the military parade, other than the White House's made up numbers?

I'm sorry but it's HILARIOUS that so many people are making up laughably untrue rationalizations for why we let Trump attend the G7. The answer is that trying to prevent the POTUS from attending a G7 summit would get us kicked out of the G7. They'd moved it to Tokyo in August, without us, SO FAST!

The Times questioning Zohran’s experience kinda just boils down to ideology & racism but the idea of 33 being too young to hold a major political office is so funny. If he was a CEO of a startup that produced something worse than nothing they’d write a glowing feature on his new bold ideas.

This is one of those poll questions that seems pretty useless. The "Happy" number includes people who were worried the Liberals would get a majority and who are glad they didn't and the "Unhappy" number includes people who were hoping the Liberals would get a majority and who are sad they didn't.
