Prime Minister of Canada Mark Carney: "President Trump claims that Canada isn't a real country. He wants to break us so America can own us. We will not let that happen. We're over the shock of the betrayal, but we should never forget the lessons"

every person involved in this needs to be in prison

How is this prediction going so far?

And yet half the country think he's their best choice as CEO of the country?

The Trump administration has deported a 10-year-old girl to Mexico who is a US citizen and is recovering from brain cancer. Her family was on their way to an emergency medical checkup when they were detained.

Keep the streets clean.

This is a start. And, thank you, Steve Liesman. @cnbc.com

What's this gotta say to the guy who used to measure everything by the stock market

Trump keeps spreading lies about Social Security. What he isn't telling you is that he's actively trying to dismantle it — firing thousands of SSA employees and shuttering regional offices. Why? To pave the way for privatization so Wall Street can gamble with our retirement.

But it's sooooo complicated

“A video shared by Tarrio on social media on Saturday showed him following the officers, Michael Fanone, Harry Dunn and Aquilino Gonell, through … a Washington hotel that was hosting the Principles First summit, a conference where one of the officers received a ‘profile in courage’ award.”

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Déjà vu all over again.

I only wish this is how tariffs actually worked but alas it is us who are going to get peed on. 🙄

They are too ignorant to realize...

#TruthHurts like a muthafukka.

Want to know what a federal funding freeze does? It takes money from families that just lost their home in a wildfire. It takes resources away from vets. It leaves 72M Americans without access to healthcare. Trump, Elon, & their billionaire buddies laugh their way to the bank while Americans suffer.

We passed a bill in committee yesterday that felonizes elected officials if they vote against Trump’s immigration policy. Let that sink in. Duly elected officials will go to jail- will have a criminal record- if they do not vote for and support Trump’s policies.

J6 crime alert

“Pharma CEOs dined w/Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago. Billionaires sat in the front row of his inauguration. And, on Day 1, Trump killed a Biden program to guarantee $2 generic drugs for seniors. Trump is making clear who he serves, and it is not the American people.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

All 47 Senate Democrats have signed onto a resolution that condemns Trump's pardons of violent Jan. 6 insurrectionists. The full resolution reads: "Resolved, That the Senate disapproves of any pardons for individuals who were found guilty of assaulting Capitol Police officers."

Oh look, another fun little Nazi coincidink between German Hitler and Orange Hitler.

Does the sweet rush of schadenfreude I feel at learning Trump must move his coronation indoors, denying him the spectacle he craves, make me a bad person? Do I care?

NEW: Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, is said to be stepping down as party leader today.

Does anyone have a contact for Ann ? Would love to discuss with her the possibility of partnering with her to publish her cartoons exclusively on @bluesky

BREAKING: Federal appeals court has rejected Donald Trump's attempt to overturn jury's $5 million verdict for defamation. A different jury, in a separate civil trial, ordered Trump to pay E. Jean Carroll $83 million in damages. @ejeancarroll.bsky.social abcnews.go.com/amp/US/appea...

Can’t really think of a situation in which beating a subdued and semi-conscious person to death isn’t straight up manslaughter. These guys aren’t in custody?

Happy last Monday of 2024. 🥳

BREAKING: A federal appeals court panel just upheld the jury's verdict finding Trump liable for sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll and ordering him to pay $5 million. Trump's request for a new trial is rejected.
