My takeaway from this: He is so fucked.

Congratulations to Mark Carney and the Liberal Party on their election victory. The bond between Europe and Canada is strong — and growing stronger.

Americans don't really know what's going to hit them, do they? Now the boats have stopped the entire country will grind to a halt Silver lining: the worm that is the GOP might finally turn on him

I must say this is hilarious. "With 14 months remaining before the United States’ 250th birthday on July 4, 2026...with the trade war causing U.S. orders to dry up, Chinese fireworks factories have begun shutting down..."

There was a flurry of news about tariffs. It passed. The real consequences will hit US consumers around Memorial Day. Important then to remind everyone of cause and effect.

The liberals in Canada were dead in the water until Trump came along, energized an entire nation against him, and voila.

Do people realize how much of our medical supplies come from China? The US depends on China for 80 percent of its active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), the chemical compounds medications are made from. And don’t get me started on medical equipment … aje.io/grsnyo

That summarizes. youtu.be/avEtMcELaPU?...

Today's stock market crash was the worst since the Spring of 2020. Can you guess who was president during *both* crashes? I bet you can!

Our former ally, USA, placed no tariffs on Russian exports to their country. USA has walked away from our alliance. We are now free to alter our defence and trade policies and to seek more faithful and honest allies. #AusPol

What is more morally urgent that stopping the slaughter of men women and children being bombed and starved to death in an open air prison with no where to escape? Funded totally by us tax payers ? It doesn’t make the first 25 hour morality list? expect human beings to swallow this garbage ?

Remember all the politicians, pundits, anchors, law firms, billionaires, and corporations that voluntarily bent the knee to Trump and threw America under the bus. They made a selfish choice, thinking Trump and MAGA would be in power for years. Well, the regime is cracking and people are waking up.

PUT THIS ON BLAST: Trump’s tariffs just pushed the risk of a U.S. and global recession this year up to 60%—up from 40%, according to J.P. Morgan. THATS NOT ALL: The White House made up the numbers—Trump Math 🤡

Disgusting, even for Trump.

Sanders: I'm not a mathematician but I do know that 99% is a hell of a lot bigger number than 1%. I do know that if we stand together, we are the vast majority of people. We can defeat trumpism

We are sending people for indefinite detention without trial at a foreign gulag because they have tattoos about soccer teams and about loving their mothers.

AOC: If you are an LGBTQ kid or family, we cannot throw you under the bus in order to win an election. In this house, we stand together

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

Donald Trump is a clear and present danger to the world.

Schumer’s decision is an unconscionable surrender that shows he does not have what it takes to meet this moment, and the charade he pulled yesterday makes it even worse. Time for new leadership in the Democratic Party.

Wow. Rep. Chuck Edwards is getting torn apart at a town hall in Asheville, NC. “I’m a veteran & you don’t give a fuck about me. You don’t get to do this to us!” Edwards orders veteran to be thrown out. We’re approaching a tipping point now. Anger across the country is going to boil over soon.

Meiselas: That’s our message to you from the MeidasTouch Network: Grow a spine. Vote against cloture. Vote against the CR. The American people are with you. Stop this hostile government takeover. Fight for the people.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

*sitting down* damn, Dictionary got hands

This is not normal. We are seeing America breaking apart at the seams.

The FAA approved another launch before the last crash investigation was completed — and it ended in another disaster. Why is SpaceX getting a free pass from DOGE cuts? 🤔

The Supreme Court decision should have been 9-0. The fact it was 5-4 reveals how utterly compromised the bench is in favor of right-wing authoritarianism.

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

The Iowa GOP advanced a bill making it a misdemeanor for a healthcare provider to administer a Covid vaccine. Even when a person has requested a Covid vaccine.

Sick of op-eds on US relations with the rest of the world etc. etc ... so going with Haiku: The land of the free Rotting underneath the great Annoying orange

After all the Red Carpets, the ceremony itself, the after party & the after-after parties, nothing compares to the warm welcome upon my return home. 🐕 🐶 🐾 #Oscars2025

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Oh, look at that ...

Watch as Labor gets more scrutiny over $8.5b for health than Dutton gets over his $600b nuclear fiasco. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

If we have enough people with the knowledge and moral fortitude of Maine Governor Janet Mills, and the Associated Press- we might be able to save our Democracy

There’s something happening in this country.

Anyone else see that Cybertruck stuck in the snow while the Honda Fit drives right past it? Pretty much sums up America vs rest of the world.
