U.S. Congress bill aims to prevent funding of invasion of Canada

Starlink not only belongs to a Nazi sympathizer, it may be subject to arbitrary cutoff if the owner disagrees with your views? What a great way to avoid getting or keeping customers.

Wow.

He operated Silk Road under the name "Dread Pirate Roberts" He used the US Postal system to ship illicit drugs all over the US and world-wide. He also offered "for hire" services.

Make no mistake, this will happen daily until January 20, 2029 ...

What a front cover...

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 30, the number is 100%.

"Ya can’t make this stuff up."

Son: Are we better off now? Dad: Well son, mom & dad have both lost their jobs. Our savings are gone, gas & grocery prices are up. We did, however, save you from drag queen story time. Son: What's that? Dad: A mythical thing they said was happening in your school, which we can't afford anymore.

How hard could it be to find a hot mic moment when Putin calls Trump his useful idiot and celebrates Russia defeating the U.S.?

And the shitstorm intensifies. At this rate, Americans will be going back to the Stone Age soon.

Yet another reason why *no country in the world* should want to be the 51st state

A Public Citizen report obtained exclusively by NPR shows the new administration has halted or tried to dismiss cases or investigations against at least 89 companies in the last month.

Trump is the perfect illustration of why we so desperately need DEI initiatives. His administration so far is what happens when unqualified white men think they have more right to occupy space than anyone who doesn’t look like them. Of course they want DEI gone: they can't compete otherwise.

Soon! Featuring my story Side Gig.

Comparing Trump's petty demand for gratitude from Zelenskyy to the insistence on loyalty of a mob boss is to insult mob bosses. This type of behaviour is more like a weasel in grade school getting revenge on the popular kids because they didn't like his haircut.

Trump is dealing with Canada the way a psychopathic 8-year-old deals with a bug in a jar. Pull the wings off? Maybe. Hmmm: Ok, sure. Here's the thing: Canada isn't just a bug in a jar.

Let’s see, Donald Trump launched his crypto business right before taking office. Melania did the day before the inauguration. Junior launched a new one too. Oh, and of course Eric did.

The person who is gambling with WWIII is the orange-utang. The U.S. lost in Vietnam and Afghanistan, left Iraq in shambles, and the last successful unilateral invasion it carried out was in Panama (population in 1989: 2.4 million). Turning allies into enemies is never good policy.

We know Trump & Elon are corrupt. We’ve learned even more in the past 48 hours: 🚙 Trump’s State Department tried to funnel $400 million to Tesla. 💰 Elon received $38 billion in government contracts, loans, & tax credits. 🛰️ The FAA gave a contract to Elon’s company Starlink, worth billions.

Serious misconduct or disloyalty are grounds for the revocation of Canadian citizenship. Actively pushing for Canada to become the 51st state is a clear example of disloyalty. Buh-bye Elmo: www.akmlaw.ca/canadian-cit....

How about it Canada?

Hey, Canada! Sign the petition to revoke Elon Musk’s Canadian citizenship. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

This hits hard.

The not so friendly skies...

Absolutely one of the crucial stories of the moment. Coristine has been associated with cybercrime groups online, but is now inside CISA with access to internal gov docs and processes for investigations. The fox is inside the hen house.

Requiescat in pace Antonine Maillet. Cette nouvelle m'attriste énormément. Elle a non seulement redoré le blason de la magnifique langue acadienne, elle a, du même coup, encouragé la reconnaissance de tout héritage culturel francophone au pays, y compris chez nous. Du fond du cœur, merci Antonine.

I like that he posted a picture of a print-out of the email.
