If you take Canadian oil out of the equation, Canada actually has a trade deficit, and the U.S. has a surplus — of $58 billion. We supply cheap oil to the USA to ensure North American energy independence, so North America can never again be held hostage by OPEC countries. #Canada #Trump #cdnpoli

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

You’d think that the agency’s name—“National Nuclear Security Administration”—might have led someone to at least ask, “Hey, what do these guys do?”

Oh.

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!

We have 3 Democratic Candidates that can give us control of the House of Representatives in 2025. I'm putting their info and direct donation links here. Blake Gendebien, Josh Weil, Gay Valimont secure.actblue.com/donate/gende... secure.actblue.com/donate/jweil... secure.actblue.com/donate/gay-v...

According to my CDC sources, the bird flu situation is worsening, with many cases being underreported. Numerous individuals are exhibiting flu-like symptoms, yet the Trump administration has warned that anyone who releases information about the bird flu will be fired.

SCOOP: The US Treasury claimed a DOGE's Marco Elez didn’t have ‘write access,’ when he actually did. Sources tell WIRED that his ability to alter code controlling trillions in federal spending was rescinded, days after officials said it didn't exist.

I can't believe I've lived to see the day when I resonate more with a Chinese dictator than an American one. Trump even sucks at dictatorship. #FuckTrump

Jasmine Crockett, after accusing colleagues of castrating their Constitutional duty, said, “My job is to make sure we don’t have any kings or queens in this country, but it seems like you all have decided it’s going to be Mr. King and his queen. And y’all can pick which one is which.”

Here's how they report on him in the UK, where their free press has a spine.

Brave yourselves for more of the like.

CARTOONS OF THE DAY 🫤 (Cartoonists are rallying around @anntelnaes.bsky.social as she leaves the @washingtonpost.com )

I’d recommend everyone regardless of medical risk bring a mask on your airplane journey, a disinfectant wipe to clean the seat you’re in and hand sanitizer. It’s going to be on you alone to protect your health. Warning signs are everywhere.

We’re in it now, folks. Flu’s on a nationwide tour and the map is looks like it’s been hit with a red highlighter. Epi tip: it’s not too late to get your #flu vaccine.

Costco responded to shareholders requesting that it withdraw from DEI policies. The response was direct and to the point: Costco says, "Our board has considered this proposal and believes that our commitment to an enterprise rooted in respect & inclusion is appropriate & necessary." ❤️COSTCO♥️

While browsing in my local pet shop a man gestured to greet my dog. Two daughters follow and I give them some treats to feed. No verbal communication but pure joy on their part interacting with Shasta. Very sweet family. Wrong color skin, wrong language for half this country. Makes me so damn mad.

Amazon joins meta/facebook in donating $1 million to Trump's coronation.

Don't be one of those other reindeers.

This is definitely a site that elected officials and respectable journalists should patronize.

Money over science.

The North Carolina General Assembly’s GOP supermajority just approved a hugely corrupt power grab, seizing authority from the governor and the courts to prevent any meaningful check on legislative abuses. Authoritarian stuff. A very dark day for democracy in NC. amp.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

Call your Senators. I think most people will agree that supporting terrorists is bad. But who gets to decide what that word means and which organizations are targeted? HR9495 passed the House. The bill is now before the Senate: S 4136. 1/3
