Canadian MP Charlie Angus: I think what we're going to see is the conservative numbers in Canada drop because people are looking at the destruction that Trump is unleashing and Canadians are thinking, 'If this is what MAGA looks like, there's no damn way we're going to vote for it in Canada.'

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

Make a huge mistake. Then make a false claim about how you fixed it. They did it for PEPFAR. Now Ebola. I follow this particular topic VERY closely, so here's what really happened and why this isn't true AT ALL...🧵

The Elon Musk backed pro-Russian candidate in Romania, Calin Georgescu has been arrested. Authorities raided him like the crook he is and found at least $10 million in cash and tickets to Moscow. He may have also bumped his head a little bit too.

Ha! It looks to me as if UKRAINE has managed to kick Trump’s bullying arse whilst offering a figleaf (a framework contract - no revenue changing hands) to save his orange face

Notice how these cats are already talking about it as a done deal. There’s no “attempted,” no “sought to,” no “whether the press corps will comply is unclear” in the social copy.

Total cumulative Free Cash flow since Tesla went public is $12 billion and total net income is $34 bln. Both of those will become negative because car making is an awful business and Tesla is poorly run Musk has cashed out at least $60 billion already and has another $200+ in equity. Fake wealth

A Trump official basically proposing the US to use Five Eyes, an intelligence sharing arrangement, as a tool of coercion against allies and in this case Canada. Are the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand next?? www.ft.com/content/2dfa...

(1/X) I've done some posts about the narcissistic sociopath I work with and how dealing with him has influenced how I see Trump. Now I'd like to do something about how it has influenced how i see the people who enable Trump. It's what I call the "shitty people problem"....

The Proud Boys were the face of political violence in America during Trump's first term. Yesterday he rewarded them for it. Trump's pardons were a message to his followers: No consequences for political violence, so long as it's carried out in my name. My latest: www.huffpost.com/entry/proud-...

“Only, in six days, Trump’s possession and dissemination of top secret documents will be very legal and very cool. Which doesn’t make this any less dangerous. One thing we can say for sure: The espionage will continue. When you’re the President, you see, they just let you do it.”

Canadian MP Charlie Angus on California: We have fire crews in the danger zones. The Canadian military is now on full alert to help. That’s what we do—we help our neighbors in times of crisis. The fact that Trump isn’t there.. is shocking but this is what criminal grifters do.

What is Justin Trudeau’s legacy on climate? - Transformative climate policies. This is the fed govt that finally moved from announcing targets and plans to actually adopting policies - Achilles heel on oil and gas. - The legacy is fragile but is that Trudeau or Canada? Bear with me for a long 🧵.
