HASSAN: Since you testified that Americans don't pay the president's tariffs, will the Treasury reimburse this New Hampshire small business for the tariffs they paid to the government? BESSENT: I think we have to look in the aggregate

vancouver.citynews.ca/2025/06/09/s... So theres an evacuation alert and a state of emergency. But the "risk to the community has not changed." Is it any wonder why the general public has trouble understanding what we are facing?

From coast to coast to coast, nature is part of our identity as Canadians — and that’s why our Liberal team is taking bold action to protect it. Happy #WorldOceansDay, Canada.

In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz. The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.

So much wrong with this…. Let’s start with “what was we ranked?” Inaccurate information from Mrs. WWE in the middle. Rounded out with throwing “total pole” in at the end. Ffs.

For many marine species, all we have is a name. Now, thanks to a huge effort led by @drcraigmc.bsky.social, for 85,000 species we have body size as well. Version 1 of the MOBS database is published today: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... Enjoy! 🌐🧪

Why is the media even talking to Poilievre? Sheer is the current leader of the Opposition. Poilievre isn’t in the House. He’s just yelling outside the window. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Poilievre is fulla shit. Canada doesnt have a debt problem.

Truth from PM Mark Carney… it became very awkward for Poilievre when Canada came under attack from the very people he’d been cozying up to. A little more articulate than my description of “Poilievre is screwed.” 😅

In my interviews, I am encountering so much sadness among scientists. I simply do not understand why cancer biologists, ecologists, virologists, physical chemists, algorithm developers, power systems engineers and many, many others face sudden grant terminations, interrupted careers, firings.
