An NPR review of new data added to DOGE's "wall of receipts" finds the group quietly changed previous errors, added new ones and still has little verified savings to show for its work.

CorruptCare Scandal simplified (got feedback its too complicated for ABs to understand)🧵 : Surgery: all cases can be done in hospitals, select lower risk cases can be done in for-profit centers Govt: thinks endless workforce, so they can add for-profits and not affect hosp care

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

How Elon Musk planned for DOGE: Our investigation found that he raised the idea in 2023, becoming fixated on gaining insider access to federal systems. By Dec., he chose USDS as a landing place, and future DOGE members began applying for jobs there. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/u...

Trump accusing Zelensky of wanting to start World War III is an admission that Trump wants to start World War III, because every accusation of his is an admission

No more work-from-home, government workers, except for Kash Patel, who will run the FBI from Las Vegas www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Next year, the EU will require cars to have buttons & dials -- not just touchscreens -- to get a top safety rating. This is a great move. Drivers can fiddle with knobs & buttons without taking their eyes off the road, but they can't do that with touchscreens. (Even better: Tesla will hate this)

SCOOP: AHS won't publicly disclose nursing contracts from 2023/24 and 2024/25, so I obtained them through FOIP. Companies with the largest contracts include a multi-national, and a company co-owned by a motivational speaker and self-published author. www.theprogressreport.ca/largest_ahs_...

Kevin O'Leary to @ianhanomansing.bsky.social on Cross Country Checkup, rough quote: "The Canadian dollar has dropped 40% against the US dollar under Trudeau." Fact check: the CAD has dropped 34% from the 2011 peak, but just 4% of that drop happened under Trudeau. The big drop happened under Harper.

If you want to share your concerns with CBC about the “51st state” Cross-country Eff-up, I’m told the emails to use are [email protected] and [email protected] for the ombudsperson and editor in chief respectively

~The St. Albert Gazette has been knocking it out of the park in exposing #UCPCorruption Timeline of how lobbyists with ties to UCP pushed coal policy rewrite The coal industry hired at least 14 UCP insiders to lobby for favourable policy changes www.stalbertgazette.com/local-news/t...

Donald Trump says Canada has no right to exist. I take the threat seriously. With our sovereignty on the table I support a national discussion on next steps. But CBC thinks it would be fun to have an American DJ co-host whether we should exist as a nation. Fuck that @ianhanomansing.bsky.social

If these numbers aren't enough to make EVERY ALBERTAN pause, look them over, and immediately say we need a PUBLIC INQUIRY to understand what's going on here, I don't know what will. Some points to consider a 🧵 : 1/7

A group organizing under the name Hold My Hand Alberta is claiming a major victory today in securing an injunction against several ministerial orders. The orders had exempted several school boards from the normal requirement to provide in-person learning—specifically to students with disabilities.

What an international embarrassment our government of frauds and grifters is.

This is like a bank robber getting to fire the cops and disable the alarms just before he strolls into the bank lobby.

We’re done here. Right?

CBC's Fifth Estate has traced a wide web of anti-LGBT hate working to censor or close down libraries in Canada to a right-wing U.S. movement

What's happening at #USAID is causing so much damage. The great reporters at @science.org explore some of that damage. www.science.org/content/arti...

SCOOP: Danielle Smith's government fired the head of Alberta Health Services two days before she was to meet with the Auditor-General to discuss her internal investigation into procurement contracts and deals for private surgical facilities. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber... #abpoli #ableg

I’m so sick of DEI opponents saying “I believe in meritocracy.” DEI exists 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚 the status quo was never purely merit-based—it favored certain groups due to systemic barriers. DEI helps ensure talent, not privilege, determines outcomes. ⚖️

RFK says fluoride is toxic, but in 2011 Calgary took fluoride out of drinking water, and the number of children receiving IV antibiotics for dental infections at Alberta Children’s Hospital increased by 700% from 2011 to 2018. Calgary is now bringing back fluoride. www.thetimes.com/us/news-toda...

Two pedestrian fatalities in Calgary so far in 2025, and another incident involving a garbage truck driver turning left on green, requiring an 18 year old to have her foot amputated. No word on charges. Left on green while the walk sign is on should be illegal calgaryherald.com/news/local-n...

Danielle Smith and the UCP spent $2 million of your public money to prop up anti-science conspiracy theorists. They were paid millions to peddle misinformation and advocate for regressive dangerous policies. 🧵 www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

The U.S. State Department office that funds the clearance of unexploded munitions around the world has asked humanitarian demining organizations funded by the department to cease operations “effective immediately,” according to a surprise announcement early Saturday.

An unqualified former Fox host, accused in an affidavit of being "abusive" toward his second wife, of being perpetually drunk, and allegedly screaming "Kill all Muslims! Kill all Muslims!" just got confirmed as the US Defense Secretary (!) by a tie-break vote in the Senate.

An Alberta govt task force has recommended the use of COVID-19 vaccines be halted unless more info is provided about risks, as part of a report rife with suggestions that run counter to mainstream scientific consensus. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic... With @alannasmith.bsky.social
