Canadian Voter: I think who I voted for would be the best to take care of Trump, because Trump is, I’m sorry to say, an asshole.

Joe Biden has congratulated Mark Carney. #cdnpoli #elbowsup

Canadian Brit Hume has entered the chat

Looking close in Maricopa County, British Columbia!

69420 because he's a child and he did about what you'd expect when you ask a child to reform government. He made it a mess and more expensive because of his destruction.

To be fair, me neither

Forgive the earnest post here, but one year ago this week, Global Tetrahedron took over The Onion. We've since brought back the paper and ONN, dramatically increased revenue, and hired more writers and artists. But most importantly, as other places debased themselves, we refused to bend the knee.

Our loss will be Canada’s gain. 🤡 #EmptyShelves

Time to stop calling these charades "White House press briefing" and call them what they are: propaganda sessions.

Pritzker: Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research…

From this, it looks like, despite what WH says, "a vast majority" of the Eagles didn't come. Maybe just about half give or take. They had to fill the risers with non-players (which is fine, they're part of the org). But does look like most players chose not to attend. No Hurts, Brown, D. Smith...

My man! 6abc.com/post/eagles-...

Peak Canada

Yesterday I joined union members, veterans and advocates to say loudly we won’t stand by and allow Donald Trump and Elon Musk to slash 80,000 jobs at the VA.

in New Hampshire, JB Pritzker hits the "simpering timidity" of many Dems: “Fellow Democrats, for far too long we’ve been guilty of listening to a bunch of do-nothing political types who would tell us that America’s house is not on fire,even as the flames are licking their faces"

Pritzker calls for mass protests and disruption - “Republicans cannot know a moment of peace,” he says, swaying their portraits will one day be put in museums “reserved for tyrants and traitors”

Old enough to remember when pandemic supply chain issues hit this port hard and it was said to be the collapse of the entire economy and Biden's fault.

I honestly don't know who the audience is, other than insiders and gossipers, for the Atlantic piece/interview with Trump. All that time talking to him (even on his personal cell) and that's the end result of the story?

"I assume they bought magic beans and will grow new inventory with them." Might as well just say that.

Breaking: Rep. Gerry Connolly announces that he is not running for re-election and will step down as ranking member of the Oversight Committee.

If you're looking for a leaderboard of Dems doing all the right things to win a primary AND establish themselves as steel-spined for a general election, I put Pritzker up there with Secretary Mayor Pete and lately Sen Booker. AOC and Sen Murphy up there too. Newsom cratering. Other Govs been quiet.

Wait what? Beyond what Fallows says here, Social Security has been made an issue for DECADES. That's why it's called the "third rail," because it is an instant issue as soon as it's touched. Christ almighty.

The out-of-touch elitism from Trump is stunning and begging for @democrats.org focus: -Tariffs causing layoffs, price surges -Trump is designing a new ballroom for the White House -Disease spreading like wildfire, killing kids -Trump is obsessing over adding gold leaf decorations in the Oval 1/

WSMV: “400+ workers losing their jobs after automotive manufacturer Adient announced permanent closure of 2 facilities in Tennessee— in Maury & Henderson Counties...” The CEO had said tariffs would be a problem. We’ve asked if they impacted this decision. www.wsmv.com/2025/04/27/o...

Re: Respecting the office not the man. It's all about how much you'll look past. I sincerely doubt if Trump was rounding up black men or Jews, many innocent, and sending them to foreign prisons w/o due process that some folks would hang with him. So it's all about what you're willing to ignore.

Our nation is loaded with complete morons and they assumed power.

Tinpot dictator stuff.

if you're out there really feeling like you did a bad job on the presidential mental decline beat last year I have some good news for you, that beat is still very much a going concern, let's see some dogged reporting guys!

Because the service was longer than 8 minutes and there were no drawings, cartoons or maps for him to draw on. I have the same issue with my 5-year old.

Casual reminder that the country fucking hates this shit.

Stoned AF, he was.

Endorse

He’s a disgrace.

If you support the deportation of children with cancer and the vilification of immigrants and you believe that the New Testament is the Word of God, get ready to fry in hell.

Trump: hey did we deport some kids with cancer? Aide: yes sir Trump: cool welp off to the pope’s funeral

Showing up dressed like this? Did he even say thank you?

Macron may be religious and may be not, but probably best to not take a chance that you shook the hand of the Devil inside the Vatican.
