Don't hold back now.

"Golden Era"

“Now is the moment to recognize the scale of the seismic change unfolding, and to find new ways to live in the world that a very different kind of America is beginning to create” www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

It’s more than just a hockey game. Go Canada!

This is absolutely disgusting.

Here in Illinois, ten years ago we saw the consequences of a rampant ideological gutting of government. It genuinely harmed people. Our citizens hated it. Trust me – I was elected based in part on just how much they hated it.

Good turnout in DC. Doing my part in the resistance.

“Lawmakers from Republican-dominated states are now acknowledging what those of us who study the federal budget have pointed out for decades: the same Republican-dominated states that complain bitterly about the government’s tax policies are also the same states that take most federal tax money. “

Oh! I know the answer! It's moral cowardice. apnews.com/article/trum...

This was a pyramid scheme. And guess who was guaranteed to make money?

Here are the 25 institutions that receive the most NIH funding (98% of HHS is NIH). Basically, they're large schools with large hospitals. They receive 50% of all NIH funding. Source: ncses.nsf.gov/surveys/fede... (table 26) (Not going to do a whole thread but thought folks might be interested.)

Besides being just utterly evil, it's just completely indiscriminate - they just want to get rid of as many people as possible. Why you'd almost think destroying the government, rather than making it more "efficient," is the real goal. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

The very definition of evil.

Don't just ask how Musk/Trump actions serve their supposed purposes. Ask how they aid the attempt to seize power paulkrugman.substack.com/p/autogolpe

“We’ve seen this sort of thing happen in evacuations of war zones,” one official said. “I just can’t believe we’re doing it for the flippant kind of political pageantry that this administration seems to be doing it for.” www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

On the German press baron who "calculated that by hollowing out the political center, political consensus would become impossible and the democratic system would collapse" www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

“Elon Musk is carrying out the most destructive part of Trump's agenda—a radical attack on federal workers and their missions. The result? Chaos, corruption, and a government in free fall. The game isn't over, but the stakes couldn't be higher. Read more: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/elon-musk-...

Civil service, explained:

Thank you, George Conway! There are decent Americans, just not Republicans now. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Last year, law enforcement intercepted about 19 kilograms of fentanyl at the US-Canada border. At the southern border, agents seized 9,600 kilograms. The idea that Canada is a major source of drugs is a lie, and this admin is hoping you’re stupid enough to believe it.

Vive le Canada!

Why not?! www.cbc.ca/news/world/c...

"European affairs ministers from France, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Cyprus, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Greece, Romania, Slovenia and Spain asked the commission to deliver on promises to create a dedicated EU body to counter foreign information manipulation and interference"

Thank you, Canada!

Reminder: Canada is our closest ally and our friend 🇺🇸🇨🇦 Tariffs against Canada take affect Tuesday 🇺🇸 Retaliatory Tariffs against the US take affect also on Tuesday 🇨🇦 Lessons will be learned 🍿 #SheShed #MagaMorons

Musk’s allies were granted access to the U.S. Treasury payment system. Treasury stays silent. White House stays silent. Why the secrecy? Time for an explanation and full transparency.

I used to admire the US and there are still decent Americans who didn’t vote for nor support the Orange regime. But now it’s personal!

CBC talking head just said "somebody" listening to PM's call with Premiers 1 agreement across country to hit back harder right away than originally planned This includes Smith in Alta 2 they know it's not about fentanyl ... it's about 51st state 1st ministers still talking #tariffs #canpoli

Lying trash.

A few two-handers on their ankles should do it, eh

Well, it’s a thought

"Emancipation plus deportation. This was the preferred Southern plan. And had been from the very beginning. This is why the Fourteenth Amendment was written the way it was written—why birthright citizenship was the intention." www.thebulwark.com/p/claremont-...

Guess I won’t even bother applying for US citizenship. Glad I’m Canadian.

Go Canada! About time Trudeau grow a backbone.

Trump has issued ‘Camp Auschwitz’ a full and unconditional pardon along with 1,500 others.

The pardons of the rioters are about more than just rewards, it’s a signal to the future. My latest adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/trump-pard...

Trump just pardoned these people. Don’t ever tell me Republicans “back the blue” again.

Yes! Thanks President Biden!

Canada and Greenland sends its best to the Orange regime and all the MAGAs in DC. Hope they freeze their asses off! I’m focusing and celebrating MLK Day. PS temps are in Celsius. I’m Canadian.

People’s March DC. We’re not going back!

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Donald Trump, you’re a disgrace as a human being. While you may have gotten the presidency, you’re still a disgrace. You’re a convicted felon, a pervert, and you treat your allies with disdain while you kiss up to Putin. Anytime, anywhere, Donald—we will take you on.
