This is a slap in the face to American women. Pete Hegseth has a track record of disrespecting women service members, and multiple credible sexual assault allegations. Our troops deserve better.

Sen. Joni Ernst could've torpedoed Hegseth's nomination for defense secretary. She's a military veteran and survivor of sexual assault. Hegseth was credibly accused of abuse of women, including rape. Joni Ernst's "yes" vote will make women less likely to come forward. She voted for sexual assault.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus on Trump’s claim that Canadians would get better healthcare as the 51st state: This is my health card. I just walk into a hospital, give them my card, and I get free coverage. That’s how health care is delivered here. We don’t have people who pay and people who are denied.

Your daily reminder that Mitch McConnell refusing to vote to convict the orange felon at his impeachment trial or drum up votes to convict him is why we are in this chaos today. He’s one of the most evil beings in US/World history and he should never escape the blame.

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good. Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

A huge congratulations to @robmiyashiro.bsky.social on being sworn in today as an MLA! The Alberta NDP caucus is so fortunate to have you, and the people of Lethbridge-West are in excellent hands with such a committed advocate representing them in the legislature. Couldn’t be happier for you, Rob!

Washington Post has again managed to find anonymous sources saying Russia is not doing bad things in the Baltic Sea. They got the infographic quite wrong, so I fixed it. They also have a named source, within military intel, completely contradicting their headline. Nice work again WaPo.
