A good article from the Globe and Mail! Mark Carney is preferred by Canadians 🇨🇦 and is tailor-made for the times while Pierre Poilievre is not and has spent much of his time as Opposition Leader running down the country. #MarkCarney4PM #NeverPierrePoilievre #USDemocracy apple.news/APzthe-NvT-G...

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

Every reporter today should be asking every Congressional Republican why they're OK siding with Putin and walking away from NATO and democracy.

Musk/Trump/NYT is going to call firing IRS agents savings, but the lost revenue will be many times their salaries: this all about making it easier for rich people to cheat on their taxes.

Wonder what Sen. Mike Lee and all the ‘constitutional conservatives’ and ‘limited government’ Republicans make of the GOP president calling himself a “king.” 🤷🏽‍♂️

Chantal Hebert is imho the most trustworthy journalist of Canadian politics. She has the intellectual capacity, the institutional memory, the personal integrity, and the journalistic ethics to be consistently credible. "Poilievre: someone who will lie whenever it suits his purpose" #CDNpoli 🇨🇦

Trump just blamed Ukraine outright for Russia’s invasion. ‘You shoulda never started it,’ he said. What a lie, a Russian lie—from the President of the US.

What'd be more helpful, #BrokenPost, would be a guide to the labels media are avoiding--coup, authoritarianism, totalitarianism, fascism--and adjectives of their coverage, starting with credulity & complicity. A guide to the Trump administration lexicon www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I am so sick of hearing any Democrat saying they are willing to be “bipartisan” or “reach across the aisle.” Just stop that stupidity. If these fascists want to work with you let them come. Stop acting weak.

👋👋 Since there’s a lot of talk from Trump about how “Europe has not really carried its weight in terms of the money” for Ukraine, let’s just share some facts. Right from the beginning, Europe has provided more* aid to Ukraine than the United States* 1/2

THIS 👇 is never talked about in MSM. Why? Mostly US, Conservative-leaning owned. IDU is a threat to the world as we know it and 99% of Canadians don’t know it exists.

Just as it did during the rise of the Nazis a century ago, the New York Times is twisting itself in knots to avoid calling fascists fascists. Germany’s AfD is not a “party that downplays Nazis.” It’s a neo-Nazi party.

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.

Every single article about Trump being “elected” Chair of the Kennedy Center must mention in the headline that Trump fired all the Board members that wouldn’t vote for him. “Made Chair” is such weak, passive language that fails to call out what’s really going on. Our media must do better.
