100 days of firehose chaos from MAGA Republicans. What is the response from the Democrats? Lots of disparate shadow boxing. Who leads this bunch? Where is the leadership? Look to the field, not DC.

Why should Carney talk to Trump? There is not much upside. If he initiates the request, Trump has the pleasure of ignoring and belittling him. He can say he doesn’t speak to lame ducks. Or he accepts and insults him. Either way, it’s a hit to the PM image Carney has well crafted so far. Ignore him.

plus.lapresse.ca/screens/1da8... Excellente analyse de l’affaire Brookfield dans La Presse. Journet voit juste, les réponses de Carney ont une certaine arrogance qu’il ferait mieux de corriger.

Bombing and killing more than 400 men, women and children in their sleep is not a glorious military action. It’s a cowardly and monstrous massacre.

Yale, Vance’s alma mater, has barred a Palestinian scholar on the basis of one -one- article partially powered by AI. The article accuses her of being part being a member of a pro Palestinian group deemed a terror group by the current administration. Yale is caving to MAGA more than ever. Shame!

So far under Trump US stock markets have gained 1% compared to 10-15% in Europe and China. The only spectacular economic growth in America to date has been the price of eggs. Tell me again how great he is on the economy.

Yves Boisvert, La Presse « Ce qu’on voit s’installer, c’est une présidence utilisant sans gêne la justice criminelle à ses fins politiques. Soit pour menacer, soit pour punir, soit pour récompenser. Ce qui est évidemment un détournement de la justice. Et un acte criminel. »
