Mark Carney wins the Liberal leadership race with 85.9%!

Nebraska is going to get crushed between Tariffs and Medicaid cuts. They have to balance their state budget and it looks like at least a 200m shortfall this year. BEFORE tariff impacts. And Nebraska Republicans here ! Curious what you think www.1011now.com/2025/03/05/t...

FUN FACT.

Senator Tim Kaine: "Trump has fired more veterans than any president in the history of the United States."

I encourage all to read this book, as it answers how “regular” folks can be gaslit and brainwashed into becoming torturers and killers of their neighbors, friends, etc. for no reason other than bigotry, fear, and hate. A true cautionary tale for our times…

America is, currently, the bad guys

A 5.1 earthquake just rocked the Pacific Northwest! #earthquake #PacificNorthwest

Oh Canada! Hockey still reigns supreme in Canada! But does this mean America becomes Canada’s 11th province? 🤔 🇨🇦❤️ #4Nations #ETTD #Canada

This is deeply disturbing. Minnesota stands with our LGBTQ neighbors against this unthinkable crime. I’m grateful to the law enforcement agencies investigating. Gwen and I send our deepest condolences to Sam’s family and community. apnews.com/article/new-...

They are who we think they are

Dave Portnoy didn't realize that he'd committed a crime by running a low grade pump and dump scheme with a couple of shitcoins. Naturally, he recorded a video detailing exactly what he did and then blasted the confession out to his 3.5 million followers. Outstanding stuff. Peak Crypto Mindset.

I’m excited for fake agency DOGE to get to the Space X and Tesla contracts worth billions. That will save a ton!

Today is the deadline for fed workers to accept the deferred resignation offer But this "fork in the road" offer is legally dubious—& workers shouldn't cave to this effort to gut fed agencies I explained👇-TN www.cnn.com/2025/01/30/p...

Musk and his hitch men have entered the headquarters of NOAA plan to gut the agency! You got to be F kidding me! This is complete and total insanity! Project 2025 in the director's seat! Doge staffers enter Noaa headquarters and incite reports of cuts and threats www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Since the FBI appears to be the only agency that is both still functioning and not headed by a lunatic, the Washington Field Office needs to open an investigation into the breach of the computer systems at Treasury, stat

Convo with my friend from Hungary tonight who left after Orban’s election. She said “your head will spin with all the wild stuff they try to pull, new things every day, but don’t take your eyes off the money. It’s all about the money, and what they’re stealing, and for whom.”

As a Canucks fan (and huge JT Miller fan), this is never NOT going to make me sad. Really concerned the Canucks made a mistake trading him (though no disrespect to those players coming back). 💙💚 #JTMiller #Canucks

🚨🔴 More explosions. Cross your fingers for Ukraine. #standwithukraine #kharkiv #poltava #ukraine

Trump announces tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico. US neighbors hit with 25% tariff and China with 10% as Trudeau pledges ‘forceful but reasonable’ response. Consumers on both sides of the border will be paying the freight for Trump’s madness. #cdnpoli www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

oh look, our election was interfered with....surprise surprise

Wondering how things are going over all Old-Twitter? Here’s an update from this morning: Elon and his team are bigots and also don’t believe in free speech, even when that speech isn’t a slur. PS. The r-word though? Elon is cool with it. Always report it; always get told it’s not a slur.

This is disgusting. Trump just announced he will sign an executive order to house migrants at Guantánamo Bay. Like they are f*cking war criminals!

DEMS FLIP TRUMP +21 SEAT In the first special election since Donald Trump took office, Democrat Mike Zimmer has defeated Republican Katie Elizabeth Whittington to flip Iowa State Senate District 35—a district Donald Trump won by 21 points in the November 2024 election.

How can anyone in their right mind ignore this letter from Caroline Kennedy about her cousin, RFK Jr.?

Something to consider…

Rape is being used as a tool of Russian Warfare, from World War II to Today in Ukraine. In Ukraine hundreds of cases of rape have been recorded, including men, women, babies, children and elders. #opdeatheaters 🧵

A friend is saying goodbye to his beloved mastiff (who is his best friend and loyal family member) today. Buddy, I’m saving time, love, thoughts and space for you today. My heart breaks for you. Fly high, pupper. ❤️💔 #dogs

"Bondi refused to answer whether she would refuse to follow illegal or unconstitutional orders, defensively declaring that she has no reason to believe Trump would ask such a thing." This is disqualifying for probably *two* reasons.

Mark my words: Trump’s DOJ will “investigate” all of the real investigations into his crimes. They will blow any error or inconsistency into a “scandal” that somehow “disproves” the mountains of evidence against him. Don’t fall for it.

Justice Alito spoke with Trump to ask a favor—hiring a former law clerk—as Trump's request that the Court interfere with his sentencing in Manhattan hit the Court. Alito said he didn't know Trump was headed to SCOTUS, which is really odd, because the whole rest of the legal world knew it was coming.

Truth. 😫

An important message from U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT):

Cybertruck blast suspect was a ‘Rambo type’ who loved Trump, family says Matthew Livelsberger, 37, was “like a Rambo-type, for lack of a better word." The Green Beret “was a 100 percent patriot,” his bewildered uncle said. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Sen Chris Murphy is urging Ds to stop fluffing RFK. As he told me: "If we just accept that RFK is a mainstream nominee when he just finished telling us that maybe Covid was a genetically engineered virus...we’re cooked if that all of a sudden is normal." More below newrepublic.com/article/1895...

May 2025 be a year of curiosity, exploration, and love. So much love. Happy New Year!
