Did you ask about their policy on random breathalyzer testing?

Can’t be said enough: the right in Canada bleated on for years about patriotism & people not being proud of Canada, of wokeness, reconciliation, statue removal, etc as the problem. Then they are first to lay down in front of a foreign strongman who makes them half chub horny. It was all bullshit.

"Trump's military deportation flight to Guatemala on Monday likely cost at least $4,675 per migrant... more than five times the $853 cost of a one-way first class ticket on American Airlines from El Paso, Texas, the departure point for the flight..." www.reuters.com/world/americ...

Let me say this clearly. The tariffs are a money grab. Less money in the hands of the American people due to the new 25% tax on goods. More money to distribute to his cronies in the form of tax cuts. See how it works?

When people wish me well in "retirement" I don't know what they are thinking. The political fight goes on. And I will be there as part of the resistance. This article lays out the road I have been on. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/01/28/n...

Let Denmark cook.

New, from me, on the foreign interference commission, missed opportunities, and looking ahead:

more like this from top Dems, please

Dougie decided he can't win on June 4, 2026. FINE! I'll cross the date off my calendar. But my friends, colleagues and I are going to work our butts off to make sure he doesn't win on Thursday, February 27 either. Mandate smandate.

Can our milquetoast government do more than ‘threaten?’ #amazon

Homophobes are scared of cards now! (Don’t worry, I changed the cards to face forward)🤗

YES. What is Canada’s positive - dare I say it - urban vision of the future? Like I don’t mind voting against Trump, but I’d rather vote for an alternate vision of housing, healthcare, education as economic development

Apps and ankle monitors that track asylum seekers. Databases packed with fingerprints and faces. To carry out mass deportations, President Trump's administration could access a stockpile of tools that is nearly unmatched in the Western world, according to an analysis by The New York Times.

Much-needed rain is coming to Southern California, along with concerns for mudslides in areas burned by the LA fires. via @laist.com

Doug Ford gets second hat to clarify that he is still for sale

Dear Humans, Trump’s hiring freeze has left his own supporters jobless and humiliated. Now, they’re begging him to fix the chaos he caused—and the irony is nothing short of divine. Grab some popcorn; it’s time for thy daily dose of schadenfreude.

President Donald Trump said he wants Jordan and Egypt to take in more Palestinian refugees as part of a plan to “clean out” Gaza, a controversial proposal previously advocated by voices on Israel’s far right.

Longtime Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko won a “sham” presidential election today with 87.6 percent of vote, according to an official exit poll, marking his seventh term as leader of the Eastern European country.

If Trump were to seize Greenland, a NATO member, under the NATO charter, NATO would be compelled to defend. This would either pit America vs NATO or force NATO to back down and dissolve. This is a Trump-Putin joint effort to destroy NATO together.

The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy. My advice, take the first step, start with something small and see what works for you. Here are ten things all of us can do. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

Dr. Hotez nails it!!! In addition to his list, my worry is for the next generation of scientists who are in training now. We are going to be fucked for so long just because folks could not bring themselves to vote for the black lady 😡

Where the hell was this before the election

Won't sugarcoat it: This has been the shittiest start to any presidency in my lifetime. And I’ve lived through Nixon, Reagan, and George W. Bush. But there are heroes among us, and Bishop Budde is a shining example.

Trump White House told the three Democratic-selected members of the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board to resign by tomorrow or be fired. Ousting them would paralyze the independent, bipartisan watchdog agency. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/22/u...

Judge Tanya Chutkan's order dismissing Jan 6 case, due to Trump pardons: "It cannot whitewash the blood, feces, and terror that the mob left in its wake. And it cannot repair the jagged breach in America’s sacred tradition of peacefully transitioning power"

If nothing else, Bishop story and Trump now demanding an apology has provided a salutary reminder of Trump's militant snowflakery www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Thank you, Canada. And we’re so sorry about him.

"Slowly, over the course of the story, the men of the forum become radicalized by their grief and begin plotting – and executing – murders of health insurance executives and politicians who vote against universal healthcare." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

Here's @rep-rosa-delauro.bsky.social picking up on how Elon Musk killed a bipartisan agreement because it would have pried too much into his investments in China. (Link to my story on this from earlier: prospect.org/politics/202...)

This is America being great?

People not elected to government should not have the power to reshape the government, especially people whose obscene wealth depends on the government functioning a certain way. This is not a hot take. It's just plain common sense.

I'm once again asking for a show where a librarian, a bookseller, and a carpenter travel around helping people manage their out-of-control book collections. Discuss their sentimental value, their rarity, their histories, then build amazing book nooks and shelves and little libraries to organize them

“Woke” means “suspected of harboring loyalty to the Constitution”

Let me get this straight? Trump dithers on about the situation in Syria and his concern is what's best for Russia?

One day....
