The rightwing is trying to turn their minions on me by publishing a transcript of something I said today to @nicollewallace.bsky.social on @msnbc.com. I stand by every single word.

Trudeau: "I want to speak first directly to the American people. We don't want this. We want to work with you as a friend and ally. We don't want to see you hurt either. But your government has chosen to do this to you. As of this morning, markets are down and inflation is set to rise dramatically."

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Trump and Vance are part of the tiny percentage of Americans who sympathize more with Russia (4%) than Ukraine (62%) and who view Putin more favorably (75% unfavorable) than Zelensky (28% unfavorable) today.yougov.com/politics/art...

President Trump’s simpering fealty to Vladimir Putin and Russia is embarrassing and dangerous. Illinois stands with Ukraine, and so should the White House.

Nice to see at least a little pushback from Republicans on Trump blaming Zelensky for being invaded. Wish there were more. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

I’m the dairy farmer running to replace Elise Stefanik in New York’s 21st Congressional District. Can you repost this, give me a follow, and help spread the word?

Musk et. al. are just unloved children cosplaying what they think masculinity is. It’s embarrassing.

A new poll suggests that if Mark Carney wins the Liberal leadership race, he would erase the massive lead the Conservatives have enjoyed for the past year and a half.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

This energy.

The Musk/ Trump White House’s wildly inaccurate claims about USAID spending Eleven out of 12 claims about the agency’s work are misleading, wrong or lack context. By Glenn Kessler www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

We do not ship Americans to gulags abroad. If they commit crimes, no matter how horrible, they are entitled to American justice. This is basic stuff, and shouldn’t even need to be said.

This is a great idea. Do you know anyone in Congress you can talk to?
