A cabinet resignation so soon in the new administration would be treated as a historical stop-the-presses fuck up and scandal by the old political press (Clinton, Bush, Obama and Biden had 0 cabinet resignations/firings this early in their term). For Trump they will set up "comeback kid" narrative

The potential for the Iran War to lead to the extreme destabilization of Iraq, up to and including something like civil war or even Iranian incursions over the border, has been an under-discussed element of the current crisis.

DHS keeps the fuck plane. Lewandowski stays on it and he has to fuck. Markwayne's problem now.

This morning I jokingly said that Noem would be gone before this afternoon

It's a three Provigil kind of day

He's saying we're not going to participate in offensive actions against Iran, but might need to defend our allies. Chill, people.

Last week I was proud to travel up to Albany with so many allies in the fight to #TaxtheRich. Thanks to the organizing of thousands of New Yorkers, state lawmakers are adding taxes on the wealthy to their budget.

Coda: The reason I like Mamdani is because he seems to listen and learn and *value* Black folks as coalition partners. That is a productive way forward, in my opinion. bsky.app/profile/ebon...

Sweet fucking Christ 🤦‍♂️

It is true that he has absolutely no real views whatsoever but that's actually really helpful in this situation, because you should take it as a clear sign and a win if someone with no beliefs feels the wind is blowing in your direction.

you have to marvel sometimes about the dramatic twists the world gives you

We love R v Morgentaler (1988) don't we folks

Hilarious

Quebec sovereignty has dipped below 30% support, the lowest level since 1995. Of note, this is a Léger poll. Around here, the firm is generally trusted to be in tune with Quebec public opinion. www.journaldemontreal.com/2026/03/03/m...

We can’t clean up Washington without restoring integrity to the Supreme Court. That’s why I believe we should expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices. And then, institute term limits. Because an appointment to the Supreme Court shouldn’t mean a lifetime lack of accountability.

Trump administration dangerously close to experiencing consequences

U.S. JUDGE RULES TRUMP ADMINISTRATION UNLAWFULLY SOUGHT TO UNDO NEW YORK'S MANHATTAN CONGESTION PRICING PROGRAM.

Yes. In this video, two quebecoise musicians are dressed as polka dot aliens in a triangle cult and playing microtonal, jazz-inflected progressive hard rock with surf elements. youtu.be/0Ssi-9wS1so?...

As I told @c-sommerfeldt.bsky.social in @politico.com this morning, it's not enough for Congressional Democrats to insist on proper procedure or demand the Trump administration explain itself, as if they aren't constantly lying. We need unequivocal opposition to this war.

One of the first things I learned about polling from @peterfeld.bsky.social was the difference between “research to know” and “research to show”. This is the latter. The question is framed in a way that makes abolition look like an extreme and conflates it with no enforcement

Liberal MP criticizes Mark Carney’s support for U.S. attack on Iran

Last week the city opened $30/hour snow clearing jobs and they filled fast. Now what if we had a municipal jobs guarantee? Livable wages. Union benefits. Stronger communities.

All leaders are trying to manage as best they can yet another calamity caused by the US. I have empathy for pragmatic positions taken by the UK, Germany and Canada, even if I don’t agree But Spain is playing such a key role in refusing to allow the truth to go unsaid. They’re taking down the sign

the same great sunday scaries you know and love: now with 80% more war!

there is no metric by which this is true. even 2028 primary polling (which is meaningless in general but seems like a fair yardstick here) doesn’t have him on top. just a brazen attempt to impose him on us by the rich and the commentariat.

it’s wild how everyone hates Fetterman (correctly) and there’s a guy running who’s basically holding a huge I’m The Next Fetterman sign and it hasn’t slowed him down at all

"We invoke international law and the 'rules based international order' when adversaries engage in unlawful actions, but abandon those same rules entirely when it’s the Americans doing the bombing." #Opinion from former foreign minister Lloyd Axworthy

My prevailing theory of Quebec: Everyone important is 43 years old

Boomers lived the best version of the American dream and never let anyone have it again

what a stupid violent day in a stupid violent era

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

I mean, the theme of the Davos speech is that the rules based international order has always been hypocritical and now it is dead and we live in a time of rupture. Agree this is a terrible choice to support the war but it is not inconsistent with Davos.

lol. lmao even
