The problem is that the child porn website is owned by the richest man in the world, who no one wants to pick a fight with, and even less so now that he's aligned with the president of the U.S., himself a maniacal sex criminal. Nothing gets fixed without breaking the political power of big money

Attempting to criminalize the actions of an independent public servant, Fed Chair Jay Powell, for the sin of acting independently is an outrage. It's bad economics, bad politics, bad for the rule of law, bad for the public sector, bad for American credibility and bad for Americans.

This is a very kind wish. But I'd also like to ask you to follow other Canadian senators who are already here, and who haven't been as lucky as I have in connecting with an audience. I convinced a fair few Senate friends to give this platform a try, but many didn't feel it worked for them.

The Carney government’s refusal to take the smallest steps against Musk’s CSAM microblogging site reflects the toxic mix of Carney’s strategy of not upsetting the US lest they punish us at the negotiating table, and his FOMO-driven AI policy. We’re starting to see the fatal flaws in both strategies.

The funniest part of the “we need Greenland to defend the Arctic from Russia” argument is that the U.S. already has a far more practical and effective way to limit Russia’s threat, and it is actively choosing not to use it.

European countries are facing a serious “are you sovereign or not?” moment. Yes, it’s unfair. Yes, there are risks in standing up for yourselves. But there are awfully big risks in ongoing appeasement too, telling yourselves this US government doesn’t really mean the threats and can be persuaded.

In my world, there's a certain reluctance to being merely, or in a knee-jerk way, a resist lib. That's understandable, even commendable. On the other hand, let's be clear: It's a hell of lot better, morally and intellectually and politically, to be a resist lib than a Vichy conservative.

Republicans failure to hold Trump to account makes them no different than the Chinese Communist party,Putin’s United Russia Party, Mussolini’s fascists & Hitler’s Nazis. The party comes first. Not the people, not the nation, not democracy, not anything. My latest:

The question isn’t whether Democrats should or will impeach Trump. The question is why won’t Republicans?
Since Trump came down that infamous escalator, Republicans have missed every off ramp on the highway to fascism. They will protect Trump to hold on to power no matter the cost to Americans.

The Moscow empire will never observe a ceasefire. It will never negotiate peace. It will never belong to the family of nations. The only way this war will end is when the Moscow empire suffers a humiliating defeat, is broken up, and the captive peoples of Europe are liberated.
