When there’s a mass shooting in the US, Trump rushes to blame the left. He stokes fear & division and rarely says anything about the victims. In Canada, all party leaders went to pay their respects in Tumbler Ridge. They held hands, placed flowers & showed unity. That’s how it should be done.

It’s truly fucked up that the government regularly refers to actions it’s taking on American soil using military terms like “surge” (as in, the Iraq troop surge of 2007) and “Operation Midway Blitz” as in the Blitz of 1940, when the Nazis attacked Britain.

ELLISON: We're hoping we can gain cooperation perhaps in the Pretti matter, but we've been advised that the feds aren't investigating the Good matter and we haven't received any access to the evidence PETERS: So in these two cases, you're being stonewalled? ELLISON: That's a yes

The DOJ was spying on lawmakers searches on the redacted Epstein files. This is in violation of the separation of powers and as @raskin.house.gov says, it’s Orwellian. The DOJ everyday violates laws and Pam Bondi must be impeached, disbarred, and sent to prison.

It’s so important to make this point. Yes, we should absolutely be: 👏 More 👏 humane 👏 conditions 👏 But we should also be very clear that you could be putting folks up in the Scottsdale Four Seasons with an open room service tab and you would still be causing harm.

She is an empty suit, of course. And an absolute nasty piece of cornbread. She is also, to my somewhat trained ear, absolutely, positively terrified here. She is either intimidated by the process or deeply anxious about her relationship with her boss. Or both. But she is terrified.

WTF! “So just like Hitler imprisoned Gypsies, Jews, communists, you know, all of his political rivals, we have to do the same thing with women. … So they go to the gulag first. They go to the breeding gulags.” www.mediamatters.org/nick-fuentes...

The power of Italy is so strong that even Scandinavians succumb to the allure of a misguided grand romantic gesture while in that country

It was 85° in California the last several days; they were wearing masks.

Republicans - Refuse to wear masks to save lives, but gleefully put them on to end lives.

This is going to end up with an executive order renaming it the Trump Gordie Howe bridge, isn't it

Thinking this was SNL and "never mind" would be the next words. (Grace for memories of Gilda Radnor.)

He lost Kennedy? How the hell did he do that? You lose Kennedy and that's the ballgame. I doubt they'll recover on this issue, Lutnick will get hung out to dry as a sacrificial lamb. But Kennedy will predictably be back onboard with MAGA on everything else by tomorrow.

Ouch

So, now all private conversations are not promoted? Can you say "Nazi?"

"Clean up on aisle 2!" Seriously, we've got generations of work to do.

The CIA scrubbing the World Factbook from the web may not seem like a big deal in itself, but it's a symptom of something larger: the Trump administration's war on government usefulness. My latest at Public Notice: www.publicnotice.co/p/cia-world-...

CORRECTION: "Leavitt begins by lying..." Aaron is too polite and I'm too old.

Just repeating fallacies for those FAUX followers in the back. This child has no clue about the sandbox he's playing in or the world that built it. Send him to nap without treats!

It’s trade - not some abusive marriage. Free trade agreements have, on balance, benefited USA. #Canada is absolutely prepared to weather a difficult time as we economically divorce from our now abusive trade partner. Our new trade relationships will take time to get going - but we will be free.

America is learning the hard way that "we make a lot of money together, you benefit from trade with us" does not actually equal "we own you and you must be subservient," and that countries will forgo some money to preserve sovereignty. Today's corrupt, self-interested US leaders don't get that.

We must regain the "Ich bin ein Berliner" attitude that built the strongest and most free world we have known, and then extend that to all nations and peoples (we have generations of work to do).

The seething contempt Republicans have for Latino-American culture has been on full display over the last 24 hours.

“Many tens of millions of Americans not only voted twice to put this man in the White House, but also continue to support him with great fervor, underscoring the motivating power of racism and the need to scapegoat others.” www.americaamerica.news/p/can-americ...

🧵What we are witnessing in Minnesota is not that different from what the Crown did after the Boston Tea Party. There are so many parallels to the lead-up to the American Revolution, and Trump's extreme measures in Minnesota are right in line with what King George III did to Massachusetts.

Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) told The Guardian: “Lying to Congress about his role in the deadly measles outbreak in Samoa only underscores the danger he now poses to families across America. He and his allies will be held responsible.”

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

This is the true cost to Trump's presidencies. We have lost allies, their faith, and the economic benefits that come with them. T bills that form a large part of your retirement? Probably not going to have the same return going forward - ever. A significant cost to the US.

The Target situation is like a microcosmic example of the US tariff initiative. People thought they needed Target, until the boycott. Now they’ve found ways around it and don’t wanna go back. Other countries are now realizing they don’t need the big superpower USA and are adjusting accordingly.

OBAMA: “People make excuses for him. They say he’s not serious. Everything a president says is serious!”🔥

I would hope to see similar statements from all of Congress and Senate, at a minimum.

May be her Blue Bayou moment.

Good news. But suspicious.

You may recall that in January of 2025, artist Ann Telnaes announced that she had quit The Washington Post after editors killed a cartoon that depicted owner Jeff Bezos, among others, genuflecting to Trump. This cartoon feels even more relevant this week.

The Golden Age continues.

Remember, 60% votes in the Senate ends this nightmare. 60 is the New Black.

Trump at the National Prayer Breakfast: "One of my favorite people, President Bukele ... he operates rather large prisons. Very strong prisons."

They contribute and can not collect‼️🤬🤬🤬🤬

A 50-year pillar of Portland media known for reporting on policy impacts in undercovered areas — and one of the state’s only Black-owned news outlets — is shutting down.

The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023. The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets. https://ow.ly/jy8a50Y8kM3

“This is a case study in near instant, self-inflicted brand destruction.” Martin Baron, Executive Editor (Retired) at The Washington Post... www.linkedin.com/posts/mabaro...

Jeff Bezos took over the Washington Post Editorial Board and turned it into a mouthpiece for pro-corporate, pro-billionaire propaganda. Now, WaPo is laying off hundreds of *real* journalists — including the reporter covering Amazon. Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

DONNY THREW A TANTRUM IN THE OVAL BORDELLO WHEN REPORTERS WOULDN'T STOP ASKING ABOUT HIS DEAD PEDO BESTIE. FREE CLUE, DUMBFUCK: YOUR NAME IS ALL OVER THAT SHIT, OF COURSE JOURNOS ARE GOING TO WANT TO KNOW. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO MY VERY ANGRY POST ABOUT IT. LINK IS HERE: bit.ly/4ast91f

“McSweeney” is trending on Twitter, which reminded me I once submitted a TS Eliot parody @mcsweeneys.net which they liked but rejected because they “already had published too many TS Eliot parodies” I just updated it to reflect recent times (but I always had @donlemonofficial.bsky.social in it) 😈

Winter continues to discontinue here.

Another round of dark headlines this am. @wsj.com @financialtimes.com @nytimes.com

So many productions use this fucking software. You've got a month now to recreate your entire fucking pipeline in another program, and all your previous work is useless, bye Fucking insane. To do this so fast with no warning has to be criminal

anyways i need democrats to realize that trump is trying to fuck with the midterms ***specifically because he is afraid that he, donald trump, will be impeached and then end up back in court and then die in prison*** and then i need to them to literally never shut up about impeaching his bitch ass

This.
