Canada should be first in line to sign such statements.

Tomorrow is the 5th anniversary of the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol. I’m proud of the work we did on the House January 6th Committee. January 6th should’ve been the end of a political movement based on a cult of personality, conspiracism, extremism & lies. Instead, it is now in power.

My latest with @ichotiner.bsky.social.

"The dangerous thing here is the idea that a President can just decide that a leader is not legitimate and then invade the country and presumably put someone in power who is favored by the Administration. If that were the case, that’s the end of international law"

Tupac tried to scold y'all

I’m thinking this morning about all the people I spoke to last year who were absolutely convinced, and tried to convince me, that Trump would be antiwar compared to Biden and Harris. In the past week alone he has attacked Nigeria and then Venezuela and also threatened to attack Iran (again).

It is beyond time for scrutiny of Canada's terrorism listings process. This process is protected, almost entirely, under Cabinet Confidence, meaning that there is little possibility of public scrutiny through access to information requests. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

This all seems pretty unbecoming of a FIFA Peace Prize winner

Please respect international law, starting riiiiiiiight now.

I see we're debating the agency of children in terrorism again. It's interesting: in this case, the use of "females". Could have said "woman" (if he really believed she was an adult at 15) or could have said "girl, but of course that would undermine his position.

BREAKING Zohran Mamdani has been sworn-in as the 112th Mayor of New York City.

My latest op-ed in Globe and Mail on AI race between China and US. Trump’s war on talent in universities and international scholars may kill what pwas US has had www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

We had congressional hearings when parents just suspected heavy metal was leading some kids to suicide.

Living in the panopticon means exactly this. Everyone behaves as if they are being watched and judged at all times, regardless of whether it’s actually happening.

From @parkermolloy.com at New Republic. newrepublic.com/article/2047... I'd go a bit further. The system needs no conspiracy to function. It just needs everyone to understand the direction things are going in. Bari Weiss was put there not to protect a legacy, but to align its politics differently.

Merry Donald J. Trump Christmas everyone.

The 60 Minutes Story The Trump Administration Doesn't Want You To See youtu.be/jiehEMlNiCI?...

CBS is cooked. It's been a few decades coming but we are witnessing the death of American journalism. Nothing good follows in the aftermath of that.

No one is going to tune in to CBS because they know it won’t be critical of Trump but lots of people will tune out for that reason. Spiking the CECOT story to curry favor is a terrible moral and journalistic decision — but it’s also a terrible business decision.

Giving you an extra special bonus episode of The Lincoln Project Podcast, Rick Wilson is joined by special guest Chris Whipple of Vanity Fair, the reporter who just detonated Trumpworld with his explosive reporting on Susie Wiles. WATCH: youtu.be/_V850-2_P90

Beautiful tribute to Rob Reiner, which explains why Trump felt the need to post what he did: no one will say anything like this about him when he's gone. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/17/p...

“This is a student who did nothing wrong on a campus that is already in mourning,” says @chrislhayes.bsky.social on the "enraging" story of right-wing figures falsely claiming with zero evidence the Brown University gunman was a Palestinian student.

My buddy JM told me about this when we met recently, and I've been dying to read it since.

The Kennedy Center's board, made up of loyalists with Trump as chair, voted to rename the institution “The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts.” www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...

Q: By any metric, the Israelis are flouting the ceasefire Trump negotiated by killing an average of 2 children a day, not allowing aid into Gaza. How long can the Israelis be allowed to show such disrespect to President Trump? RUBIO: That's your characterization about 'disrespect'

Zohran: "I mean, think about when you fly.  We have made it such a difficult experience to go through TSA that there's now a financial incentive to sign up for a separate program that can move you through it quicker. We have monetized the dysfunction."

Thanks, Oprah.

I would like to recognize the good work of the photo caption writer in this story about convicted terrorist Matthew Althorpe: "Matthew Althorpe, seen here in his room in his mother's basement, pleaded guilty in October to terrorism offences." Feral. www.thestar.com/news/gta/can...

I will be leading Queen’s University’s contributions to the AMALTHEA project, a 3 year, €3.11 million Horizon Europe initiative on gender and extremism. This is the first Horizon Europe award in Queen’s University’s history. www.queensu.ca/cidp/press/q...

Today's newsletter: The same machine that destroyed 600 lives over Charlie Kirk has nothing to say about Trump mocking Rob Reiner. www.readtpa.com/p/the-rules-...

Australia's domestic intelligence agency, ASIO, examined one of the Bondi Beach gunmen six years ago over his close ties to a Sydney-based Islamic State (IS) terrorism cell, the ABC understands. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...

Amid a cholera outbreak that sickened 36,000 and killed 600+, a USAID-funded clinic saved lives with 62-cent IV bags. Then the funding was cut and the clinic closed by the Trump administration. www.propublica.org/article/usai...

Just a reminder that at least 600 Americans were fired for failing to show sufficient respect after Charlie Kirk's murder.

A treasure from beginning to end. An irreplaceable loss.

This fucking year

Crushing. Rob gave us so much laughter & joy. From the Smothers Brothers to "All in the Family" to wonderful movies ("Princess Bride, "Spinal Tap"). And he was a passionate progressive advocate—and a great guy, full of stories and enthusiasm, to spend time with. A horrific end to a horrific weekend.

Bystander tackles and wrestles gun from alleged gunman during Bondi beach mass shooting

At least two people are dead and eight are in “critical status, though stable” at Rhode Island Hospital after a shooting at Brown University, Providence Mayor Brett Smiley said. No suspects are in custody. Follow live updates.

Call 911 cus I just witnessed an assassination

Sure, it's bad, but at least it was entirely unforeseeable

In a normal administration, this would be a career-ending, weeks-long scandal

Abrego Garcia is not a "proven human trafficker." He has merely been *accused by the government* of being one. That's not the same thing. And if Leavitt is so certain of these charges, why is the administration attempting to deport him to Africa to avoid trying him in a US court?

Canada just updated its list of designated terrorist groups to include three ideologically motivated violent extremist groups — ones that are pretty darkly disturbing. The newly listed groups include 764, Maniac Murder Cult and the Terrorgram Collective. Here's what you need to know:

The next time the U.S. President and his lackeys recommend Ukraine cede territory to Putin in the name of "peace", or complain about the Ukrainian President not wearing a suit to the White House, think about this child and the countless other lives forever impacted by Russian terrorism.

🚨🚨BREAKING: A judge has ordered that the Trump administration release Kilmar Ábrego García from ICE custody immediately. The administration must comply.

The GOP was a dependable supporter of Israel for a long time. Now, its far-right wing is seeking to change that. By: @shaneburley.bsky.social inkstickmedia.com/the-growing-...
