Donald Trump's approval rating currently stands at -18. His unpopularity is in large part explained by Americans’ views of the economy. Follow our Trump tracker for the latest

Danielle Smith and the UCP hate accountability So much so, they’re setting themselves up to rig our next election. Every Albertan needs to stand up and tell them NO. Premier Smith: 780-427-2251 [email protected] Minister of Justice: 780-427-2711 [email protected] #abpoli

Trump knows nothing but his own misunderstandings and his decades-long flight from the consequences of his terrible acts.

1/3 Trump claims Pope Leo said Iran can have a nuclear weapon. There is no evidence the Pope ever said this. Fact-checks show the opposite: - Leo has repeatedly warned against nuclear weapons and called for ending the arms race. www.cnn.com/2026/04/16/p...

“Mentzelopoulos asks the court to hold Wallace and DiFiore in contempt of court, to issue a restraining order and to force a takedown of the videos, podcasts and social media posts” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I’m so friggin tired of speaking up. Letters, phone calls, protests; none of it seems to matter. Getting a first hand lesson in the creep of fascism here in Alberta. I know that we have voices as voters but it’s beginning to feel like not enough Albertans give a shit to save this place.

Also Aliya Rahman is suing. www.huffpost.com/entry/aliya-...

“Trump’s enablers will be remembered for hiding the dementia, crimes and treason of the worst parasite in US history.”

So #Alberta- what are we gonna do?! Are we ready to become a gerrymandered province? Are we going to just accept that our #UCP government is corrupt and are going to cheat to ensure election results they need? When do we take it to the streets? #ableg #abpoli #DanielleSteal

Today, Danielle Smith and the UCP caucus unveiled plans to rig the next election: A new motion indicates the UCP's plans to manipulate the election maps for the next election in their favour, and without any requirement to consult the public. This has never been done in Canadian history. /1

What JD Vance is proud of should not be a measure of anything serious or important in a world of adults. He and Trump are just a pair of frat boys on their way to a kegger.

This is a very troubling story via @brettmckay.bsky.social.

Meanwhile, the typical American will pay a federal income tax rate of 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like. [Via @itep.org]

Physician May Chinn was born 130 years ago today. In 1926 she was the 1st Black woman to graduate from Bellevue, but then spent 14 years looking for a hospital that would allow her full practicing privileges on account of her race, practicing privately until she found a cancer research position. ⚕️

Molecular biologist Carolyn Greider was born #OTD in 1961. She shared the 2009 #Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for the discovery of the enzyme telomerase & how chromosomes are protected by telomeres. This has 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘶𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭 implications for the fields of #aging and #cancer research. #WomenInSTEM

Donald Trump bragged about grabbing women by the pussy. He was credibly accused of sexual assault by 20+ women. He is alleged to have raped at least one child. He was found liable of sexual abuse. And Republicans made him president. Twice. They don’t get to pearl clutch now...

#BLM OTD 1853 Harriet Tubman made her first of 19 courageous trips back to the South, leading enslaved people to freedom through the Underground Railroad. She personally guided 70 people (family & friends) out of Maryland & provided instructions to 50–60 more. #BlackAmericanHistoryIsAmericanHistory

Let's just hop that many of the people who voted for Trump based on a suite of things he promised to do didn't know that he would use criminal means to do them. Let's just hope they didn't know he was a pedofile.

BREAKING: 75% of Americans support releasing the Epstein files, even if it implicates their own party, according to PBS poll.

The news all sucks today. Here's a kitten in a library!

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admited that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from the Epstein files release. DEATH? The truth is probably far worse than anyone can imagine. Blanche needs to be proescuted as well.

It speaks volumes about our president. It looks like an SNL skit.

The Epstein Class Special Military Operation.

Thnx Olga, but it’s the same old story with these people, nothing is on the level. She was shipped in from Central Casting She was brought in from Arkansas to play the part. She played a different one when they shipped her to Nevada It’s all a bit jaded at this stage…

Turned on NBC. They talked about “President tipping a DoorDash driver $100”. This woman participated in GOP ads before playing other roles. There is no DoorDash deliveries to the Oval Office. Please exercise proper judgement when consuming news.

This is a time to come together so we can build a Canada strong for all. My statement on today's by-elections in University—Rosedale, Scarborough Southwest, and Terrebonne.

Trump loves touting "no tax on tips," but ignores that his Department of Labor proposed a rule that would make it easier for corporations to misclassify workers. Millions of gig workers are wrongly labeled "independent contractors," and cut out of benefits and protections designated for employees.

Huh. The UCP's holding an official event at a well-known bigot's restaurant. If you didn't know, Paul's Pizza has been this way for a long time. A**holes of a feather, I guess... #ableg

You know what's really embarrassing about this conflict? Iran has a 90 percent literacy rate while 50 per cent of the US reads at the 6th grade level or below. Iran sent Phds to the ceasefire talks. The US sent realtors.

“And when Iran refused Donald’s demand to stop shutting down traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, Donald got back at them by shutting down traffic in the Strait of Hormuz himself!”

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

I sounded the alarm about Donald Trump’s sons backing drone company, Powerus. Now, Powerus wants to sell drones to countries under attack by Iran. Are Trump’s sons cashing in on the war their father started? Americans deserve answers.

Always follow the money.

New post from Pope Leo: "God's heart is torn apart by wars, violence, injustice and lies. But our Father's heart is not with the wicked, the arrogant, or the proud. God's heart is with the little ones and the humble."

Today, Pamela Jo Bondi, our most recent head of the Department of Justice, is blithely ignoring a valid, legal subpoena requiring her to testify before Congress. We are not a nation of laws. We are a nation of some people can get away with anything.

Today's cartoon by Michael Ramirez for the Washington Post:

War criminal netanyahu is destroying towns in southern Lebanon without military reasoning, which is a punishable war crime.

The American president counts Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-Un as his friends while denouncing the Pope.

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.

If evangelicals think Pope Leo is too”woke” just wait until they hear about this fellow called Jesus.

You’ve heard of Stockholm Syndrome. Welcome to Budapest Envy.

Same old pattern: Fox: Throws egregious softball to Trump Trump: Beats ball boy with bat, squats and defecates on Home Plate

Trump really is the Antichrist, isn’t he? 🤨
