America under #TrumptheTerrible 👀📣😐 US economic growth slows sharply in the fourth quarter www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

Growth in the US economy slowed at the end of last year, the latest figures show - down 3 points to just 1.4% in the final quarter. It’s the slowest full year growth since 2020. Trump had predicted/lied that growth would be 5%.

For some reason I feel like this should be reposted... Alabama isn't "richer" than Canada. Don't print lies in the newspaper and don't embed false narratives into journalism. Simple rules.

ChatGPT? How about QuitGPT, a new global boycott. ICYMI: ChatGPT is Trump's biggest donor, and ICE uses it. Three ways to act from the organisers @quitgpt.bsky.social 👇 quitgpt.org

NEW: ChatGPT is encouraging stalkers, telling them they share a special bond with their targets -- and to keep harassing them even after they've been asked to stop futurism.com/artificial-i...

I just did the dumbest thing of my entire career to prove a much more serious point. I tricked ChatGPT and Google, and made them tell other users I’m a competitive hot-dog-eating world champion People are using this trick on a massive scale to make AI tell you lies. I’ll explain how I did it

Wrote about how DOGE bros blew up already approved grants by feeding project names into ChatGPT and asking it "is this DEI, tell me in less than 120 characters."

It's chilling how often this is the new norm in abusive relationships

Astonishing malpractice by Musk, DOGE and 2 incompetents. Plus another reason to hate ChatGPT. Thanks to the @authorsguild.org for exposing. 🙏 they win their case.

If this doesn’t convince Canada to get serious about regulating this stuff, nothing will.

#Canada I love you all

Major news for Canada: the USMCA exemptions will continue under the new tariff regime *GREER SAYS IEEPA EXEMPTIONS WILL BE EXTENDED UNDER SECTION 122

Anyway, if the poison continues to spread, and Canada is indeed about 5 years behind the US on the 'embrace far right anti-liberal democracy lunacy', we can rely on the Canadian fourth estate to do just as good a job as America's: by gaslighting us into thinking everything is normal.

Thanks to everyone who came out for the @meidascanada.ca town hall in Windsor. A shout out to our allies who crossed the border to participate - from Michigan and North Carolina. I am now heading for a rally for Canada in Parry Sound on Saturday night at the Mary Street Centre. @meidastouch.com

You can hear the midterm campaign ads being written right now: @waysmeanscmte.bsky.social

🇭🇺😵‍💫 Orban is going all-in. Sensing that he could lose the April 12 election, he is building his campaign on anti-Ukrainian narratives, in particular, scaring Hungarians with an invasion by the Ukrainian army.

Due to the veteran community posing a massive security risk to the stability of a nation we have decided it was a bad idea to provoke ya'll into hysteria by doing shady shit with your paycheck. 🥂✨️ Best News all day.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested Thursday for alleged “misconduct in public office" after DOJ files revealed more details of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

Katyal: "I was able to go to court - the son of immigrants-- & say on behalf of small businesses, 'Hey, this president is acting illegally.' I was able to present my case, have them ask really hard questions, & at the end of it they voted & we won. That is something extraordinary about this country"

As the world reels from the president's rant and threats of additional tariff chaos, I'd just like to remind the UK that they recently arrested someone who could probably bring down this entire house of cards with very little incentive.

I would like to believe that the courts have put a check on a tyrant's power. My gut feeling is that we are going to witness more unhinged behaviour. Hang onto your hat.

SCOTUS struck down the Trump tariffs, in part based on the major questions argument we made in our amicus brief! www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

NEW: JD Vance flew to Rome to formally invite Pope Leo XIV to join America’s 250th anniversary celebration. The first American pope has declined — days after rejecting President Trump’s “Board of Peace” invitation. On July 4, he’ll be in Lampedusa, standing with migrants.

The pope will visit Lampedusa on July 4, the Vatican announced on Thursday. Lampedusa sits in the Mediterranean between Tunisia, Malta and the larger Italian island of Sicily. The Lampedusa visit will come on the day the U.S. celebrates the 250th anniversary of its independence.

Canada never said this & this isn’t true. Trump can add a 10% tax under Section 122 for 150 days under certain circumstances, which don’t presently exist, so unlawful. Can’t add it on top of the existing tariffs under IEEPA just deemed unlawful. Plus Canada is exempt from most tariffs under CUSMA.

He did a 10% tariff under section 122 instead. Which he can do for 150 days under certain circumstances. Which don't presently exist, so also unlawful.

Hours after SCOTUS said only the Congress can tax, the president said no, he can do all the taxes he wants all by himself. This is not getting enough attention. Via @atrupar.com

I'm going to have the biggest schadenfreud ever if Trump sends the FBI to raid chief Justice Roberts home or cooks up a bogus charge.

This is basically the same message Trump has communicated about the rest of the government - they are deep state, untrustworthy, selling out the true people - and SCOTUS bent over backwards to hand him power to destroy those institutions.

I updated my column with some new details — Trump's rambling press conference, the inflationary pressures of his previous tariffs, and how his Commerce Secretary may stand to get rich off today's SCOTUS decision. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

Just a reminder: Howard Lutnick is the author of Trump's tariff regime. He simultaneously has made heavy bets on the market that SCOTUS would strike it down. Nothing unethical about that, is there?

Recently, UCP government advertised that “Alberta is open for business”, wanting to grow Alberta’s population to 10 million by 2030. Now, influx on new Canadians is blamed for overcrowded hospitals, schools, and deficit. In reality, mismanagement is the culprit, not immigrants.

This is great news! www.ctvnews.ca/winnipeg/art...

Rakhi Pancholi made it very clear today… She believes that Smith’s rhetoric is absolutely fueling racism and bigotry in Alberta and called out her failure to condemn Bruce McAllisters recent bigoted comments. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Premier Danielle Smith announced a raft of referendum questions Thursday demanding provincial intrusion into federal jurisdiction, cutting services to new Canadians and other anti-immigrant measures, and seeking significant changes to the Canadian Constitution. @djclimenhaga.bsky.social writes.
