This is really good. I appreciate @davidcoletto.bsky.social being so transparent about how he approaches (and thinks about) polling, and I appreciate Wells for asking smart questions, as always. An important and informative conversation. #cdnpoli open.substack.com/pub/paulwell...

It’s also a clear admission of failure and inadequacy on the part of the “men” doing it.

Fox News beta cuck Sean Hannity: “As of today, I no longer consider myself a Catholic.” Not only selling out your dignity and integrity but also your eternal afterlife for a man who would push you in front of a bus if you got in his way. Good work. 1/2

Just calling balls and strikes

and another thing: im not mad. please dont put in the newspaper that i got mad

There's long been a type of savvy, conservative-coded con man who's especially adept at siphoning the money of AARP-eligible suburban and rural white Christians into their own, city slicker pockets. But the link between the grift and the right wing politics has rarely been as tight as it is today.

its just funny to me that the avatar of conservative masculinity is such a moist subservient cuck

All of his businesses and property should be nationalized and dissolved and he should be stripped of literally every single asset and dollar. Put him in public housing and let him live off of whatever UBI the next Congress passes.

Oil & gas started the war but batteries are going to be the victors.

The FBI guy is on a paranoid bender and won’t leave his room. The War guy quotes bible passages from Pulp Fiction. The Health guy collects raccoon dicks. It’s an Idiocracy on steroids.

Imagine if the press that Hegseth is insulting took this sort of stuff as seriously as they took Ilhan Omar saying AIPAC influences elections by spending money

Even by Poilievre's standards this is just an absurd misrepresentation of reality. Carney left the Bank of England in early 2020. Inflation didn't take off in the UK until mid-2021 -- the same as every other economy on earth.

i think folks might be unfamiliar with "the pharisees", so let's make it clear: he's saying the jews run the press, and that they are conspiring to undermine the military. it's not just antisemitism, it's indistinguishable from nazism.

Hegseth saying “The Pharisee Press” should be a fully mask off moment. He is saying “The Jewish Press”. But Christians of all political stripes are so devoted to using Pharisees as a rhetorical prop that liberal Christians regularly insist it’s totally fine, no matter how many Jews try to explain.

my unpopular opinion is that we're better off with Kash running the FBI and we should hope he keeps his job as long as Trump does

on the 50th anniversary of the release of The Boys Are Back in Town I'm morally obligated to share my favorite story of all time

ZOHRAN: “TBH, I don’t think too much about how Republicans portray me. The power of an ideology is judged in the worth of its delivery— to be told a city-run grocery store is implausible but $500 MILLION/day to kill ppl in Iran & Lebanon is necessary speaks to a broken politics.”

So today, the president confirmed the blockade is still in place while Iran reiterated that the Strait was 'open' if 'open' means 'closed, except for a few ships that pay the toll' and the result was that WTI futures dropped ~10%. I realize they're betting on a deal in the future, but still 🤷‍♂️

You know it is garbage legislation when the UCP rolls out the “in due course” mumblings of their least qualified party member to try and explain it.

that they are freaking out this badly over a surtax on second homes worth more than five million dollars - the most excessive rich person thing imaginable, which doesn’t even affect most of them - really makes it clear how little attention you need to pay to the freak outs

Trump slowly evolving into dril

Read the text of this invite below. It is crazed. 'Ellison’s decision to spend time in Washington “honoring” a White House that has made demonizing the press central to its playbook has outraged staffers at CBS News.' www.status.news/p/david-elli...

This is dope as hell. Humans are pretty amazing at doing cool shit when there aren't some stupid assholes fucking shit up

a phrase that has been coming to mind a lot lately: reality always bats last

this is fucking unreal stuff from Noah Wyle on the magic of The Pitt. www.gq.com/story/noah-w...

Are there any proudly patriotic web developers out there who can help me work on a fun little side project related to the impending Alberta referendum? If so, please reach out. #abpoli

oh wow you’re telling me that jd vance follows yet another nazi on twitter

Latest YouTube show featuring Dan Arnold from Pollara. And yes, the separatists are already in the comments. Have at 'em. #abpoli #cdnpoli www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfil...

I think there are two key takeaways for Americans from Peter Magyar’s ouster of Orbán: 1. We must rally overwhelmingly behind the 2028 Dem nominee 2. We have to be ready to send people to prison if we win My latest for @liberalcurrents.com www.liberalcurrents.com/two-lessons-...

🇨🇦 = Independent redistrictings that strive for effective representation and a fair playing field, for the benefit of voters. 🇺🇸 = Politically managed redistrictings where one party games the process for advantage, at the expense of voters. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

I'm being told this is authentic - it's by the people behind this DDOS attack on @bsky.app

Over on Twitter, Greg Clark, former leader of the Alberta Party and Alberta Electoral Boundaries Commission committee member shared his thoughts on the UCP's failure to act on the recommendations of the Commission. He was one of the most reasonable politicians I've ever worked with. Worth a look.

Alberta's independence referendum is a risky new era for Canadian unity and for the province itself — with the potential for American interference and an acrimonious process. @maxfawcett.bsky.social talks with pollster Dan Arnold of Pollera about what Albertans and Canadians should do to prepare.

Here’s a feed cleanser. Dogs catching treats.

After the @theijf.org found Edmonton paramedics’ overtime jumped 81% in three years, staff from Premier Danielle Smith’s office messaged reporters and editors, claiming data was omitted and asking the story be rewritten or deleted. At least one news outlet complied. @brettmckay.bsky.social reports.

Filed under "don't threaten me with a good time."

If the UCP goes forward with this plan to gerrymander Alberta's electoral boundaries, Albertans of all partisan persuasions will be called upon to push back. And hard. drjaredwesley.substack.com/p/drawing-th...

So the media is a bunch of villainous Jews and Trump is Jesus. I fully expect the NYT to sanewash this antisemitic lunacy. So far, they’re ignoring it.

Like, for example, a Secretary of Defense citing a fake Bible verse from Pulp Fiction to promote wars of aggression.

In Question Period, Poilievre and his caucus have flat-out lied and said that the clean fuel standard is just a rebranded carbon tax, when it's not a tax or a charge at all, but a hypothetical estimation of how much it might cost refiners to meet that standard.

How is “viewpoint diversity” not just affirmative action for people with bad ideas

Max once again out here doing the Lord’s work on factchecking nonsense about pollution pricing for the country’s biggest emitters

The MLB-approved statement the teams’ broadcasters are reading about Jackie Robinson Day is an embarrassment. Jackie didn’t face “adversity” — he faced loud, violent, entrenched racism. He integrated baseball & saved it from collapsing in on itself. Say that.

what’s funny about this is that tarantino wrote this “ezekiel 25:17“ for the film. it isn‘t actually in the bible. publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/hegseth-bo...

honestly it’s hilarious that he’s trying to fight the pope and the pope is like “I don’t think about you at all”

Last month in The Onion:

polling must be wild
