Wow. Canada should not be ALLOWED to have its healthcare system. Among other things... So become the 51st state and lose everything. What a great appeal.

Trump: "I do not want to lose as your representative $90 billion for the privilege of allowing Canada to have a healthcare system and other things that they shouldn't be having"

It’s genuinely sad to watch. The President is so weak and incapable of negotiating a real deal that he just posts fake ones on social media and hopes people believe him, until every party involved puts out a statement calling him a liar. We’ve never seen weakness like this in the Oval Office.

Just a reminder that Trump is selling Venezuelan oil and depositing the proceeds into a bank account in Qatar that is NOT under any control by the US government or Congress. He's just stealing it. It really is that simple.

🇨🇦 This is a brilliant must watch and is likely how electricity prices work in #Alberta as well. No wonder #Danielle and the #UCP banned #GreenEnergy. The #OilOligarchs are running the system for their own benefit and intentionally destroying our planet while emptying our wallets. #abpoli 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

We are a rogue state, run by a dictator, and the international community should treat us as such including all appropriate economic and diplomatic sanctions

I was part of the internal Trump administration team trying to convince the president to end the shutdown in 2018 - 2019 — for 35 days — before people went hungry, workers lost pay, and government services collapsed. Here’s what I learned: he doesn’t give a shit.

We’re at peak greed when the president brags about 24k gold décor for the White House while cutting commissaries, healthcare, and social nets. A palace of glitter for him, an empty pantry and hospital bill for you.

Convicted predators who rape and abuse children shouldn’t qualify for pardon consideration. A president who can’t immediately say “absolutely not” when I asked if he’s considering such a pardon should be hounded out of office.

When I lived in Russia, briefly, I described it as a third-world country with a first-world ego. I'm beginning to see that this describes MAGA Americans to a T. Every year, they vote to make us more poor, while stoking national pride so that we're too smug to see it happening. 100% Soviet mentality.

The best way to reduce the cost of Medicaid is to name and shame big employers that pay their full time employees so little, they qualify for Medicaid

Tulsi Gabbard is to Donald Trump what Donald Trump is to Vladimir Putin: A useful idiot. God help America.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

CNN put together a clip of Tulsi Gabbard testifying recently that "Iran is not building a nuclear weapon" followed by Trump saying "I don't care what she said"

We have filed over 70 legal actions against the Trump-Vance administration and we're not slowing down. Judges nominated by both Republican and Democratic presidents have ruled against the administration's lawlessness. We'll continue to prove that in court.

NEW: The Trump administration has lost a shocking 96% of rulings in federal district courts so far this month, a new analysis shows. The rulings against the president came from judges across the ideological spectrum. From: @jaknutson.bsky.social www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
