Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.

"foreign influence opportunity" is like "officer-involved shooting." A cop shot someone. Foreign interests bribed the president. Just say what happened!!!

What does Poilievre mean, concretely, when he says he’ll end “woke culture” in the public service and the military? In response, Poilievre dials the talking points up to 100 and then calls massive chunks of Liberal policy (crime, economy) their “woke agenda.”

Pierre Poilievre is up in Montreal right now making an announcement about fraud protections for seniors. He said they’d pass the Stop Scamming Seniors Act. It would: 1. Mandate real time scam detection systems from banks and telecoms, starting with seniors’ accounts

Trump accomplished nothing with his trade war threat. He was talked down like a petulant toddler by the cooler heads of Claudia Sheinbaum and Justin Trudeau. They prioritized averting economic catastrophe above political noise and allowed Trump to think it was his idea. That's what happened.

"The straight-arm salute." I have no idea what the NYT is for at this point.

The straight-arm salute has meant very different things in different places and during different periods of history. But in Germany, the interpretation of the gesture Elon Musk made during President Trump’s inauguration event this week was straightforward. nyti.ms/4h6c5iE
