Every Texas bar has that one guy. He’s loud. He’s obnoxious. He makes all the women feel uncomfortable. He adds his drink to your tab when you’re not looking. That’s Ken Paxton — and I don’t know about y’all, but I’m done picking up his tab.

One of the funniest movies ever made. And, strangely, like the Thin Man movies, unavailable for download in Canada.

Instead of focusing on things that could actually unite Albertans—like improving health care, education, and affordability—Danielle Smith has decided to double down on division and anger.

1. Not sure when a new, on-the-record rape allegation against a sitting president isn’t considered news — especially considering Trump was found liable by a jury in a similar case — but it was ignored by most mainstream media outlets

Trump openly spoke about how he enjoyed walking backstage at the pageants to ogle the underage girls during his first campaign but for reasons of complicity, titillation or denial these statements never seemed to take hold in the media attention span.

Hungarian PM Péter Magyar: "I have just spoken by phone with the leaders of the Students List, who won the elections in Serbia, to congratulate them... I assured them of Hungary’s support. I was delighted to hear how much strength our victory in April had given them during this difficult struggle."

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

Why is Trump's DOJ refusing to release ALL of the Epstein files or prosecute the abusers identified in those files? Is it because the files keep implicating Trump? We need a special prosecutor to get to the truth.

A serial rapist was elected twice as President, a fact we don't reckon with nearly enough. Now one of two major political parties has been molded in his image, run for and by violent sexual abusers who hate women.

When he gets spanked on 3 Nov his Truth Social posts are going to be tirades of the like we've not seen before. There will be 100s of posts, all libelous, incoherent and foul. And the people most embarassed will be the people who voted for him in the first place

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Honestly, it really isn’t surprising at this point to learn that President Donald Trump is making mad money off of his dumb war with Iran, because Trump doesn’t do anything right now that doesn’t line his pockets.

“The biggest lie in Canadian politics is that the mainstream media is ‘left-wing.’ Conservative-backed, U.S. hedge-fund-owned outlets dominate Canadian news and endorse the CPC election after election. “The media isn’t biased against Pierre Poilievre — it tried to get him elected.”
