20 hours a day, everyday? That leaves 4 hours to watch Fox and news channels, post on social media, play golf, hold rallies. Applying his makeup and working on his combover is a priority.

Kelly Loeffler claims Trump works 20 hours a day (does sleeping on camera count as work?)

He consults with his pals Putin and Netanyahu, they tell him what to do and what they’re planning so he can spend his time contemplating renaming an ocean after himself. Even as an atheist I say “god help us because nobody else will”.

Pete and trump’s other sycophants are ensuring MAGA gets trashed. Canadians are just watching them implode.

Charlie Angus@charlieangus104.bsky.social

It's been a bad week for the MAGASTAN embassy in Ottawa. Their efforts to break apart our nation in the referendum went down in flames. So now lying Pete Hoekstra is setting the stage to target us when MAGA gets trashed in the mid-terms.

He sues organizations hoping they'll cave and pay him blood money. The BBC isn't caving.

Adam Klasfeld@klasfeldreports.com

BREAKING The BBC subpoenaed Jack Smith for a deposition to defend itself against Trump's defamation lawsuit. Smith didn't object to the subpoena. Team Trump opposes. buff.ly/cf6GaG2

Does he actually think trade pays for Canada’s healthcare? I know he makes sh*t up but even for him this lie is incredibly dum(b).

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"

Blame the guy who hires people because he saw them on Fox.

David Rothkopf@djrothkopf.bsky.social

Don't blame Katie Z for her record-setting flameout in a job for which she was utterly unqualified. (If someone put a monkey at the controls of an airliner, you can't really blame the monkey for the ensuing disaster. He's doing the best he can. Blame the guy who put him at the controls.)

The dog ate my homework.

lol -- Zacharia suggests her briefing was a disaster bc it was in the morning & day before was a holiday "Typically briefs are in afternoon where the press sec has ample time to be briefed. This was a very different intake. And the briefing materials got to me evening before bc it was a holiday..."

k.d. lang was sitting next to me at a Roy Orbison concert and I thought “oh, a great singer likes Roy too”. About halfway through she left and I thought “how can anybody leave this wonderful concert”. A few minutes later she appeared on stage; they sang “Crying” and it was heartbreakingly beautiful.

I’m going to occasionally post beautiful and inspiring things to silence the noise.

PEN America@penamerica.bsky.social

How did Jane Eyre, the novel that inspired the Texas Bronte Club to form in 1855, get banned in 2026? A new Texas law — SB 13 law — inspired some school disctricts to place restrictions on anything written for adults, including classics: https://pen.org/jane-eyre-banned-in-texas/ #BannedBooksWeek

Canada abolished the death penalty 50 years ago and will not extradite anyone to the US without an agreement the death penalty will not be used. (The last execution in Canada was in 1962.) This case proves it’s cruel.

Amee Vanderpool@girlsreallyrule.bsky.social

Christa Pike, who survived a failed execution in Tennessee, is awake and speaking at a hospital, her attorneys said Tuesday. "Her prognosis remains unclear but, at a minimum, we expect a long recovery,” Pike's attorneys said. My jaw is on the ground. apnews.com/article/chri...

There is beauty in imperfection.

Wabi-sabi (侘寂) The Japanese concept of appreciating both natural objects and the forces of nature. That imperfections in nature, as all things of the natural world are impermanent, and thus beautiful

A guy who only eats burgers is dissing people who eat vegetables 🥗 🥬🥦🥕 So says a visibly overweight and unhealthy man.

Trump: "In Texas, he talks about 'I'm a vaygan I'm a vaygan' he's a vaygan vaygan meaning he likes lettuce"

Why was the military biological weapons program being expanded in recent years?

I remember in 2019 when SARS-coV-2 in China was being actively monitored and who was occupying the White House then. Thankfully Dr. Fauci was trying his best to get that idiot to understand; now it’s totally unqualified RFK Jr in that position. We’re screwed.

Covie@covie93.bsky.social

The people who can't even keep lettuce and eggs safe are 'actively monitoring' the plague outbreak in Russia.

If you’re voting early DO NOT MAIL your ballot. Take your ballot to a drop box, such as those at public libraries where it will safe overnight when the library is closed.

People all over the world fell in love with Erling Haaland during the World Cup. This is his team. If City is relegated I can’t imagine one of the top strikers in football will want to play in a lower level league nor should he.

Reuters Legal@legal.reuters.com

Manchester City's directors should step down after an independent commission found the Premier League club guilty of serious financial breaches, said former chairman David Bernstein, who described the situation as "beyond awful".

It’s astounding and extremely dangerous that no one has stopped him. Why is he being enabled?

George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸@gtconway.bsky.social

Our tax dollars are being spent to indulge the fantasies and to soothe the fragile ego of a narcissistic sociopath who is falling deeper and deeper into psychosis.

I am not catholic but I really like this pope.

Something sacred is being broken every single day 🌍. Vatican issues new guidance calling environmental harm a sin against creation/the Creator. Explaining that damaging nature does not only hurt the planet. It also hurts our neighbors, especially the poorest communities & future generations.

Those Canadians, eh Pete…🤣

CorrinaLeeB 🇨🇦@corrina.sheshed.rocks

Pete Hegseth tried to mock Canadians, so This Hour Has 22 Minutes brought the receipts and his workout form. 😂🇨🇦 Nothing brings Canadians together quite like an arrogant bully underestimating us. This is comedy gold! #SheShed #ElbowsUp #ChickenLegs #CanadaStrong #ThisHourHas22Minutes

On September 11, trump phoned a tv network to brag his was now the tallest building in Lower Manhattan. Years later his story changed - he said he was at Ground Zero rescuing people. Today he says he was pulled from under the rubble by two beefy firefighters.

Instead of lying about Canada and criticizing the prime minister, trump and his sycophants should listen to Mark Carney. He’s smarter than all of them and could teach them what really is the art of the deal.
