Here we go: Big law firms fold…CBS and ABC pay him off.. then Jimmy Kimmel gets canned… all of a sudden people say « this is one too many ». All of a sudden Disney grows a bit of a spine, we start to notice the law firms that told him to GFH, the ABC local fold! Did @jimmykimmel.com save democracy?

Democrats need to find their own Mark Carney, an adult who understands complexity in governing, how economies work, has a firm understanding that most people reject the extremes and will choose fairness every time. That and having the kind of self deprecating sense of humor.

It took cops three hours to finally go into the Pulse nightclub the night of the shooting. If you wander near a crosswalk in Florida with a piece of chalk right now you'll have four cops on you in under five seconds.🤷‍♂️

Pierre Poilievre comes out swinging for....the organizers of the freedom convoy. lol. lmfao, even. Good to know all that talk of "pivot" was actually a pivot even further rightwards from his camp.

It is time for all media and those who know better to stop saying any country will pay tariffs. All tariffs imposed by the US will be paid by Americans wherever that import arrives on the supply chain from raw materials to Temu deliveries. It is nothing more than a sales tax on all imports.

Tim Snyder: Today no kings, tomorrow freedom. There is a better America out there. There is a better America underneath. There is a better America that we can see. There is a better America that we can make. History is in our hands.

For sure the MAGAts will find a way to rationalize this or excuse it.

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

We need more of this… a lot more! @davidmoscrop.com in case you missed this.

Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew at the signing of an MOU to knock down trade barriers with Ontario- encouraging other premiers to join them. Says they're serious about national unity nation building projects, and that Canada should put aside politics and roll up our sleeves.

“The Liberals in Canada were losing big until our president kept mocking Canadians, our neighbors and close friends. He made Canadian Liberals great again." -- Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) First time I've agreed with him on anything.

Vance's Easter visit to Rome clogged its streets with a 40-vehicle entourage. He also demanded the Coliseum be closed so he and his family could tour it alone. Tourists who properly booked slots in advance got screwed. He's apparently the first to make that demand. Then he didn't bother to show up.

“The charter of rights and freedoms exists to protect Canadians from people like us on stage, politicians who may use their power to override fundamental rights. The issue is not where you start, but where you stop.” #CanadaVotes

If you had a buck for every time the HHS Secretary says “I don’t know,” you’d never have to work again. When asked if RFK Jr. personally approved over $11B in cuts that could gut infectious disease and mental health programs, he says he’s not familiar — then blames the cuts on DEI. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Thinking of all the people who told me that it was far too dangerous for Joe Biden to take extreme action to stop rising fascism because if he did so then if fascists got back to power, they too would be able to take extreme action. Turns out when fascists aren’t stopped they just do it it anyway.

"This is totally unacceptable, to be absolutely clear," Carney said on the Liberal staffers who planted election denial buttons at a Conservative conference. "I was unaware of this behaviour, but on behalf of my campaign, I apologize for it unreservedly."
