Trump says he's already won the midterms. He's focusing on states and events that cheer him, but do not reflect the electorate. Does anyone else hear echoes of claims that he didn't lose the midterms? www.themirror.com/news/politic...

Brad Bradford... known as "Bad Brad" in his current ward... is known for lies, fake news, and dishonesty. And according to his constituents, that's just the beginning. clean50.com/brad-bradfor...

LANKFORD: Trump "..is choosing the American people first... If anyone's shocked... they should have listened to him in the last several years." We listened. Trump doesn't care about global warming, ethics or morality, America's global standing or credibility, supporting fascists. Totally consistent.
I hope Alberta stays with Canada. Many reasons, not really financial, but because we're better as a unified country. globalnews.ca/news/1210641...
Listening to #MikeRogers lie on CNN about his opponent's connection to Muslim extremism is fascinating. And kinda disgusting. But I guess it's his only strategy to win. 🤷♂️ #Michigan #AbdulElSayed #FightFascism www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
The ultimate in American corruption. And yet so many support it. How far has the nation fallen. www.courthousenews.com/doj-defends-...
Interesting article. I have noted this for a while. The problems with AI are the problems with capitalism. It is the first technology fully able to grow and feed itself like capitalism... growing infinitely, without control, until we stop it. Until we stop them. redflag.org.au/article/the-...

It's fascinating to watch Eric Schmitt embarrass himself by confusing the names of sports teams... and insisting that the defendant perjured himself (not to mention "dirtbag"). Yet Schmitt was wrong. I'm surprised he didn't stamp his foot and start crying. This is what Trump has done to Republicans.
A phenomenal moment in the Senate. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta. Smith denies it. Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury. Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland. WATCH IN FULL, UNINTERRUPTED

So we all seem to agree that Trump broke laws in making his propaganda PSA about how great he is. We also agree that it won't help. But no-one dares to stop him, so this waste will continue. apnews.com/article/trum...
American president Trump has "gone from breaking the law to trampling it." What many Americans don't understand is that to Trump and his supporters, these ads are not propaganda. This is the world they live in. And they are the heroes. www.huffpost.com/entry/richar...
Trump says the US is leading in AI. Are we sure? 2022: two of the top three institutions where AI researchers work were in the US. 2025: two of the top three institutions were in China. The other was in S. Korea. Priorities. And choices. carnegieendowment.org/features/who...
The Trumps are making an obscene amount from the presidency. All of them. So much for the American system. It would be fun to watch the collapse if the world wasn't going down the toilet with them. Because of them. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Alberta’s grievances with Ottawa are mostly manufactured, always exaggerated and, often, completely illusory. Now it's time for the people who spent the last decade amplifying and weaponizing them to put out the fire they helped create. #cdnpoli #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/05/26/o...

So Elon Musky launched the biggest rocket ever to distribute satellites and... well... to make life better for his rich cronies. How much did he nudge climate change? How many will lose their livelihoods while he lives in his sheltered home? #ClimateChange #Elon-Musk www.space.com/space-explor...
I had to confirm with Snopes that this was true. Yes, I suppose they have gone an amazing job over the last two years: amazingly BAD. Americans, the rest of the planet is begging you to chuck MAGA. This cannot continue.
Vance's midterms pitch: "Give us another chance. Give us another couple of years"
I'm sorry this is what was needed, but not surprised. Modern American Conservatism is more about death, not life.
Big news: The family of Tierra Walker, who died after she couldn't get an abortion, is suing a slate of Texas actors in state court, including AG Ken Paxton. They say the state ban is unconstitutional. This is the first suit of its kind. 19thnews.org/2026/09/texa...

We could use this in Canada. We fo have laws that limit credit card interest rates here... it is illegal to charge more than 35%. I think weight have to talk about what "predatory" interest rates actually means, @mark-carney.bsky.social
Trump pledged to cap credit card interest rates at 10%. Today, I introduced legislation with Sen. Hawley to do just that. We cannot continue to allow big banks to rip-off Americans by charging outrageously high credit card interest rates of 25 or 30%. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/04/b...

Amazing how far America has fallen... and continues to plummet. I guess it worked for Musky last year, so Trump figured he'd try it on a more national scale. #Capitalism
With Election Day fast approaching, Elon Musk is going all in for Trump, including a sketchy swing state vote buying scheme that’s raising legal red flags. How far will he push the boundaries—and can he be stopped? Get the full story in The Big Picture.
"Vote buying is an electoral campaign violation that occurs in many countries, which undermines the integrity of elections and is detrimental to democratic governance." www.idea.int/publications...
