#BreitbartNews #JohnNolte mentioned the #Ramaswamy attack ad against #AmyActon. And they mocked Amy's sexual abuse by her father... with whom her mother sided. "If you enjoy awkwardness, Thanksgiving dinner at the Acton household just became the hottest ticket in town."

"Despite running with progressive planner roots, #BradBradford aligned closely with the center-right administration once in office, voting alongside Mayor John Tory 93.7% of the time during his first council term." We don't want another John Tory. I mean, unless you want to ignore the poor again.

I no longer live in Toronto, but I still consider it my home. It's been painful watching Doug Ford rip it apart to appease suburban city-haters. And Brad Bradford will do much of the same. Shit, the dude wants to privatize the water! Torontonians, get out and vote. Do not let Bradford win.

WELKER: You urged Congress to pass this law in Sen. Graham's memory. Do you agree with President Trump's decision to lift sanctions on Russia? LANKFORD: He is choosing the American people first is what he's doing

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.

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...

washingtonpost.comEl-Sayed again denies ties to Muslim Brotherhood“I wasn’t raised by my mother,” El-Sayed said in response to past social media posts that allege his mother was active in the Islamist movement in the 1970s.

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-...

redflag.org.auThe problems of AI are the problems of capitalismThe fundamental problem with AI is that capitalists control it and it is subject to the system’s prevailing conditions of profit maximisation, competition, imperial rivalry and more.

Canada has the longest coastline on Earth. We are an ocean nation. That’s why we’re backing front-line conservation efforts with more than $1 billion to protect them. Our oceans shaped the Canada we know today — and how we treat them will shape our future.

Today is Canada's Day of Truth and Reconciliation. It is not a day to celebrate. It is a day to listen. A day to recognize the costs of colonialism and capitalism.

The anger and emotion displayed by some Republicans when they're wrong is worse than that they turn out to be wrong so often. Please, check your facts. #EricSchmitt

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...

apnews.comTaxpayers have funded nearly $1.5M in pro-Trump ads. Criticism is mounting, including from the GOPAdImpact says three taxpayer-funded ads promoting President Donald Trump are nearing a cost of at least $1.5 million.

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...

carnegieendowment.orgWho’s Ahead in the Global AI Talent Race?The United States and China are extending their lead in producing and attracting top AI talent. At the same time, Asia ex-China is rising while Europe falters.

Trump has convinced the AI leaders of the US... some of the most profit-motivated people on the planet... to establish a "morally binding" agreement. Trump. The master of morality. 🤪

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...

theguardian.comTrump has amassed staggering wealth in ‘most openly corrupt’ presidencyEthics experts and Democrats express alarm as Trump uses office to grow his personal fortune to ‘unprecedented’ level

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...

space.comSpaceX wants to put 1 million AI satellites in orbit. What would that do to Earth's climate?"There seems, in my opinion, to be very little consideration for the environment."

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"

Living in Canada and watching the warped, power manipulations from south of our border regarding Venezula, Greenland and the Strait of Hormuz, I cannot help but wonder if this is what it felt like in Czechoslovakia around 1937?

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

Senator Bernie Sanders@sanders.senate.gov

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...

Interesting. Trump closing the Kennedy Center sounds very reminiscent of the recent closing of Ontario's Science Centre. Is Trump taking lessons from Canadian politicians to get what he wants?

My only comment is that a whole generation of *Canadian* kids is learning to never take crap from a bully. Too many American kids are learning to loudly hate the bully... while quietly enjoying the benefits of standing behind the bully.

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

George Takei@georgetakei.bsky.social

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.
