Left of centre in Canada, meaning raving lunatic by US standards, and a bit right by civilized country standards. Working to make the world a better - and livable place - for everyone.

A single billionaire megadonor is propping up the Republican effort to stop Dems from flipping Pennsylvania’s Senate and gaining full control of government—to a much greater degree than Elon Musk is doing it at the federal level

Via @stephenjcaruso.bsky.social, who really should post here more than there, I'm counting $8.52M from Jeffrey Yass to try to preserve a GOP state senate majority in PA (candidate giving, SRCC, and State GOP) and another $1.1M to stanch the bleeding in the state house, where Dems lead 103-100.

The powerful executives who cozied up to Trump didn't oops accidentally forget about pendulum swings. They either: 1) Like the fascism 2) Calculated it was here to stay, so going along was savvy 3) Saw no real downside, no consequences when the pendulum swung Crucial to show them 3 was a mistake

That this is in THE WASHINGTON POST is almost too much irony to bear.

ICE thugs are sending immigrants to countries that they have never been to, because there are orders by judges protecting them from being returned to their home country due to persecution. But these third party countries are sending them back to their home country, anyway. #ICELawlessness

Don't debate the wrong point or get distracted from the true evil here. The issue is not the GOP using Acton's mother in an ad to attack her own daughter's trustworthiness. The issue is the mother making the accusation fed her daughter to a rapist, and is saying her daughter is lying about that.

Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦

Zelensky explains why Russia failed to capture Kyiv in 2022. And no, it wasn’t because some Russian general took the wrong road, as Trump keeps saying.

LMAO - questioner asks about corruption, giving Alina Habba as an example. The Attorney General, standing behind Vance, was at her wedding, which took place as the graft was happening. They both got their positions because they were Trump's personal defense lawyers. It is all the same club!

JD Vance: "There is no person who hates the idea of people enriching themselves fraudulent over access to the government than Donald J Trump"

Vance is in Ohio to support the Ramaswamy campaign, which is in hot water for an ad in which they promote a woman who sided with her husband after he was arrested for raping her 12-year-old daughter. For his intro song, they chose ... Jerry Lee Lewis, who famously married his 13-year-old cousin.

LMAO JD Vance's speech in Ohio is off to a great start

Do not trust the polls. Do not allow yourself to become complacent. Vote early — and get your friends and family to vote. Do not let Elon, Big Tech, Big Oil, AI, and the billionaire class buy this election. We outnumber them — and we're the only ones that can put an end to this nightmare.

Truly mind-boggling and very scary The 1997-98 El Nino resulted in a global economic hit of $5.7 trillion When we look back on the current hyper El Nino, don't be surprised if there is not much change out of $20 trillion

Need a reason to vote? Here’s one… When Dems take control of the House Oversight Committee, these are the investigations they say they’ll prioritize: 🔥 ICE and DHS abuses 🔥 Trump administration & family corruption 🔥 Epstein & justice for survivors 🔥 Corporate corruption #ElectionHeroesVoteEarly

Doug Ford. Lots of talk and bluster, but he said it many times in the past and seems to secretly believe it still, "if I were an American citizen, there is not a doubt in my mind I would vote for Trump"(2016).

reminds me of Callais pretending that remedying an illegal racial gerrymander is *also* an illegal racial gerrymander for the white supremacists on the Supreme Court, it's always a legitimate use of power to entrench racism, and an abuse of power to confront it ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/alito...

ballsandstrikes.orgSamuel Alito Didn’t Only Gut the Voting Rights Act. He Rewrote the Constitution, TooThe Court’s decision in Callais will make it more challenging for Congress to pass laws designed to protect multiracial democracy.

If SCOTUS says, in this case, a race-neutral policy to enhance diversity is racial discrimination, it would mean (a) racial hierarchies that exclude Black & brown students are required because (b) schools can't try to prevent Black & brown students from being excluded. It's white supremacy.

Enforce the Canada Health Act! Canadian tax dollars are being deliberately misappropriated at the provincial and territorial level through underfunding of public healthcare and redirecting federal healthcare funding to create second-tier private for-profit healthcare systems in Canada.

ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER PAXTON SCANDAL Paxton will fly all the way to Dubai to party w/fugitives wanted on federal fraud charges, but won’t show up on a debate stage to face James Talarico in front of Texas voters. One of those fugitives donated $190K to Paxton, including $25K AFTER being indicted.

Absolutely infuriating.

It’s not only estrogen… The recurring Rx drug supply crisis is a TIME SINK for family doctors. DAILY requests from pharmacies for substitutes ⬆️ Work stress ⬇️ Scarce appts ⬆️ Patient risk 😡

Q: You said Russia and Ukraine agreed to a ceasefire, but both sides said they have not agreed to that TRUMP: Well they agreed, you know why? Because I said 'you agree.' That's why.

Facts are for losers. All the cool kids make stuff up just for kicks. In his Rebel-published endorsement of Bradford's campaign, Ezra Levant cites a Toronto "crime wave" of the imagination.

Give Ukraine the frozen Russian assets NOW. What in Heaven's name are we waiting for? Some further atrocity that finally proves that Putin is a soulless bloodthirsty monster?

“If they don’t attack us—kill our children, we won’t attack their diesel.” - Volodymr Zelenskyy The leader of a democratic nation shouldn’t have to beg America to not fund the war killing its children. The time is long past to choose good over evil. We should be ashamed of our leaders.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Zelenskyy: "If President Trump really wants to have elections, tell Putin give us two months, 60 days of total ceasefire -- 60 days -- and we will organize elections. Of course, we will be ready for any choice of our people."
