Air Canada is offering free beer and wine to economy class passengers on all its flights — even short-haul domestic routes.

It’s a sweetener following passenger pushback about additional fees for extra baggage and legroom.

This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th.

If you voted for this senile liar, and if you enable him today, you clearly are ok with breaking America. The ruins of our once great nation are because of you.

The far-right mouthpiece who told young men to clean up their place while in front of his very clearly messy home, now has contracted an illness from all the mold in his home.

If you wrote such a fascist character in a story it would be deemed a silly caricature.

Jordan Peterson diagnosed with chronic condition after exposure to mold

Peterson's daughter said her father has a "genetic predisposition that causes the immune system to have an inability to identify and detoxify mold."

Some DHHS employees who were fired by reduction-in-force notices on Friday are being rehired.

HHS rehiring some people fired through reduction-in-force efforts

A Trump administration legal document said HHS initially targeted 1,000 to 1,200 employees for dismissal, and people speaking with POLITICO say the firings focused on the CDC.

Just a reminder that the Constitution gives Congress the power to set tariffs. It could end this madness any day they chose to discover their power.

There's a decent chance that the Supremes will strike down Trump’s extra special brand new 100% China tariff, as unconstitutional. And so it's doubly notable how much markets panicked, given the (roughly) 50% chance it won’t happen. The market drop understates the damage Trump's trying to inflict.

My dear grandmother was a geologist, and it would have given her great joy to hear her grandson digging into rare earth minerals, finding out what they do, and why they matter.

But for everyone else, it's a drag — the trade war equivalent of learning about the latest covid variant.

We lose so many, don't we? Those people we grew up watching, falling in love with. Older we get, the less there are. You want them to be here forever. It's impossible, but you want it to be like that. So sad to hear we've lost Diane Keaton. She'll be so, so missed.
