She knows exactly how to play him to get the assistance she’s hoping for. And he thinks as always that it’s all about him. And she didn’t accept it for him. 🤦‍♀️

Dominion Voting Systems, once at the center of 2020 election conspiracies, has been sold to a firm run by a former Republican elections official promising to “restore trust in voting.” Somehow, I don’t think that’s going to do it.

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection.

Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

I’m sorry, but nothing screams I SWEAR I AM NOT THE ANTICHRIST more than hearing about some billionaire AI-obsessed technofascist’s obsession with the Antichrist. A billionaire whose face is actively melting off before our eyes to expose the digital demon beneath, I might add!

Toronto Blue Jays: Amid Canada-U.S. tensions, ‘Canada’s team’ is excelling at America’s pastime

California is the first state to define ultra-processed foods and phase them out of school meals.

DC politicians can talk all day about "Making America Healthy Again," but we've been walking the walk on boosting nutrition and removing toxic additives and dyes for decades.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

Pritzker: "I think it's important to recognize that the Trump administration does not seem to respect any laws in the United States. They just do what they want to do and they'll keep doing it unless someone stops them. Here in Illinois we're stopping them."

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

Make no mistake.

The recent incursions in our skies are part of a pattern of growing threats.

It’s time to call it by its name.
This is hybrid warfare.

Europe must get the capacity to respond and protect our skies.

Work has begun.

Are Canadian Conservatives the same as US Republicans? No. However they are more increasingly aligned. More & more.
They belong to the same international party alliance, use the same culture war tactics & have increasingly adopted US style talking points on immigration, media & identity. #cdnpoli

As we watch the growing resistance to Danielle Smith's MAGA agenda in Alberta let's remember the powerful roots of true prairie populism. We have national health care because that generation stood up for a better vision of Canada.

Pritzker is right. They want to normalize troops in cities so they can steal every election just like Putin does.

1. CBS, once one of America's most trusted sources for news, has hired anti-woke crusader Bari Weiss as its Editor-in-Chief

With Weiss, CBS is embracing someone who talks a lot about honesty but has a history of distorting the truth to conform to her right-wing ideological agenda.

Let's review.

The devolution of CBS News

A network once revered for fact-based reporting is embracing right-wing pseudo-journalism
