This image (File 468 in the Epstein records), showing Donald Trump, was part of the DOJ’s Friday release and has since vanished from the agency’s website. Funny how that works. Someone must have missed that redaction, oops.

Imagine arguing that not indulging misogyny is an "attack on children" (as in toxic masculinity is an essential part of manhood?)
Oh wait you don't have to imagine

This is the second story in three days The Times has carried arguing against misogyny lessons in schools, which it describes as "some weird feminist attack on male children".

Alt Text: Doug Ford, currently under RCMP investigation, panders to his base by wearing an OPP sweatshirt while pretending to pack boxes at a food bank instead of improving rent control, increasing the minimum wage, building homes, increasing ODSP, or helping in any meaningful way at all really.

Man is entirely unhinged. Nevertheless, politicians, former presidents, media, and anyone of influence remain silent on a grave issue merely regarded as eccentric conduct. This is not simply an idiosyncrasy, and the assertions made by Vought and Miller are profoundly unsettling.

Curious what the panel means by “limiting eligibility for social services to citizens, permanent residents and individuals with an immigration permit." Excludes undocumented people, presumably, but what about refugee claimants who are covered by federal health care but may need social assistance?
The province receives recommendations from panels all the time, and premier & gov't take or leave ideas as they please.
But this is different.
This panel was *chaired* by Premier Danielle Smith.

This lie was also meant to tee up Lecce and his plan to put a US nuclear reactor in every neighborhood.
Ontario doesn't need any more electricity - as we say, we often pay other jurisdictions to take what we can't use.
This nuclear is meant to power data centres for industry and the US military.

This lie was paired with the "adding a tariff to Ontario electricity" lie, which also worked a treat. 😄
He didn't mention - and of course #CdnMediaColludes didn't ask - that Ontario doesn't have contracts to supply electricity to any US state.
When we have too much, we PAY THEM to take it.

If only there was some way of knowing how other countries spend less on health care and have better life expectancy.
Ah, Reagan.
See the US line in this chart? Know when it started its split from the rest of the first world countries? I’ll give you one guess.
