The Not Withstanding Clause used as a weapon against human rights! Vile!
6/6 Smith was not in the chamber for the final vote.

👉 The government ignored medical experts and silenced debate to target transgender youth. 👈

👉 The "notwithstanding" loophole has become a standard tool of governance. 👈

The Trump administration is proposing to almost double what’s considered safe exposure levels to formaldehyde, a cancer-causing chemical found in many consumer products, as part of a broader overhaul of its approach to regulating carcinogens.
Starting With Formaldehyde, Trump Administration Reassesses Chemical Risks
A draft memo from the E.P.A. assumes a safe threshold exists for formaldehyde, upending earlier findings that there is no safe level of exposure to the carcinogen.

Nothing to see here, just the President of the United States having absolutely no idea who he is pardoning, nor why.
POLITICO: You pardoned the former president of Honduras even though he was convicted in a massive intl drug trafficking scheme. How is that 0 tolerance on drug trafficking?

TRUMP: Well I don't know him and I know very little about him other than people said it was like an Obama-Biden type set up

David Ellison reportedly told Trump he’d make “sweeping changes” to CNN if Paramount’s takeover of Warner Bros. gets approved.

Meanwhile, Jared Kushner and three Middle East countries are backing the bid — while Kushner advises Trump on foreign policy.

Corruption on display.

Here in Canada, we haven't had to worry since Medicare came in back in 1965—60 years ago. A major reason why we're calmer and longer-lived than our American cousins.

We call it "welfare" when we subsidies single mothers.
We call it "communism" when we propose a government assisted healthcare plan.
Republicans call it a "subsidy" when we aid farmers in red states.
