Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

In a shocking moment, Donald Trump just went further than ever before - openly praising authoritarian rule.
“I’m a dictator… but sometimes you need a dictator.”
Anyone still pretending this is normal is lying to themselves. #cdnpoli

We all underestimate and overestimate Russia at the same time.
They are Italy's economy armed with the most nukes on earth and war as their state religion.
Russia is a death cult where people are willing to die for money.
We need to stop analyzing it like a normal country

"Portland + Lewiston represent the smallest metro area to become a target of the Trump administration's #immigration crackdown."
BUT: Maine is a blue state. Red states Florida (1.6M) + Texas (2.1M) each have more undocumented immigrants than Maine has PEOPLE (1.4M).
It's *NOT* about immigration.

“Everyone is on high alert,” Portland Mayor Mark Dion said. His city and nearby Lewiston have seen an influx of migrants and asylum seekers in recent years.

So, I’m at the point in the speech where there is a chyron saying #Trump won’t use force to acquire #Greenland.
Never heard him say it in his speech. Went back & he never said it.
So either it was in his written speech & he didn’t say it. Or #NBC just made it up. Bc it spooked markets.

Davos is looking a bit of a disaster for Trump and the MAGA crowd. After Trump was forced to TACO on Greenland, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick was tonight heckled during a speech at a dinner. Christine Lagard, European Central Bank President, walked out mid-speech.

Poilievre would have gone up there to cry about Justin Trudeau, because that’s the only weapon in his arsenal.
Mark Carney gave the best speech at Davos by far. He understands the situation with clarity while others prevaricate, appease, and send late-night “Dear Donald” texts or call him “daddy.”

FYI - It seems that fans of the #habs (e.g. on social media) don't see value in Joe Veleno being in the Canadiens line-up at C.
The numbers show Veleno is a very important & valuable PK & D-zone face-off man:
