Carney on Canada's National School Food Program: "No child should go to school hungry or sit in a classroom all day wondering where their next meal will come from... Until today, this program was a pilot..so, we're announcing we'll move forward with the funding and legislation to make it permanent."

Carney on automatic federal benefits: "This program will pay out hundreds of millions of dollars in benefits in the next few years that would otherwise be left unclaimed, helping our most vulnerable get the supports that they need."

/2 The photo is actually from a protest at Toronto police headquarters and is at least a decade old. While some Portland protesters did taunt ICE agents with a similar stunt, the photo is a misrepresentation.

#Trump boldly claims he has allegedly collected $17 TRILLION in foreign investment since January 2025.

Why doesn't he just take that money and pay down the #NationalDebt or better yet:

1. Fund M4A
2. Fund Military Paychecks
3. Give Farmers More Aid
4. Fund Medicare & Social Security
5. Retire

PM Carney owned the House!
PP tried to corner him on U.S. relations and the economy big mistake. Carney coolly reminded him “there is a thing called the private sector” while laying out Canada’s trade wins like a masterclass in leadership.

The power asymmetry... two violent Border patrol officers tackle a harmless female who was NOT obstructing justice.

They dont care that the charges will be dismissed. They're not accountable.

They wish to humiliate and intimidate ppl so they do not protest again.

Zohran Mamdani didn’t hold back. His speech today on Letitia James’s indictment was 🔥 calling it exactly what it is: a political hit job meant to punish those who hold Trump accountable. “If justice can be weaponized against the just, then no one is safe.”
