Mark Kelly: “lf you are undocumented in our country, you cannot get healthcare from the Affordable Care Act exchange. You are not eligible for Medicare. You are not eligible for Medicaid. They’re just making that up. They just like to blame brown people.”

the people who told us to calm down because Roe was settled law are the same people now telling us to calm down because the military would never open fire on Americans

It really was the "read it through once, then read it through with the photographs, then finally read all the footnotes" that got me hooked. Ordered it yesterday and it arrived today.

Heard @larrynemecek.bsky.social Trek Files podcast, Artifacts and Aspirations: Trek's Smithsonian Legacy. Excellent talk with former NASA historian & author Glen Swanson, resulting in a book order, Inspired Enterprise: How NASA, the Smithsonian, and the Aerospace Community Helped Launch Star Trek.

So, Danielle Smith doesn’t want a pipeline unless it’s privately funded. Ok. Does she feel the same way about her oil and gas industry when it’s given $30B in federal govt subsidies and financing? That money isn’t private either but she’s ok with that?

I dare the opposition parties to vote down the govt and piss off Canadians beyond words. The Libs will get the biggest majority they’ve ever had, especially after this meeting with the premiers (every stripe) today who all raved about PM Carney and this govt.

In a huge blow to Poilievre and his Cons, Indian PM Modi was not invited to the G7 summit and won’t be in attendance.

So Poilievre is with his chaperone, Lantsman, lying and saying the Conservatives will vote against the spending bill. Shocker, more of the same, nothing new, no "softer side", no cooperating, just more obstruction.

It has become a never ending thing up here, too. It has completely taken over advertising on sports channels. It needs to be crushed because kids are being inundated with it, day in and day out. They're already desensitized to it.

Pearl clutching will not win a damn thing. Unfortunately, I don't know if your country is ever going to be able to get out of this mess, especially with the vote rigging that's going on. If the SAVE act, alone, passes, I really think it'll be game over. The left will never have enough votes again.

They may win media but unfortunately they also continue to lose the war, time and time again, and it's more than disheartening.

Oh, look.
JD Vance's Maple MAGA taking a play right out of the GOP playbook.
Perhaps this asshat should consult with the Premiers before going off half cocked like this.
It's BS saying they take away work from Canadians. They do the work Canadians won't.
