It’s pretty wild that the most rabidly anti-immigrant administration in recent memory is comprised of a President married to an immigrant, a VP married to the daughter of immigrants, an assistant AG in charge of Civil Rights who’s an immigrant (Dhillon), & it was all funded by an immigrant (Musk).

Do any nautical sickos know the year that the size of BP’s tanker fleet surpassed the size of the Royal Navy? (I am fully aware that capabilities are not going to be comparable, but I do want to know when the sheer size differential occurred, thank you)

This morning, I spoke with President Zelenskyy about ongoing efforts to secure a just and lasting peace.
As Ukrainians face another winter of Russian aggression, I reaffirmed Canada’s commitment to Ukraine, and the need to maintain pressure on Russia to negotiate.

Symbolic air strikes, whether in Syria or Nigeria, will not defeat ISIS. Many of Trump’s other actions, from cutting foreign aid to trying to eliminate online moderation, are actually undermining the struggle against ISIS and other terrorist groups. As i just wrote: wapo.st/4qrV8U5
