We thought we’d have a bit of fun and get our friends from Down Under to try some of our favourite Canadian snacks. Unfortunately it went horribly, horribly awry.

This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.
I will never, ever vote for Gavin Newsom. Ever, under any circumstances. I don't care if he becomes the Dem nominee, he's still not getting my vote.
On a recent podcast Gavin Newsom tells Shawn Ryan how the Trans sports issue opened the door for him to change his mind on GAC for Trans Youth.
As someone who adored him since 2004 and voted for him 5 times, I can't wait for him to leave office.
There is no way I will be voting for him a 6th time.

i don't really doubt that he did it, cops do this shit constantly and fuck up cases they should have in the bag and whatever the truth I don't really care as long as Luigi gets set free and no one dies or goes to prison for the assassination of that CEO
The funniest possible outcome to all of this is that they picked the closest guy they could find in classic idiot lazy cop fashion and ended up with a uniquely charismatic thirst trap to be a patsy for a crime that has broad public approval.
Okay Luigi absolutely didn't do it and this is a pin job

I asked Schumer about this last night and his answer was basically that they’re wrong.
The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents 800,000+ federal and D.C. workers (i.e. people directly impacted by a government shutdown), is urging senators to vote no on the House GOP's CR.
In other words, AFGE is saying a government shutdown is less bad than this GOP bill.
