No, the Atlantic seats will not "be a trend for the rest of the country." There are - and always have been - serious regional disparities in vote outcomes in this country. But CBC knows this. And yet they have to throw out weird narratives to keep people glued to the TV, I guess?

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you.
If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you.
If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you.
We must speak out now — before there is no one left to speak out.

"Trump can't just declare war on Canada, there are checks and balances."
The US has formally declared war 5 times, the last in 1942. Not Korea, Vietnam, Grenada, Iraq, or Afghanistan. 125 times the president has engaged the US in military action without authorization from Congress.

Trump’s new acting CFPB director in charge of reigning in predatory financial institutions is literally promoting a predatory payday lender.

Remember: Wealth can’t be separated from power. Power begets wealth and wealth begets power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging our markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of billionaires.

Whenever you hear someone sneer about scientific research that seems useless to them — “they’re studying the spit of lizards?!” — remind them that’s exactly how we got Ozempic.

Podcaster Tim Pool - who was funded by Russian to make RW influencer videos - makes a bellicose threats about Canada and posts a racist email he supposedly got in response.
What comes to mind is Russia claiming Ukraine is riddled with Nazis as an excuse to invade.

Where are the defenders of the US as Elon and nameless private agents infiltrate US agencies, commandeer US servers, steal US data, seize US money, march US officials from US buildings? Who sallies forth from the FBI? The CIA? Congress? DoD? The media? This is a coup—and America appears defenseless.

Egg prices hit record highs this week.
Much of the increase is the result of egg shortages brought on by avian flu.
How has Trump responded? By ordering public health agencies to cease communications with the public.
His presidency is a threat to our health and our wallets.
