This is really not as difficult as they’re making it. Yes, it’s divisive. Yes, it’s hate speech. Yes, it’s threatening. No, its not acceptable conduct for anyone in the CG, or for that matter, anywhere in public service. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

One of the biggest moments of my career:
USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!

When a government starts targeting former intelligence officials, law enforcement leaders, and anyone who once investigated or criticized those in power, it’s not just a red flag, it’s a page straight from the authoritarian playbook.

The Westminster Parliamentary system has some weird traditions - the dragging of the new Speaker to their seat by the PM & Opposition leader being but one.
I love this tradition. It’s always worth a smile. #cdnpoli

And it’s coming from inside the house
BREAKING: Scott Pelley just risked everything to make one thing clear:
The attack on free speech isn’t coming—it’s already here.
Journalists are being silenced, critics are being punished, and most of the media’s playing dead.
This is state-sponsored suppression. This is dictatorship in real time.

The U.S. just refused to sign a G7 statement condemning Russia for a missile strike that killed 35 Ukrainians on Palm Sunday.
Every other G7 country signed it.
Trump’s envoy is meeting with Putin. Civilians are dying.
And now the White House won’t even name the aggressor.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.
