It seems the President didn’t hear us the first, second, or third time, so I’ll say it again.

There will be no federal takeover of Portland.

I spent more than a decade at The Post. It was good to me and I was proud to work there. I’ve largely refrained from being critical since I left. But this framing of the special counsel probe is embarrassing and flatly wrong. Stunning, but not. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Opinion | Jack Smith’s lawfare and James Comey’s arraignment on pathetically weak charges

Good people will be deterred from public service if they see a meaningful risk of winding up in jail afterward.

Carney didn't help auto by offering to build Keystone XL.
Trump remains focused on destroying our auto sector.
Carney isn't placating a "growing" Alberta-BC rift.
Danielle Smith set up a non-existent fight.
Keystone XL doesn't "suck" for the US environment - it is a planet carbon bomb.

@charlieangus104.bsky.social This may be way off the mark, but this strikes me as a smart move by Carney because he gets progress on US tariffs and partially defuses the growing Alberta-BC rift while shifting the burden on making it hair to the US… which sucks for the US environmental concerns but

October 8th is one of my favourite days because this one time on October 8th - I went to Christopher Columbus' birthplace and installed a plaque on his home, claiming the property on behalf of the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas.

PAM BONDI IS AN ANTI-TRUTH, ANTI-AMERICAN, FASCIST LYING CUNT - Just like liar Trump and his entire criminal cabinet. Criminal traitor Trump hires ONLY the most corrupt cronies who honor his Oath of "Loyalty" to HIM, INSTEAD of their Oath to our Constitution. ALL now spew DJT's Big Lies incessantly.

Greg Abbott is a lackey of Donald Trump.

He’s going against exactly what he said he would do last year.

The president must follow the Constitution. If he wants to push the boundaries, we’ll hold the line in court.

This is America. The U.S. military has no place in our streets.

Portland is peaceful. There is no reason to deploy National Guard here.

@warnock.senate.gov: "You know that it's a critical moment any time Raphael Warnock and Marjorie Taylor Greene are essentially saying the same thing. That doesn't happen often... She saw that the premiums of her own adult children will go up so much in 2026 that their healthcare is unaffordable."

It's been over 9 months since the Palisades and Eaton Fires tore through Los Angeles. We asked for federal support, but we haven’t heard a word from the White House.

Not a single offer.

Is this what leadership looks like? Abandoning the American people when they call for help?
