Leaving aside that none of these political questions are any of CBSA's business and that declaring your personal support for Israel is not a legal requirement to enter Canada, I feel like this part is even more absurd given that said *95 YEAR OLD* also happens to be Jewish

You absolutely should question if this 4-hour interrogation of an internationally renowned legal expert on his *95TH BIRTHDAY* was politically motivated and an abuse of power
If CBSA refuses to explain itself, it is betraying the public's trust and deserves no benefit of the doubt

USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins plans to make all SNAP recipients reapply and prove "that they literally are vulnerable and they can’t survive without it.”

Food aid recipients are already required to recertify their information regularly. But the move is part of USDA chief Brooke Rollins’ effort to overhaul the program.

In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

Beyond policy considerations and electoral politics, Tuesday provided a lot of people with a brief spark of hope that maybe our democracy is not already dead, and Democrats immediately capitulating to anti-democracy forces for no discernible benefit is a great way to extinguish that spark.
