Security Clearance is Canada's - and PIERRE POILIEVRE's - Epstein files

Keep throwing distraction Peep. We're not forgetting. Any... ANY party leader would have gotten it in response to public uproar.... if they could have

pretty clear Peep can't get it

Since the Speaker refuses to swear in Grijalva, a duly elected Member, the House can & must act:

1. Pass a resolution authorizing another Member to swear her in

2. File a Motion to Compel or censure Speaker for dereliction of duty

3. Apply public & political pressure

🔊 RELEASE EPSTEIN FILES.

🆘🇺🇸

Most of Dem Senators did not attack Bondi yesterday as they should have. Among other things they should have said, "You're lying again, Ms. Bondi" and "That's a bald-faced lie, Ms. Bondi."

The rapid rise of authoritarianism is no place for etiquette.

Can’t believe I have to say this, but in Minnesota you will continue to have the freedom to get your COVID and flu shots.

I liked this "skeletons on state" skeleton that was sponsored by the Lyric Opera
Skeleton in a white and gold ballgown dressed up to look like an opera singer. The skeleton is holding a gold garland.

Someone should start asking why we’re hearing and seeing Stephen Miller so much all of a sudden.

@governor.ca.gov & @gavinnewsom.bsky.social & @votecnp.bsky.social when do we, the taxpayers of California, get to vote on withholding our taxes being sent out of our state? When can California stop supporting states that threaten our sovereignty and support our needy and needs?

Do your own sourcing. I already did mine.

Before posting I asked Nike’s comms team to confirm or deny the mask rumor. They refused. If you ran a $100–110 billion company, wouldn’t you issue a statement and Just Say No? Silence is a PR disaster. My post stands until Nike speaks.

These are scary times, and it’s okay to feel afraid. The challenge is learning how to respond instead of retreating. This piece offers insight into managing that fear and transforming it into courage, understanding, and tangible steps forward.
The Fear Factor
The right and the left both use fear to drive politics, but the difference in how is striking

"Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia" should be how Democrats begin every single comment to reporters these days.

Ruben Gallego on whether Trump is talking to Democrats:

“Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia, so I think there's a he's probably talking to himself, or think he's talking to a Democrat, but I sincerely doubt that that's actually he's actually physically talking to a Democrat.“

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.
Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

The nearly full Harvest moon rises over a snowcapped Mount Hood at sunset yesterday 10/5. It should be a beautiful couple nights of moon watching in the PNW, with a Full Harvest Supermoon peaking tonight and mostly clear skies 🍂🌝🍂 #orwx #harvestmoon #supermoon #pnw #mounthood
