Hey Canadian media.
Pierre Poilievre is not a ‘firebrand’.
He’s a fringe politician who embraces extreme politics, has associated with extremist groups/individuals, has a 20+ years record of offensive & bigoted remarks.
Do not normalize this threat to Canada’s democracy.

The entire permanent staff of the Division of Environmental Health Science and Practice was laid off. This division addresses issues such as asthma and air pollution, climate change and health, childhood lead poisoning, and cancer clusters.

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse.

2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report."

3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes."

This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.

small business owner: Business is great we are making a decent profit, but I think I have to give it up soon because I can't find good staff
Me: how much are you paying?
Them: minimum wage
Me: do you think that might be the problem?
Them : it's a minimum wage job
me: maybe it's not

Sen. Mitch McConnell privately indicated to Sen. Tim Kaine he would back the Virginia Democrat’s resolution to undo Trump’s Canada tariffs.

Kaine told reporters today that the former GOP leader told him he would back Kaine’s resolution, which will get a vote on the Senate floor Wednesday evening.
McConnell breaks with party to reject Trump's Canada tariffs
The former Senate Republican leader will likely deliver the deciding vote on a resolution to block a national emergency used to justify the new tariffs on Canadian imports.

A Black man just beat the record for the longest filibuster, defeating the record previously held by a man who filibustered the literal Civil Rights Act.

As the time ticked over, Cory Booker announced he did it not out of hatred for who he opposed, but out of love for those who supported him.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.
