PM Carney: getting praise from Donald Trump, extending Golden Dome talks and promising 1 Trillion Canadian dollars going to the US in the next 5 years are not bragging points.
They’re also contrary to your campaign pledge to end deeper integration with the US economy.

You know when the cost of living goes up and you don't get a raise so you have to start giving things up to survive?

That's what it means when politicians vote for 0% property tax increases. It means they will just do less. It means expect less. It means we don't deserve the same, let alone more.

Trump’s tariffs and cutbacks are bankrupting farmers. He thinks they’ll keep supporting him no matter what, but his approval numbers say otherwise.

Tweet from Amy Klobuchar that reads:
“27 million pounds of chicken
2 million gallons of milk
67 million eggs
That’s how much food grown by American farmers never made it to hungry families because of the administration’s decision to cancel deliveries to food banks.”
Below the text is an image showing trucks on a highway with a banner labeled “CANCELED” and a caption: “Trump Canceled 94 Million Pounds of Food Aid.” The source line reads: “From projects.propublica.org.”

Patterned after its namesake in France, Shinjuku's Moulin Rouge attempted to bring entertainment to Japan during wartime. To do so, it had to contend not only with air raids but with censorship by Imperial authorities.

This photo (c.1901) shows two boys exposed to smallpox. Only the boy on the right had been vaccinated.

Smallpox is one of the deadliest & most contagious diseases known to man. The virus killed over half a billion people in the 20th century—three times more than all that century’s wars combined.

A black and white photo of two boys. The boy on the left has a severe case of smallpox, with pustules all over his face and chest and arms. The boy on the right has no pustules.

It would take around 1.1 million acres of solar panels to (clean) power the world. That's less than a quarter of the number of acres devoted globally to golf courses. You can see where this is going, right...?

Michael Ben'Ary who'd been prosecuting Abbey Gate terrorist Jafar, says his firing (bc of a false MAGA activist X post) "will hurt this case."

DOJ leaders "more concerned with punishing" Trump's "perceived political enemies than they are with protecting our national security."
