No way in hell should public funds go to private schools. That’s why they’re private! The parents pay the tuition, not the public purse.

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.

So Bondi is refusing to answer questions before a Congressional oversight panel and/or perjuring herself by repeating her cult leader's lies.

Cabinet officials can be be impeached.

Seems like it's time to at least propose that.

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

Hell ya’ many of us in Alberta are sick and tired of here belligerent grandstanding. Albertan’s were NOT consulted. This is just her O&G masters trying to bleed our shrinking tax dollars for short term gain while we get left to clean up the mess. JUST SAY NO!

Smith says that Eby's attitude is unCanadian - someone should tell her that holding a separation referendum is actually unCanadian.

Traitor Dani is delusional. She needs to clean up the mess she's continuing to make in her own Province and leave the rest alone to prepare for the future instead of trying to turn north bc into the toxic wasteland oil sands.

@davidebybc.bsky.social please note that it is only un-Canadian when these projects have resistance in YOUR valuable spaces. It was perfectly Canadian when Smith killed renewables in Alberta because she didn’t want them in HER valuable spaces.

She doesn’t represent me in Alberta. Thank you!

B.C. Premier David Eby is clearly beyond frustrated with Danielle Smith's pipeline dreams threatening the B.C. economy.

In a fiery statement, he called her out directly stating...

"This is not the Danielle Smith show!"
