The U.S. government admits it sent someone to an El Salvador prison by accident, against a judge's orders, and they claim they have no jurisdiction to return him home.
This is a five alarm fire for democracy. For society. For human decency. It's scarier than the tariffs.

Are they incapable or are they unwilling? Which is it? Tariffs until we know for sure.
We need to dispel some rumors. There is ZERO fentanyl trafficking on both of our HIMI islands. In fact, while our Gentoo penguins can travel hundreds of miles to bring partners their favorite pebble, they are incapable and unwilling of carrying even an ounce of illicit drugs.

A rando low-level subnational politician has no influence on any of it.
This is why conservatives are blowing a 25pt lead. Delusional, the lot of them.

Popsicles for sick kids are medicine. Food in the emergency department is medicine. Actions like these are more than heartless, they are part of a dismantling of care to purposefully create more misery.
Create misery, drive money to the private system, line the pockets of their friends.

Hey Alberta, let's talk about this 👇
Honestly? Has the govt lost what it means to provide the CARE in Health Care?🧵
We are currently starving many of our stranded ED hallway pts, but maybe ABs will rise up when they see we are denying kids w cancer?

Danielle Smith claims flying to Florida to pose with Ben Shapiro is “going into the lion’s den”.
The truth is, it’s a trip to a Republican safe space, a far-right fundraiser & more about pumping the Premier’s ego than promoting Alberta.

She says she asked US officials to hold off on tariffs until a prime minister is given a mandate in an election - adding she hopes that will still happen.

Every UCP MLA will answer this question in the coming days. Whether they oust her or not.
It would be great to get the Calgary Chamber of Commerce, CAPP and other Calgary powerbrokers on record about whether they’re on Team Maple MAGA, or if they’ll condemn treason.
This is the clearest evidence yet that the UCP considers itself a northern wing of the MAGA movement. From the leader, herself.
I suspect there are serious national security discussions about cutting Alberta out of foreign relations entirely, after hearing this.
