In Chicago, a priest raised his hands in prayer and ICE shot him in the head at point-blank range as he crumbled to the ground. The ammunition was not lethal, but it was targeted at a man who only wished for the violence against law-abiding citizens to end.

If a misdemeanour in another country is reason enough to arrest and deport someone, then surely 34 felonies and multiple assault charges in your own country should stop you from being president of it.

One might think.
If one thought.

CNN: The judge presiding over the prosecution of Jim Comey has agreed to Comey’s request to schedule a near term trial. Comey asked for a Jan 12 trial date. The judge went with Jan 5. Comey is counting on the gov’t not being ready for trial. A good bet.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

For 340 or so million people, 2 parties is not enough to represent everyone. Americans deserve better. Replacing terrible politicians with new & qualified experienced people would be a breath of fresh air. Almost all Governments change all the time. Change can be good.

1,000+ people currently imprisoned in Louisiana were convicted by split juries — ruled unconstitutional in 2020.

Yet the state Supreme Court has declined to grant new trials, and lawmakers have repeatedly denied a reexamination of their cases.

Five years ago, the Supreme Court decided that nonunanimous jury verdicts are unconstitutional. But for this Louisiana prisoner — and hundreds of others — “tough on crime” state leaders have ensured t...

Most parents don’t work 9-3 and may end up scrambling to pick up their kids after school.

We’ve introduced legislation that, if passed, would allow school districts to offer seamless child care before and after school, on school grounds.

These are very bad numbers for CPC leader Pierre Poilievre.

His return to the HoC should’ve been accompanied by an increase in his favourability, but he’s not increased his polling beyond margin of error.

The theatrical pandering to the base he’s doing in QP isn’t helping him. At all.

This image was made by a
neurologist from Japan. It remains still when you're calm, moves a little when youre little stress & mimics a carousel when under high stress. It’s absolutely still, for me, right now, what about YOU? Does it move at all?
