IAEA chief Rafael Grossi says a local ceasefire is in place around the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant to repair damaged power lines. Repairs have begun and are being monitored by the IAEA, creating a temporary “window of silence” to reduce nuclear risk during the war.

Zelensky thanked Canadian PM Mark Carney after talks in Canada, including joint calls with European leaders. Zelensky stressed Russia rejected even a Christmas ceasefire and continues brutal missile and drone strikes, showing its real attitude toward diplomacy. He welcomed Canada’s new aid package.

I just taught my lecture course on mid-20th c US history, which starts with Harding and concludes with Nixon.

For the first time, I had to pause and stress that those scandals were actually shocking at the time and, what’s more, that Americans actually demanded people be held accountable.
All of the money that changed hands in the Teapot Dome scandal totaled less than $10 million after adjusting for inflation, and it was considered so corrupt we still teach it in high school government classes a century later.
Corruption so pungent, it wafts right off the page:

Lobbyists who do pardon deals “say their going rate is $1 million. Pardon-seekers have offered some lobbyists close to the president success fees of as much as $6 million if they can close the deal.”

Actually it’s more like “I may have stolen your social security money that you’ve PAID into your entire life so you need to work til you die so nobody finds out”

Hard NO! It is OUR money that we have PAID so hands off. It’s not a benefit because I’m pretty sure I will never get back what I put in.
Not everyone has the luxury of sitting in front of a microphone in their basement spouting a few hours of fascist bullshit a few times a week.

The problem I see with this is, he’s been doing it for months now, right out in the open. So obvious but it is now an “OMG” moment that we’re all supposed to be surprised and shocked?
WSJ is complicit. All MSM is complicit. Complicit with all his crimes. All they do is kiss lower each time. Idiots
If this is true, it is the most impeachable offense ever.

The third paragraph reads as if the Russians wrote it. Maybe they did. In any event, it is an atrociously big lie; 1984-grade, as Aaron Rupar rightly says.
War is peace. Russia is fully committed to peace in Ukraine.

"It doesn't matter if it's the most sacred site known to any First Nation — it simply doesn't matter any longer, because the priority has been given to developers."

Add this to Doug Ford's long history of disrespect for First Nations.

Why would a large majority of Canadians agree that the Conservatives should remove Pierre Poilievre as party leader?

It seems to me that, as long as Pierre Poilievre is the leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, the CPC is UNlikely to win an upcoming federal election.
