I can't wait to pass it by in the thrift store and STILL not buy it!
Is misrepresentation for gain, not considered fraud? I thought Canada had fairly strict regulations for labeling, etc. If @mark-carney.bsky.social wants us to buy Canadian, he needs to ensure bad actors aren't preventing us from doing so with their sneaky tactics.
Heaven forbid that the big Canadian grocery chains are penalized for lying to Canadians...... @mark-carney.bsky.social @liberalca.bsky.social www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

Let's not forget the role of the Federalist Society They should never be let off the hook for this
We do not fully grasp how damaging the SCOTUS’ presidential immunity decision was. What we know is it was a disaster and the huge damage it has caused is being compounded daily. That is because the result is a collaboration between corrupt justices, a supine Congress and a demented President.

I don't get how people don't realize that a technology that replaces junior and entry level positions in a field destroys that field. There's no skipping steps. You have to be a junior before you can be a senior, and if you don't have senior people, you don't have a field.

Generations of workers in America bled and died to win dignity on the job. They stood together against those who refused to recognize their humanity. On Labor Day, as fascism rises again, we honor those who came before us and carry forward their spirit of solidarity & defiance. Fight like hell. ✊
Mainly Canadians know about IDU, because of Harper. The rest of the world is oblivious. Modi's party (India) used to be a member, but was scrubbed from IDU's Website after assassination plot in Canada. Mike Roman was co-chair, but he was scrubbed too after being indicted in US (election fraud).
The mental fitness of elderly Presidents has been such an important issue for the media lately, so I expect wall-to-wall coverage of how President Trump has once again thrown a fit about one of his own signature policies, showing no awareness of how it arose or who executed it.
Andrea has been planning her after-Trump piece for weeks. It coming out last Thursday, right as Vance was bragging that 200 days as VP prepared him to succeed Trump, was a wild coincidence. But if you want to give some meaning to the "Is the dictator dead yet?!" game, I hope you'll watch this.

When Trump does go, the internecine warfare is going to be spectacular. They'll be knives out, stabbing each other in the back.

Pretty sure Dude had a massive stroke. He probably cant talk. Which means the focus should be getting his cabinet and especially Vance on record asking if they have had a verbal conversation with him. Covering up his stroke, would be impeachable. Go after Vance.
If he DOES come back for a press briefing, first question should be EPSTEIN, EPSTEIN, EPSTEIN. And as a follow up, EPSTEIN.
JB Pritzker to CBS on Trump deploying troops: "He'd like to stop the elections in 2026 or, frankly, take control of those elections. He'll just claim that there's some problem with an election, and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control if, in fact, he's allowed to do this."

Trump's lifting of the de minimis exception for duties on goods under $800 coming from Canada to the US is literally ending the livelihoods of thousands of Canadians. It sucks that you can't get LEGO but it's WAY bigger than that - & Canada is paying even in this way for American MAGA voter idiocy
Thanks to America’s ever shifting trade policies and Trump, LEGO has stopped shipping more than 2,500 pieces from its Pick a Brick program to both the United States and Canada. 🔗 www.404media.co/lego-stops-s...
Yet again, Canada pays for the worst American decisions
Yup. He’s spent over 60 years of presidential salary golfing, in just 7 months.
If that’s him, he’s pumped full of steroids Maybe #PedoTrump is golfing this AM but this is much funnier #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles
MAGAS waiting to defend Trump spending hundreds of millions so their Orange Godking can play golf all while complaining about prices going up
Even if he dies, SCOTUS will say he’s allowed to live again, so.

NEW: Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” will hand out $67 BILLION to companies next year to "incentivize" research these companies did YEARS ago. That means next year, the federal government will spend five times more on these handouts than what it spends annually on child care.

We don’t play those games. Our commitment to law and order is delivering results. Crime rates are improving. Homicides are down by more than 30% in Chicago in the last year alone. Our progress in lowering crime has been made possible with CIV programs that they’re defunding.
Trump’s goal is to incite fear in our communities and destabilize existing public safety efforts — all to create a justification to further abuse his power. He’s playing a game and creating a spectacle for the press to play along with.
As Donald Trump attempts to create chaos that distracts from his problems, we’ll call it out for what it is. Trump and Republicans are trying to distract from the pain they’re causing — from tariffs raising the prices of goods to stripping away healthcare and food from millions.
North Korea is believed to have sent about 15,000 troops to help Russia in its war with Ukraine.
