“may declare” Meantime his bonkers tariffs are putting the problem on steroids
Piss off. I voted for the former head of the Bank of England and Bank of Canada to avoid a fascist. I picked the better of the two parties but that does not mean I support all their actions Like this abomination www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
Mark Carney, former head of Bank of England and Bank of Canada. I voted for this and it’s absolutely NOT what I want. But I picked the better of the two parties: Natural resources minister presses case for Canadian LNG exports to Europe | CBC News www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
I pick on maga with much more frequency
I think he’s playing the long game, attracting their attention which can weaken the cult spell. Dems should develop a version of project 2025 for 2027, regardless of who wins the primary there should be a detailed plan to achieve a strong future for all Americans (Canada might be an inspiration)
I hope you are making that case directly to those involved, not just here on social media
Kamala wasn’t perfect enough
Voting for a Democrat won’t do that
Beating the heritage foundation, you?
I held my nose and voted for banker to avoid electing a fascist. The banker won
I held my nose and voted for a banker to avoid a fascist while the world burns.
voters may flock to a party that commits to controlling the temperature in a project 2028 document - with a timeline of the steps they will take to address all concerns, regardless of who wins the primary
If he actually did that he likely won’t win the primary, (I don’t see all American media) but I find it helpful to remember the enemy of my enemy is my friend- and Governor N is making a considerable impact. JB for president with N as vp could be a winning ticket
What are you talking about
The boiling frogs have two parties- only one shows promise of giving civil rights to all - if it wins- the other is a dictatorship. Go high this election Captain and you take the planet with you when you fall off your high horse. 🇨🇦
I sure hope we are wrong
If you are referring to me that’s silly. Canadians may not understand American politics (who does!) but we aren’t bots
I am Canadian watching the frogs boiling as they tear each other apart three freaking years before an election. We do it in three months. Less collateral damage. At this moment in time elevate all your champions ffs

Here we go again (Dems lose because unlike republicans they insist on electing the perfect human rather than someone who can simply win)
Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer is headed to the Ocean State, likely to spout talking points about how Trump is “putting workers first.” She should try telling that to the thousands of union workers who Trump just fired through his stop-work order on a nearly complete wind farm in Rhode Island.
"The visible health problems of the oldest president in American history barely registered in mainstream coverage," writes @passantino.bsky.social for Status_. But @nytimes.com 🐔, @wsj.com 🐔🐔 & other major outlets published dozens of stories about Biden's physical fitness while he was in office.
Climate change comes at bridges, roadways, buildings. Republicans with pockets stuffed with fossil fuel money pretend it isn’t real.
Joe Biden’s no longer president so the media has moved on from caring about such things Much like inflation and budget deficits
Conservative MP’s clearly need a better leader, PP is only focused on himself
Bingo
His affluent dinner guests got sold a hill of beans, he’s more interested in having every last one of us (them included) grovel and beg at his swollen feet
But But BUT! MAGA said three YEARS of on the job training wasn’t enough for Biden’s VP - and she didn’t take vacation every other week like VP JD
Hello, everyone. Today, thanks to @sbg1.bsky.social and @newyorker.com, I learned a new word. The word is: "butt-snorkeler."
Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.
Behold. The festering carcasses of American rot all shoved into ill-fitting suits.
As a whole, CDC employees are dedicated public servants whose service protects the health of every American. For them to be maligned by RFK2 is not only disgraceful, it jeopardizes their safety and the safety of all Americans. @apha.org
Protecting public health means protecting our climate. Together with faith and community leaders, we're calling on federal leaders to put safety first and move swiftly to clean energy. ecoamerica.org/an-america-t... #HurricaneKatrina
Who else expects republicans to give pedophiles and sex traffickers obscene signing bonuses to staff the kiddie camps
A posthumous and “unsparing” memoir by one of Jeffrey Epstein’s most prominent accusers, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, will be published this fall, publishing house Alfred A. Knopf said Sunday. apnews.com/article/virg...
ICYMI: Tesla may have been founded on green principles, and it may have received billions in company-saving climate subsidies. But following Elon Musk's recent heel turn, Teslas' onboard Grok AI is now outfitted with a "personality" setting that makes it spew climate conspiracies.
Another read is not that SCOTUS is shy about confronting Trump but that they're basically on board with his project but would be embarrassed about the legal arguments they'd have to make if they upheld his actions on the merits, so they find procedural means to let him get his way.
It’s up to the discretion of RFK Jr to define what ”medically frail” is when it comes to potential Medicaid work requirement exemptions—which may play a huge role in deciding which chronically ill and disabled people could qualify. My latest for @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
We’re calling on U.S. DOJ to cease its attacks on NY AG James & other political targets. Every aspect of the investigation against AG James makes plain it’s not rooted in any legitimate suspicion of wrongdoing. The wheels of justice must never become a tool of political & personal retribution.
Did she think last year it was the duty of judges to respect the wishes of Joe Biden?
We’re now at this stage where they say, hey remember that deferred resignation we forced you to take? Well, turns out we’re having a hard time running things with so few people so …. federalnewsnetwork.com/workforce/20...
"Fixing" the world of institutional research by doing what the Trump administration is doing to it is like burning down your house to kill a fly. But of course, it's not about that anyway.
MEIDAS CANADA. COMING SOON. 🇨🇦
Yay ! Welcome to Canada @meidastouch.com we need your expert reporting !!! 🇨🇦 Thanks to @charlieangus104.bsky.social
we're speedrunning a return to the 19th century, in all the ways
Texas Dem Who Rejected Authoritarian Tactics Threatened With Felony Texas State Representative Nicole Collier was in a bathroom when law enforcement reportedly told her to leave. newrepublic.com/post/199362/...
Authoritarianism in plain sight. Texas Rep. Nicole Collier was forced by police to hang up on a press call after being threatened with a felony arrest—for daring to speak. She can’t be in the bathroom, can’t be on the floor, can’t even talk to the press without GOP cops breathing down her neck.
Call this what it is: racist! Trump plans to rewrite history, scrubbing “woke exhibits” he claims focus too much on “how bad slavery was.” WOKE: Born in the Black community, meaning alert to racism, injustice & systemic oppression. Hijacked by the right to attack Black folks. Offensive as hell.
U.S. Army vet George Retes was tear-gassed, dragged from his car, and held by ICE for 3 days; no lawyer, no calls, no reason. He’s a citizen. #AbolishICE #StateViolence #ICEWatch #HumanRights #Fascism #4R
Just as well they were in Canada and not Trumps Republican nightmare
David why not check before tarring them all with the same brush. Why undermine Dems when the republicans are going insane ? Why
Good luck explaining to your grandchildren why we crossed known climate tipping points. “Oh, we wanted to let big companies pollute for free,” won’t have much appeal.
Yes, but Trump’s propaganda narrative is worse…. instead of Theresienstadt he speaks of Alligator Alcatraz and flights to hellhole countries. www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...
My law firm is currently litigating 50 voting and election cases in 22 states. Here are the states with the most cases: GA, AZ, FL, NC, LA, MT, NV, WI. The fight for free and fair elections is the fight for democracy. Please, pay attention.

🚨Alberta's COVID vaccine policy: Why we are concerned www.albertadoctors.org/news/publica... @albertadoctors.bsky.social We "advocate strongly for a policy that protects public health, follows the best available scientific evidence and removes barriers to vaccination for those who need it most."
ffs, RFK Jr is evil personified
Yes, and the media’s lying drumbeat trashed Biden’s economy and brainwashed the masses into believing things were far worse than they were.
Japanese homes are often considered depreciating assets, good luck getting our pension plans to accept that. CMHC and the National Housing Council have put the total stock of social housing in Canada at 3.5%. -Japan is 7.1

“...disinformation, conspiracy theories & political violence is getting scarier by the day. I’m very worried about how this is now going beyond defunding of infectious diseases & public health to political violence against the people working in those fields." www.nytimes.com/2025/08/09/u...
American protest hidden behind a MAGA curtain.
Something that hasn’t happened in Canada. Hey gave you seen their transportation systems? Miles ahead of us.
Some have the abundance bug
The private market will never build the surplus you desire, it chokes the second rents go down. We need considerably more non-market housing
It makes sense once you realize that every accusation is a confession.
"The scientists, responsible for authoring or contributing research to hundreds of peer-reviewed studies, want to counter what they interpret as the Trump administration’s attempts to wipe credible, widely accepted climate science off the record." Thank you!! www.cnn.com/2025/08/08/c....

The simple way Democrats should talk about Trump and Epstein | Peter Rothpletz | It goes like this: Trump protects elites. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
RFK wants to lean into “whole cell” vaccine technology, which has existed for decades, comes with increased risk of side effects and can take years to develop. mRNA vaccine technology comes with far decreased risk of side effects and can take mere months to develop. Make it make sense!
This is on the f*cking senate republicans that confirmed RFK Jr.
Those mRNA vaccine programs that RFK Jr. is killing because he claims they don't work? The people who invented them got the f***ing Nobel Prize. And they've saved literally millions of lives already. www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...
I apologize for swearing but--are you fucking kidding me??? The NYT thinks that judges refusing to give Trump's DOJ the benefit of the doubt is "eroding the healthy functioning of the courts." For democracy to survive, judges need to be more skeptical and impose greater sanctions for DOJ's lies.
Damn them for all time for not caring that he’s a child trafficker.

Makeup on the hands (to hide the bruising) may rub off when dressing -keeping up appearances can be quite onerous..
Trump: “We’ll be putting a initially small tariff on pharmaceuticals. But in one year, one and a half years maximum, it’s going to go to 150%, and then it’s going to go to 250%, because we want pharmaceuticals made in our country.”
My grandmother’s were like that too.
Elite protector Trump: “The president and the GOP protect the elite at the expense of ordinary Americans.” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
the recently spotted fat ankles are also indicative
It's so funny the guy who claims to have lowered drug prices by 1500% says he fired the head of BLS because she was bad at statistics.
2 yrs after Trump claimed Virginia Giuffre was “stolen” from him, he praised Epstein in NY Mag, saying he was a “great guy” who liked women “on the younger side.” No falling out. The prosecutor who cut Epstein a deal? Trump made him labor secretary. It’s clear: Epstein was a predator & so is Trump.
But Texas Republicans are now attempting to redistrict MID-DECADE because Donald Trump is demanding it. That's what makes this situation different. National reporters need to understand and make this distinction.
Nothing quite like a province throwing their residents under the bus. Note they tout the gas the one energy plant as green power lol. Alberta Municipality Declares Farm Disaster Due to Drought, Approves Water-Guzzling Data Centre Plan share.google/qBDkeuGWsK93...
As Peter Rothpletz says, Trump protects elites
Then last week, he told a podcaster that he's looking at paying upwards of $600k because of tariffs. The reason? He imports equipment and steel to make those knives. Even if you make the machines in the United States, you will pay more. Many people don't realize how much they import.
That egg just got very expensive
What show, what time? We simply can’t make a complaint based on the info provided. (Google failed to bring anything up for me)
It’s the same as childhood covid deaths - blame them on pre-existing conditions while medical experts are accused of fudging facts - to create outrage rather than reflection
