Trump has never wavered in his threats against Canada. What we learn from Ukraine is that the undermining of sovereignty, psychological psyops, supporting Donbas-style separatists is the playbook to take down a nation.

Drinks at 10 am and refuses to wear a seat belt, but will be a member of Cabinet and have oversight for a part of federal law enforcement? Sounds about right for the tRump administration. Here, for your entertainment…
Dee writes: “Perhaps if he didn't kill anyone when he had his accident.” As others have noted, where does it say anyone died in Emt’s accident? Are readers confusing the word “fateful” with “fatal”?
“An organization that has been fighting against religious extremism in the United States military for two decades has reported more than 200 new complaints since Saturday…. [w/ military personnel] claiming that high-ranking officers are tying the mission overseas to fulfilling a Christian prophecy.”
On day one of the war 165 children were murdered in a terror bombing of a school.
At one time such an atrocity would result in widespread condemnation.
Not any more.
We remain silent at our peril.

PSA: Are you a US service member opposed to the attack on Iran? Not interested in dying for trump’s ego? Do some reading. Go to the doctor. Obtain a Dx of gender dysphoria. Give it to your commanding officer and tell them that you must be discharged.

Every American deserves to be able to drive a car, earn a living, rent an apartment, and vote — free from harassment and violence.
That includes trans people. https://www.ms.now/opinion/kansas-drivers-license-anti-transgender-law
If the United States is going to go around the world causing regime changes, we should practice here first.
Would I vote for presidential candidate @governor.ca.gov in 2028?
"...Newsom called for his party to be 'culturally normal,' and specifically to stop 'spending a disproportionate amount of time on pronouns [and] identity politics.'"
In a word? No.
Having immigrated to Canada in 2008, during the Harper government, and remembering Kenney from that period, I have little to no use for him. However, I found this interview worth hearing. It’s best if one can see through some of his rhetoric, but interesting nonetheless.
Hillary Clinton’s fire and fury opening statement to the House Oversight Committee.
Let me be sure that I have this right. During the SOTU, the men’s Olympic hockey team was celebrated while standing in the gallery of the House Chamber. Also during the SOTU, Aliya Rahman was arrested for standing in the gallery of the House Chamber during the SOTU. Do I have that right? 🤯
By merely standing in the gallery “…Rahman ‘started demonstrating’, which violated rules for the event, according to the Capitol police. ‘The guest was told to sit down, but refused to obey our lawful orders,’ the police said…Rahman was arrested for unlawful conduct and disruption of Congress...”
Love it!
Is escaping to Canada for a bit appealing? US citizens can visit for six months. My neighbours in the beautiful South Shore are renting their place and a 6 mo term is an option. Be sure to read the details about what the rent includes. Also, $2,600 CAD is, about $1,900 USD.
That he speaks aloud of the notion that a justice could be “disloyal” (toward him) in their interpretation of the law shows:
a) his ignorance of their role
b) his stupidity, generally
c) his narcissism
d) all of the above
Canada's ongoing defiance of Trump has infuriated the US. The PM's speech at Davos made Trump look isolated and weak on the global stage.
There will be payback. Canadians must prepare for all scenarios including military intimidation.

Robbed.
Robbed. Canada played the better game. Sadly, better game doesn’t always equal winning game. 🇨🇦❤️
Just happened to me the other day at Superstore. Shelf label said $4.00, rang up at $4.99 = free! I had forgotten about this policy and was really surprised. 👍
Wow. Literal goosebumps.
There are many faces missing from this list. Still hoping for something even vaguely resembling accountability. Sigh…
Wait, did the SAVE Act already pass and they forgot to tell voters? No!
I’m going to need an update on this. I hope she was able to cast her ballot in the primary.
Texans, if this is happening to you, post your story with the polling location. Put it on blast. And report it.
Shocked?
That DHS lied? No, not at all. That the charges were dismissed? As they say in Minnesota, you betcha.
