Liberal Nate Erskine-Smith says he is ready to go βtoe to toeβ with Premier Doug Ford
Federal MP waiting to run in provincial by-election
βIβm happy to go toe to toe with Doug Ford on absolutely any issue, any time. Thereβs not a debate I will lose to that guy.β
I would pay to watch the debate between Nate & Dumpster Ford! I want to see Nate wipe that smirk off Doug's face!

It's one thing to not get dragged into a war in the Middle East, but I don't know how Canada stays out of an attack within North America on a country we have had uninterrupted commercial and diplomatic relations with since the revolution and despite US embargos.

The Lowry Institute speech was pretty good, too. The Q&A was clarifying.
From what I have stumbled across, he is being treated very seriously by the Aussie press.

Headline and subhed of Washington Post op-ed arguing that there should be more representation of evangelical Christians on the Supreme Court and other government institutions.
Iβm currently writing a book about whatβs really wrong with #SCOTUS and how to fix it.
Suffice it to say, this ainβt it:

Having similarly dealt with far-right characters Iβve reported on engage in stalking / harassing behaviour to the point where lawyers needed to be engaged, I can say Canadaβs laws are completely insufficient to deal with these problems and I have zero trust in the legal system to protect journalists

Between this and Paikin's column it's quite clear Tory is trying to get his columnist pals to clear a path for him to re-enter the race, and it's frankly disgusting.
He stepped down because HE HIMSELF said the affair was an unforgivable breach of the public trust! That's still the case!

Pete Hegseth's murderous buffoonery, coming amid a lifetime in which he's betrayed everyone close to him and failed up from one disaster to the next, is a perfect example of how the appeal of Trumpism is that it creates a permission structure for people to openly be their worst selves

Mind you, I don't believe a word of Platner's story. He knew what it was and he got it on purpose is my bet. But even if I somehow believed that lots of active duty white guys had no idea what imagery is racist, I know there's a fucking book or poster in their unit to tell them what not to do.

okay so this seems pretty clear. he knows what it is, he did it on purpose, he chose keeping it over his career with the Marines, if we know this then Susan Collins will also know it, it will 100% come up in the general, let's be done talking about this guy as a real candidate

I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)

DOJ releases Epstein files with accusations against Trump
Over the course of four interviews in 2019, a woman told the FBI that Epstein and Trump sexually abused her in the 1980s.
βA DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credibleβand that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.β

Perhaps an early (bad) sign of what is to come:
Vinay Prasad, who helped lead a campaign against lifesaving mRNA vaccines at FDA, is being welcomed back to the University of California San Francisco, where he was prior to joining the Trump administration.

There are many, many reasons these types of laws are idiotic, but chief among them has to be demanding the public hand over their IDs and personal information to social media companies - SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANIES, who have not exactly demonstrated a great track record for privacy and safety.

Justice Department publishes documents with sexual assault allegations against Trump
The department shared FBI documents outlining allegations involving Trump.
These allegations of child rape are horrific. They back up the story of Jane Doe, another 13-year-old victim.
The American courts, police, politicians and media know that the President of the United States is an accused child rapist and abuser.
Horrifying.

Pete Hegseth claims Donald Trump has renamed the map of North America.
Prior to the Ukraine invasion, Putin used the same tactics. He claimed that Ukraine was not an independent nation - just part of greater Russia.
Fuck your greater America Trump. You are a criminal.

Reports come out detailing how the Russians are supplying intelligence to Iran on US military actions, so naturally the Trump administration wants to reward the Russians.

Seeing a lot of confused narratives.
Neocons hate Cuba because, when the US doesn't fuck with it, Cuba gives its 10 million people good lives and lets entrepreneurs succeed while delivering "free" world-class education, healthcare and pharma.

Having been elected on it, he would have to be an idiot to deprioritize intelligence and security while negotiating and signing intelligence and security agreements with countries all over the world. He is not an idiot.
