Donald Trump has used up almost all of the United States’ long-range missiles to increase all of the United States’ gas prices. He’s smart that way.
The U.S. Senate is about to advance the nomination of a man who has helped Trump unconstitutionally evade releasing the Epstein files, and tried to use federal funds to pay insurrectionists. If the purpose of the U.S. Senate is to defend against tyranny, it has failed in its purpose.

Let's start with the Epstein files ... "

Yep. Earlier this year I was interviewed by Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media is aiding the Trump administration’s Epstein cover up.
The New Republic@newrepublic.com · yesterdayBanks permitted millions in suspicious transactions tied to Epstein—and former 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi had the story months ago. But the report would never air. trib.al/ZShZlIS

The Alberta Energy Regulator is supposed to ensure that energy resources are developed responsibly. That should include environmental impact. It is obvious that they rubber stamp every energy project no matter what the environmental consequences. They have no credibility.

Carney is not perfect and I don't agree with everything that he does but I appreciate his calm resolution focused responses to Trump's attempts to financially attack Canada.
Mark Carney@mark-carney.bsky.social · 4d agoWe’re going to expand the Port of Vancouver. That will create 17,000 good jobs and make it easier to sell Canadian goods to new markets around the world.
It really really really bugs me how many people simply do not understand what it means when the government tries to convict you even IF THEY FAIL TO DO IT. Do you know how many thousands of dollars in legal fees it costs? You will most likely lose your job. You might lose your home.
I worry that most cynical among us, hopped up on 30 years of law and order rhetoric, will say "this is the system working: he didn't do anything wrong and now he's free." As if the terror and wide-scale publicity of an arrest and federal prosecution is not a horrible punishment in and of itself.
