They're literally doing the meme.

There's no standing for states to sue over that EO yet because it's just the president of the United States officially proclaiming his order to illegally interference in state elections, and you have to wait and see how and if agencies actually follow what he said first, is pants-on-head lunacy.

I feel like the kids who did poorly in science and history class are trying to get revenge on the kids who did well at science and history class and now we’re all going to die

Americans hear "51st state" as Trump trolling. Canadians hear it as an existential threat to their sovereignty. That gap in perception is why Carney can't afford to look conciliatory, even if the economics of retaliation don't add up. This isn't just a trade war anymore.

In Gary, Indiana, without refrigeration insulin supplies are being spoiled, and people who depend on oxygen cannot pump it from their tanks due to lack of electricity. A public health disaster.

This is my theory of most of our problems right now, and specially, the oligarchy and AI intersection of problems

One of the biggest reasons Abdul's election to the US Senate would be seismic is because he'd be one of the only people in that chamber of Congress who is willing to say the plain and open truth about Egypt and Pakistan.
