Ken Paxton keeps dodging debates. So I called his cell to invite him to a debate on Fox News. He didn’t pick up.

Gosh, folks. I can’t figure out who to support here. The guy whose military snipers shoot children and who bombs innocent people in their homes or the guy who fixes potholes and feeds the hungry.
Netanyahu directly attacks Zohran Mamdani (and his wife) from the UNGA podium, calling him the "antisemitic mayor of New York City," parroting The Free Press's stories about Rama Duwaji, tying Mamdani to Hasan Piker, and claiming the mayor is "buddies" with Hamas.
Aww look at the UN seating arrangement: UK and France had a baby and that baby was Canada and we even get to sit together 😍
It's been two weeks straight of seeing Mark Carney every day in the news... I just want the man to go home and have a nap. He must be exhausted.
Of course it is. We need to stop pretending that bombs and tanks can only happen in the "Old World." Trump talks about Canada the way Hitler talked about Poland and Putin talked about Ukraine. Too many people are laughing that off. I don't, and I'm glad Carney isn't.
Carney prepared for risk that Trump might order U.S. to invade Canada. Expert says it’s a valid concern nationalpost.com/news/carney-...
This is so mean 😂😂 @donrocko.bsky.social
PM Carney: "I'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate the Leader of the Opposition on his 20th anniversary of the HOC. We will build Canada strong ... they will have an opportunity to join us, and he will have an opportunity to do something for the first time in two decades." 🔥😂
I've seen the arguments 16,499 Canadians were killed by "the government" instead of CHOOSING to die humanly because they are terminal and the process of dying is slow and painful. We are kinder to our dying pets than our dying family members, and I, for one, support the right to chose.
This is how the November election will go, btw Even if democrats are elected in a blue wave, the current admin isn't letting them back in. They've been defying court orders since day one, it won't change when it's most important.
Reporters for Politico, CNN and MS NOW were still barred from the White House hours after a federal judge ordered their access restored.
to be clear, the admin is alleged to have deported AT LEAST 25,447 individuals TO COUNTRIES THAT ARE NOT THEIR OWN with, evidently, ZERO PROTECTIONS. this is a scandal and crime of historic proportions.
The Deportation Project Map
Between 2025 and August 2026, the Trump administration deported over 25,000 people to countries other than their country of origin. Very few of these removals were publicly announced by the US. The De...

the @forbidden-stories.bsky.social investigation is so deeply important. put the illegality to one side. the trump admin is brazenly sending ppl to third countries, lacking any cxn, without any guarantee they won't be sent on for torture, abuse, persecution... it's horrible.
This is an absolute disaster from a national security perspective. Obviously, a lot on F-35s is classified, but a weapons-bay door and a canopy with radar-absorbing material are some of the most sensitive. Hard to describe how bad this is.
Not me googling "extreme tail risk" (it's a super unlikely catastrophic event... which, yeah, war would be that for sure.)
PM Mark Carney says he studied the possibility of U.S.-led military action in 🇨🇦. In a lengthy NY Times interview published Wednesday, Carney declined to discuss in detail what that examination involved, but he suggested it would be irresponsible not to prepare for what he called "extreme tail risk."
I feel like the only person who didn't know this was RFK JR.
An umbrella review of more than 3 million participants finds the apparent risk shrinks toward zero as study quality rises.

Thanks to everyone from across Canada and the world who spoke up about changing the name of Trump Avenue in Ottawa. We don't name streets after gangsters and sexual predators. Good work people. www.ctvnews.ca/ottawa/artic...
Trump Avenue in Ottawa’s Central Park neighbourhood to be renamed
A street in Canada’s capital bearing the name of the current U.S. president will be renamed.

Well, he didn't swear, but he did say on a rocket/missle 😂 He says it at the very very end
😵💫 Russian Journalists: When to Moscow? 🇺🇦 Zelensky: On a missile, b*tch! 😄
Climate Week is here in New York City, and our work has deep roots. 18,261 trees planted this year. The most in a decade.
Zelenskyy at the UN: "Ukrainians understand that this winter could be very harsh for us, but in response we will have no choice but to make it harsh for Russia too"
Mamdani stares into the middle distance as Trump responds to a question about his ban on the free press by ranting about his economic record and how great his war in Iran is going
So they really are going to make Terminators (Why is it always dystopia all the time?)
Anthropic set up a wet lab in San Francisco to start automating biological and if you think that’s scary and want to know what they’ve already been up to…no you don’t.
This UNGA, we welcomed mayors from around the world to exchange ideas and share in our successes — from highlighting how Los Deliveristas are fighting for dignity and rights on the job, to seeing new life return to our waterways, and welcoming New Yorkers into affordable housing at Glenmore Manor.
LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"
33 years ago Canada fought its biggest battle since Korea. It was to protect defenceless villagers from mass killing. But the Canadian government tried to suppress this heroism and told the soldiers to keep silent. My reflections on Medak Pocket. charlieangus.substack.com/p/when-canad...
WHEN CANADA FOUGHT TO KEEP THE PEACE
Medak Pocket was a moment when Canadian volunteers put themselves in serious danger to protect defenceless citizens from war crimes.

Be Trump: Go to the UN, which was created to maintain international peace And casually mention annihilating another country 🤦♀️
Trump to the UN: "Do I annihilate the Islamic Republic, and do it quickly? Do I drive them into hell?"
I feel terrible for Zelenskyy Like give the man a break and let him avoid Trump
Trump, sitting next to Zelenskyy, again threatens to "obliterate" Iran
