Oh Canada! Democrat or Republican, may the next president be as competent, intelligent and brave as Mr. Carney. Alas neither party has candidates of his caliber. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/22/w...
Carney Stands Up to Trump in U.S.-Canada Trade War
Canada’s prime minister walked away from what he thought was a bad trade deal with the United States. Many Canadians are behind him, but it will be costly.

In Confirming Blanche, Senators Endorse a Justice Dept. Under Trump’s Sway
Time and again, Todd Blanche has made it clear that he believes President Trump possesses a nearly limitless right to directly control the actions of the Justice Department.

If a scientist can be held in contempt of congress for doing their job and telling the truth, then congress deserves every bit of that contempt.

I prefer an e-reader these days, but I appreciate the sentiment this carries.
The only reason Miller is still alive is because his wife is a good, courageous person and did not put strychnine in his dinner. If this is a hint for whoever cooks his next dinner, well...

When enough rain falls in Maltahöhe, Namibia, millions of desert lilies bloom across the landscape for just a few days each year. This natural phenomenon briefly transforms the arid desert into a sea of flowers almost overnight. IG: @ earthpix
I propose a swap: Alberta for the west coast. Both can’t stand the rest. Long live Cascadia!

There is an inflation of words. In this AI era people like the sound of their own words, so they read what the AI told them out loud for hours... and an AI listens then summarizes. Why not just write the summary in the first place?! #ai
He had multiple opportunities to prevent this and deliberately pissed them away.
The biggest difference between Greenland and Donald Trump is that Greenland is not for sale. 🔥 ~ Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN)
President Emmanuel Macron: “Where Ukraine was eminently dependent on American intelligence capabilities by an overwhelming majority a year ago, today two-thirds are provided by France. Two-thirds.”
At least 2 Senators have said "All Powell has to do is talk to Pirro and tell her he's going to resign and Trump will drop the charges." So here we have 2 sitting US Senators admitting the President is illegally extorting the chairman of The Fed. Admitting crimes out loud, on TV. WTAF.
This has been the plan all along. - Foment violence and chaos in the streets of MN - Implement the Insurrection Act - Declare Martial Law - Suspend elections

If it wasn't clear enough, it is now... The law is made by those who carry the biggest stick. The rest of us are subjects. Maduro is a dictator, but today is his turn, and tomorrow? Everyone and the EU in particular will now look for their own very large stick..., consequences be damned #maduro
The value of airmiles is abysmal nowadays: about $0.012/mile. That's the best I could get out of the major alliances for the routes I needed. I flew ≈30 times this year. Upgrades: 1, on the shortest route. Lounge access: yes in theory, once in practice because of overcrowding. #travel
Argentina is a relatively well-off country with currency issues - also with full healthcare for all its citizens. The US administration is supposedly bailing out their currency to the tune of $40B. In comparison, the jettisoned USAID budget, used for programs to keep people fed and alive, was $32B.
Civil rights and freedom. Pluralism and nonviolent protest. The values Americans cherish are under assault by Donald Trump. THIS IS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, and California will keep peacefully pushing back against the Trump Administration's authoritarian takeover.
I cannot look at this gestapo bitch without thinking she watched videos of children being raped by powerful rich men, and she chose to protect these scumbags.
