Musk Donates to G.O.P. Members of Congress Who Support Impeaching Judges Amid a controversy over whether President Trump will abide by court rulings, Elon Musk gave the maximum to the campaigns of Republicans who back ousting judges who impede the administration.

The fact that the worldโ€™s richest man works at the behest of the executive and can buy out the legislature is massively outside the scope of what the framers could have imagined

thereโ€™s is simply no constitutional measure that can guard against something like this

Guelph, Ont. artist using meat to make political figure portraits Weโ€™ve all been told not to play with our food but a Guelph, Ont. artist is breaking that rule.

Hoping that @charlieangus104.bsky.social will see this very clever artists depictions of the โ€œMeatheadsโ€. She is a national treasure.

The typical teen spends more time on their phone each day than they spend reading over an entire month. Why are so many parents so concerned about allegedly harmful books instead of the media that children actually consume? thewalrus.ca/book-banning/

I wonโ€™t benefit from this as my kids just started school. We paid a lot for daycare.
AND Iโ€™m so thrilled that so many families will benefit from this. Childcare costs are a huge burden for many. Just because it wonโ€™t benefit me personally, doesnโ€™t mean itโ€™s not worth investing in.

Simply put, the embittered IDU neofascist Stephen Harper is lying through his teeth about Mark Carneyโ€™s achievements in macroeconomic management.
Desperation as piffleswipe Pierre Poilievreโ€™s lead evaporates.
And tone deaf at a time of national crisis.

My latest for @truthout.org reports on librarians who are running for office and taking power. As Ilana Stonebraker says, we need to imagine ourselves as the deciders.

Mr. Harper either has a terrible memory or heโ€™s a liar.
โ€œFinance Minister Jim Flahertyโ€™s face said it all as he publicly, and painfully, acknowledged that the most successful monetary-fiscal duo in the developed world would be no longer. โ€œ Financial Post Nov. 2012
Mark Carney deserves the credit.

I finally gave in and watched the whole exchange, and sadly I recommend it if you want to understand what happened.

The transcript below does not convey how much Trump and Vance constantly talked and shouted over Zelensky. And Trumpโ€™sโ€ฆ segue into other topics at the end should be heard.

The world has witnessed the most disgraceful political tantrum of all time. Trump is not the leader of the "free world." He is convicted felon who doesn't deserve to be in the same room as President Zelenskyy.
There is no going along to get along with this thug.
Canada needs to stand with Ukraine.

Reminder: we are being trained not to care about other people. It underlines the attacks on migrants, on DEI, on trans youth, on so-called "wokeness."

Sure there are legitimate critiques but this is not about critiques. It's about supercharging capitalism's culture of uncare.

I really wish the three other main parties had formed a coalition early.

When they won they could have worked together on fixing Dougโ€™s mess and on electoral reform. Then they could have called an election with proportional representation.

A girl can dream.

Ontario's top bureaucrat criticizes Doug Ford over Washington trip | CBC News Ontario's top bureaucrat is admonishing PC Leader Doug Ford and his staff for allegedly trying to use his Washington D.C. trip last week to the party's advantage in the election campaign.

Doug Ford will do anything to avoid talking to Ontario voters and media, even if it means doing fake negotiations with a junior file clerk and the White House parking attendant.

You called this unnecessary election, Doug. Get back here and defend your record.

Youโ€™re normalizing the rhetoric of a madman whoโ€™s destabilizing democracies worldwide. The title and format are problematic. Providing any kind of medium to discuss this as a possibility is irresponsible. Do you actually think Americans who support the idea will be swayed by your little show?
