Lowering tobacco tax to stop the illegal tobacco trade. At last we have a figure for the proposed reduction and it's an absolute doozie. simonchapman6.com/2025/08/07/l...

Biggest march I've ever experienced. Surprised if it was <200k. Orderly, patient, superfriendly, multicultural, all ages. Chris Minns badly misjudged this in his opposition #FreePalistine. Saw not 1 medical emergency, fall, fight.

Trump Gets Rid of Those Pesky Statistics
The numbers were simply not patriotic enough.
Donald Trump has fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The numbers were simply not patriotic enough, and "once these disloyal statisticians are out of the way, the data will finally start to cooperate," @petridishes.bsky.social writes:

@chrisminnsmp.bsky.social's legislation closure orders (up to 12 months) for illegal tobacco very powerful.

If you are using undocumented immigrants' tax records to find and kidnap them, then it was never about them paying taxes.
If you are showing up at their place of employment, then it was never about them not working.
If you are showing up at courthouses, then it was never about getting them to "do it the right way."
If you are kidnapping women and children, then it was never about criminals.
If you're refusing to give them due process, then it was never about the constitution.
If you're spending billions to do this, then it was never about the economy.
And if you're doing all this in the name of a 34 time convicted felon, then it was never about following the law.
Somebody just sent this to me via an email listserve and it is SUCH a zinger. ABSOLUTELY TRUTH RIGHT HERE
