What does the "mature" in Mature Asset Strategy stand for? Rusted metal and rotten cement that pollutes ground, water and air; that stinks; that is found on farmers' and ranchers' private land or on our poor tortured public lands.

Trump and company threatening to kill Antifa--which would be what exactly? Anyone holding a sign?

What's a citizen-initiated petition? If Taylor (and friends) can gather the signatures of roughly 177,000 Alberta voters in a 120-day period, and Elections AB verifies them, a govt committee must then prepare a report on the proposal or send it back to Exns AB for a referendum vote. #AbEd

The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.

Alberta's UCP government is quite creative.
If taking a bribe seems too risky, here, have a charter school.

Love it
I can't wait to sign

But what I love the most is that regular Albertans are using Smith's pro-separatist legislation against her

Ode to Neil Young …

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

Wow!
& I see the responses of others explaining medical situations where they have received affordable (~ free) care.
A gentle note, related to this...when I am talking with other 🍁 and taxes come up I often make a subtle comment on how I am happy to pay taxes to support services - dental/med/etc.

One suspects that Trump's bone spurs never caused him to miss a round of golf.

He could’ve fought, but he faked bone spurs. So someone else had to go in his place - most likely a working class kid whose daddy couldn’t afford to bribe a doctor. Now he’s talking shit about how it should’ve been fought.

Did you know?

In politics once your political capital is spent you’re cooked.

Max lifespan in Canada is about 10 years now.

Trudeau took the hint.
Singh lost his seat and took the hint.
Poilievre lost his seat in an election and refuses to accept reality.

It's comforting to see that Poilievre still hasn't learned a single thing from his defeat in Carelton

Texas proudly invading Illinois.

It’s hard to describe the level of potential constitutional crisis here.

I’ve seen a lot of rallies at the Alberta Legislature, but today’s Teachers’ rally had to be the biggest one.

#ForeverCanadian volunteers were there, collecting signatures.

Teachers, thank you for your support!!!

"Build it and they will come." Maybe Danielle Smith and Jason Kenney watched Field of Dreams too many times. Plus, it wasn't about pipelines.

Virginia’s Democratic nominee for attorney general facing pressure over resurfaced text messages | CNN Politics Virginia’s Democratic candidate for attorney general Jay Jones is facing widespread criticism for text messages he sent in 2022 suggesting a colleague should be shot.

I find Jay Jones' texts objectionable, but if you're a journalist in the Trump era—who watched a rich white man say publicly that someone should assassinate Clinton so he could win the presidency, then won the presidency with that rhetoric—and you're giving a Black man grief for *private texts*, GFY

At some point a governor has to mobilize the national guard against participation in Trump's ICE raids & disappearances; SCOTUS will grant Trump the win but calling the question on the state of the exception means contesting his authority anyway. We don't have a constitution while Trump can do this
