This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

A refresher on Donald Trump’s Rules for Governing:

Step 1: Create crisis
Step 2: Blame Democrats
Step 3: Rant on Truth Social
Step 4: Profit from crisis
Step 5: Claim to resolve crisis
Step 6: Declare victory
Step 7: Golf
Step 8: Repeat

At approximately six-thirty on Tuesday evening, Joseph Morton, the Washington correspondent for The Dallas Morning News and the White House pooler on duty, tapped out a short email about the press being on the move and hit send. The crux of the email was fairly innocuous. It said that the White House pool, a small group of reporters designated to cover an event on behalf of the larger press corps, had been “loaded into the press vans” and was following Donald Trump “to the NRCC dinner at the National Building Museum.” But it also noted something else: “A reporter and photographer with The Associated Press were turned away from joining the pool.”

It was likely that sentence, which came after a judge had ordered the administration to restore the AP’s access, that irked the White House. That specific pool report from Morton, I’ve learned, was never distributed by the White House to news outlets subscribed to its pool report mailing list—a notable omission and a clear break from precedent.

-Trump bans the AP from the White House press pool

-Judge orders AP be allowed back into the pool

-Trump admin continues to block AP from the pool, and then censors the pool report noting the AP was turned away.

Great reporting from

CHARLIE ANGUS SCHOOLS PIERRE POILIEVRE AND MAGA MAPLE #elbowsup YouTube video by Charlie Angus

My fb feed is full of ads from Conservative front groups ridiculing Canadians standing up to Trump.
When I tried to purchase an ad taking on Pierre Poilievre FB said it didn't mean their community "standards."
We know which side they are on. Please share this clip.

BREAKING: "At 1:15 PM tomorrow, President Trump will pick a country's name out of a MAGA hat and impose crippling tariffs on that country's goods for four minutes. This will happen daily until America is great again."

A reporter asks Trudeau about Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly’s characterization of the current U.S. situation which she called a "psychodrama."

"How would you characterize it?"

Trudeau, speaking for a weary nation, “Thursday."

C.D.C. Posts, Then Deletes, Data on Bird Flu Spread Between Cats and People
The data, which appeared fleetingly online on Wednesday, confirmed transmission in two households. Scientists called on the agency to release the full report.

Wow. So not only were several bird flu studies left out of today’s CDC Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, some data on bird flu briefly appeared in the online report and then was quickly removed.

Trudeau: Canada will retaliate with 25% tariffs on $155B of U.S. goods YouTube video by CBC News

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.
