NOEM: I would disagree with the judge

CROCKETT: I'm sure you would, but can you tell me whether or not you have a law degree?

NOEM: A what?

CROCKETT: A law degree

NOEM: No I do no-

CROCKETT: Okay

Dem Candidate for Rep. Eric Swalwell’s Seat Donated to Far-Right Republicans β€” Including Laura Loomer Democratic primary hopeful Rakhi Israni, who is running for Rep. Eric Swalwell’s seat, gave to MAGA figures β€”Β including Laura Loomer.

For anyone in the Bay Area or following California politics, this is a crazy story.

A far-right supporter is a Dem candidate in the 14th congressional district (East Bay). This kind of infiltration is always a danger when one party dominates, and something to watch out for across the country.

How many countries has the US bombed since 2001, and how much has it cost? Since 9/11, the US has engaged in three full-scale wars, bombing at least 10 countries under four presidents.

10 countries bombed
940 000 people (mostly civilians) dead
8 Trillions dollars spent

Imagine putting those funds towards the welfare of humans instead. Hospitals, schools, community centres... Things that would build up our resilience as we face biodiversity collapse and climate breakdown.

The Senate cannot ignore the dangers of Bill C-12 or ignore the amendments recommended by its own SOCI committee. Be the body of β€˜sober second thought’.

Amend to remove parts 5 - 8.

We don’t want Trump-style immigration policies here.

Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump.

"The Justice Dept. has withheld some Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor..."

"These include ... more than 50 pages of FBI interviews, and notes from conversations with a woman who accused Trump of sexual abuse decades ago when she was a minor."

Update: Bill C-12 could usher in a Trump-style approach to immigrants, refugees and migrants in Canada. Will Canada follow Trump’s America into an abyss of fear, hate and immigration raids? The Senate could decide.

Many people here in Canada have probably comforted themselves with the thought that what is happening in the United States could never happen here.

Take action, call/email the Prime Minister and your MP:

We're at a cross-roads coast to coast. Sinking more money in fossil fuels is bad for our planet, our health and our economy.

If you saw today's headline that Gallup will stop measuring presidential approval, they did the same thing in 2018. They do it whenever Trump is president.
