ELIZABETH WARREN: What Zohran is saying is 'I want people to be able to afford to live in NYC'

FABER: But raising taxes in order to do it?

WARREN: Oh my goodness! Oh dear! Are you worried that billionaires are going to go hungry?

Meet Dr Julia Burnier, a Canadian Cancer Society funded researcher at McGill University. Dr Burnier is working toward a new type of test called a liquid biopsy: a quicker and less invasive way to collect samples used to detect cancer-related biomarkers.

RUIZ: Did you read the report & fact-check its sources prior to publication?

RFK JR: I did not fact check

RUIZ: It included citations to sources that don't exist. How does that happen?

RFK JR: All of the foundational assertions are accurate

RUIZ: They did not exist. How can they be accurate?

“we’re going to learn nothing from the past two decades to try to capitalize on a short-term economic opportunity that likely won’t even pan out”

Wow!

Annie Lemieux was told she would only have 6 to 9 months to live. Today, due to a new research protocol, she is in remission from advanced uterine cancer.

We need to act now, as a society, to make cancer care more affordable for everyone. During #DaffodilMonth, we gathered on Parliament Hill to make our message loud and clear: coming together is the only way we can reduce the cost of cancer care in Canada.

Jubilation in South Korea After President Who Declared Martial Law Is Ousted

Must be nice having a functioning democratic system where you can remove the President if they try to destroy your country www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04...

Talk about burying the lede..: He was TORTURED. That's your headline.

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer.

"Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.

I don’t understand why the president is allowed to spout nonsense about colonizing another country and the 25th amendment isn’t being invoked in addition to all the other horrors this is insane. It’s absolutely insane. It isn’t funny or even weird.

Watching Rep Jeffries on Maddow show was dispiriting.
Normal responses are ineffective in addressing times that are not normal.
Merrick Garland demonstrated that to catastrophic results.
We are in the midst of a power grab that is rendering policies
& rule of law irrelevant. What do we DO?

My Open Letter to Elon Musk From Marc | Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” This is my response.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath.

I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

That Mark Carney’s net favourability among young men is 41 points higher than Pierre Poilievre’s should tell you something. Canadians are waking up.

We don’t need rage, we need sound economic policy. 🇨🇦👏

When my class was elected in 2010, we cut congress’ own budget and our personal ones by about 10 percent.

This one should cut theirs by about 20, and each office should lay off a couple employees.

Same DOGE is requiring.

Big, growing crowd just west of the U.S. Capitol protesting Trump, Musk and DOGE on President’s Day. “Hey Congress, grow a spine,” they shout, gathering for a rally around the reflecting pool.

So tired of this idea that billionaires are our "betters" whose opinion is super important because they have a lot of money. It's bullshit. They're mostly greedy sociopaths who have no problem destroying people who get in their way. That doesn't make your opinion one to be valued, in my opinion.

Outside of USAID headquarters, Rep. Ilhan Omar:

"We are witnessing a Constitutional crisis...This is what the beginning of dictatorship looks like, when you gut the Constitution and you install yourself as the sole power. That is how dictators are made."

Fact.

🧪Emergency #vaccine trial for #Ebola in Uganda.

I’m old enough to remember when we had 3 branches of government. Forget checks and balances. I guess we are a Muskocracy now.

Everyone, left to right, including Liberals, has disagreements with Trudeau, but give him credit for orchestrating a unified approach to Trump's tariffs.

As a reminder, call your senators. No yea votes on Trump nominees, no unanimous consent for administration priorities, and no business as usual in the middle of a coup.

About the presidency, Harry Truman famously said “the buck stops here.” Trump is trying to pass the buck and blame everybody but his administration for the DC plane crash. This is a time for consoling the families and investigating the cause of this tragedy, not shameful finger pointing.

Allow me to address the elephant in the room:

The Trump administration is not setting the course for a four-year term.

The Trump administration is setting the course for an everlasting dictatorship.

Are we all clear on this?

Why should the public care about the freeze on the NIH? Aside from the need for scientific pursuits to make our society better…
-For every dollar we invest in NIH research, there is a $2.5 return.
-Research dollars help fund universities that employ non-academics. (1/)

Nobel Laureates Urge Senate to Turn Down Kennedy’s Nomination Elevating Mr. Kennedy to secretary of H.H.S. “would put the public’s health in jeopardy,” more than 75 laureates wrote.

More than 75 Nobel Prize winners have signed a letter urging senators not to confirm RFK Jr.

The letter marks the first time in recent memory that Nobel laureates have banded together against a Cabinet choice. But Kennedy is a threat they could not ignore, one said. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/09/h...

Les prières "à genoux dans la rue" et qui bloquent celle-ci sont déjà interdites par le droit commun. Une Loi à cet effet est ainsi superflue, seulement un show de Legault afin d'envoyer l'attention ailleurs, soit sur les Musulmans, dérogatoire en prime, histoire d'ajouter au spectacle.
