Your Trump-handpicked Commerce Secretary, everybody.

Not sure who the guy on the left is.

They appear to be on some sort of island.

In the full photo you see a bunch of dudes standing around. Weird how there are no "wives" or "nannies" or "children" anywhere to be seen.

Huh.

Statement from Dario Amodei on our discussions with the Department of War A statement from our CEO on national security uses of AI

A big thank you to Anthropic!

After a weeks-long standoff between the Defense Department and AI firm Anthropic over how the military can deploy its technology, CEO Dario Amodei said tonight that the company will not loosen its usage policies.

Stop watching. Surely we can find something else to do.

At the Winter Olympics, American female athletes won 61% of the total medals (20 out of 33) and 67% of the gold medals (8 out of 12) awarded to the US - the third time IN A ROW American women outperformed American men at the Winter Games. And they’ve never embarrassed the nation while doing it.

“America’s national security interests”? Really?

🔥

It’s a horrible burden to be one of the American citizens who understands the terrifying situation. You are doing something right here - thank you for exercising your freedom to speak. If every American who agrees speaks out regularly, I still
have faith in a better future.

This.

US citizen shot and killed by federal immigration agent last year, new records show Shooting death of Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, in Texas was not publicly disclosed by Department of Homeland Security

An ICE agent shot and killed 23-year-old U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas almost an entire year ago and hid the shooting from the public.

It’s only now coming to light, 11 months later, due to Freedom of Information Act requests.

What else is the regime hiding from us?

Nothing could persuade me to watch this year.

Boycott the State of the Union Trump doesn’t deserve our attention

Remember when many 🇨🇦Canadians would almost automatically watch the State of The Union Address out of a mixture of respect for our neighbours and recognition of the “leader of the free world”.
Wonder now if anyone apart from Jumpin Jack Jamil Jivani will do so.

Here’s an ugly truth. When a President sends men and women to war, they have decided to spend American lives to buy things; to buy objectives, outcomes, results. This president will be willing to trade the currency of human life…for something as worthless as his ego. We will see that soon.

This one hits hard.

Associating with Jeffrey Epstein or attempting a coup will land you in prison in the UK or South Korea.

In America, doing both lands you in the White House.

Opposition blast Houston gov’t over accountability, ‘reckless spending’ | CBC News Province House will be bustling on Monday as MLAs return for a sitting of the legislature, but NDP Leader Claudia Chender says for most of the year, the building “might as well be a museum.”

The only thing harder than winning an Olympic Gold Medal is defending… National Newswatch: Canada's most comprehensive site for political news and views.

The only thing harder than winning an Olympic Gold Medal is defending one. These three made it look pretty routine here in Milan; they’re some of Canada’s best endurance athletes of all time, and they’ve got a secret to share with Canadians. 🥇🥇🇨🇦🙂

In vino veritas

This 👆just like parachuting into Battle River. Liberal leadership was open to all Liberals across the country with online voting. CPC held a tiny, risk-free, closed election in the most conservative province.

Wow - a truly unhinged meltdown in a very public forum. What’s most shocking to me is his apparent sense of complete entitlement and lack of insight. It’s emblematic of his origin and his position, sadly.

Past may not be prologue this time

Many, many Liberals working hard to make it happen. Everyone can do something.

Any political party spreading lies about voter fraud as a pretext to make it harder for every one to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

Remember this.

I think Ontarians are about to wake up and roar!

There is going to be very little difference between living in Ontario and living in 🇺🇸 soon, Ford is coming for healthcare, car insurance, and education. Congratulations to the laziest people in Canada who couldn’t bother to vote in 3 elections 👏🏻 #onpoli

Reading between Mr. Coyne’s lines, it’s easy to get his real point: the Conservative Party of Canada hasn’t a snowball’s chance in hell of winning another election so long as a huge component of its base is pro-Trump and pro-MAGA. And that’s who Jumpin Jack Jamil Jivani hopes to lead.

Unbelievable ignorance - shocking, mortifying, deeply disqualifying.

They do not, in fact, have legitimate grievances.

The Supreme Court Lives in Fox News' America A Court that does not share a common factual world with the people it governs is untethered from democratic reality.

"Roberts does not perceive the same danger. Immersed in the same media environment as his colleagues, he does not see Trumpism as a sustained assault on democracy. He sees criticism as overheated, institutions as fundamentally sound, and the courts as neutral guardians"
