We have a federal administration led by idiots and criminals.

Mark Carney Took the Stand the Rest of the World Must Now Take Disentangling Canada from the United States is a mammoth undertaking. But Carney clearly means business.

The United States is on the cusp of becoming a pariah state, ruled by a spoiled man-child who is increasingly and openly mocked for his obvious failings. It only takes one person to say the emperor has no clothes to give others the courage to act. trib.al/6H5ge4v

First, They Came for Your Elections. Then, Your Guns. Trump’s fascist regime is running roughshod over states’ rights, obliterating one of the Republican Party’s supposedly most sacred principles.

There's no more telling signal of overreach than heavily armed, unidentifiable goon squads terrorizing American towns. It’s the rare issue

Trump’s been consistent: He didn’t care about states’ rights when he sent troops into Los Angeles, nor when he federalized D.C.’s police force. trib.al/xlTr0Hi
