SchrΓΆdinger's War They can’t agree on whether it’s a war, a mission, regime change, or self-defense. They don’t need to. They just need Congress to stay out.

The U.S. Congress is so corrupt and useless.

Iran kills 7 American soldiers after being attacked by the United States without justification and is a "barbaric and terrorist" regime.

The United States kills 150 Iranian school girls for no reason and is on the side of goodness and right.

Yeah, right, Lindsey, you lying drunk.

The government made my generation a promise when I was eight years old. Four years have gone by and it’s still not fulfilled We need a law that prioritizes the protection of children over profit. We need clear rules that hold companies accountable when they fail to protect us.

"Table the Online Safety Act. Pass it. Improve it over time. But stop delaying.

Kids have been left to their own devices long enough.

We are counting on you."

How Doug Ford made the drug problem on the TTC worse If we want to see less public drug use and people sheltering on transit, we must begin by reopening and expanding supervised consumption sites and by addressing housing unaffordability.

Ford knows no bounds when it comes to making "government" look bad.

His version of the conservative party is quite prepared to sabotage the idea that governmt can support the common good.

Instead, he fronts an organization focused on using the tool that is govmt to extract wealth for privateers.

Doug Ford may want to be Ontario’s premier β€˜forever,’ but his focus is now on legacy projects The premier appears to want his legacy to be about building things up, not tearing them down.

"The premier appears to want his legacy to be about building things up, not tearing them down."

CORRECTION: What Doug has torn down cannot be seen, BUT FELT! The list is long - worsen healthcare & education, lack of housing & social programs!

He is what Ontario needs. The dofo family and those that voted for them has inflicted so much damage to Ontario. I lived there from 1964 until I relocated to BC in 2000. The thoughtless demolition of Ontario Place makes me shed tears.

Liberal Nate Erskine-Smith says he is ready to go β€˜toe to toe’ with Premier Doug Ford Federal MP waiting to run in provincial by-election

β€œI’m happy to go toe to toe with Doug Ford on absolutely any issue, any time. There’s not a debate I will lose to that guy.”

I would pay to watch the debate between Nate & Dumpster Ford! I want to see Nate wipe that smirk off Doug's face!

Local Massachusetts weekly says it's confirmed that the Pentagon was relying on Claude for strike targeting, which is how they came to bomb a girls' school.
