It was weird - last week felt like a rumble, this one felt like something massive *slapped* the building once, hard!

Really hope this two-in-a-week isn't a precursor to something worse ... :/

I seem to have upset the Nigel Farage fan club - so let me be clear.

This man sows hate, lies and division.

He is a grifter and a conman.

He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.

Repost if you agree

P.s. multiculturalism is great.

We Are on Our Own From Marc | Our institutions are not going to save us. Only we can do that.

Not a day passes that someone doesn’t tell me that they are exhausted or, more candidly, afraid. It is okay to be tired and understandable to be afraid. Courage doesn’t come from being well rested and feeling safe. It is found in overcoming those emotions. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

You all act is if you've never ordered drugs from your office computer on Capital Hill then sex trafficked an underage person through an intermediary and paid for it on Venmo with public transactions then showed other members of Congress you having sex with multiple people on the House floor

What isn't included in this video chart is what happened in 1984...

Mulroney began slashing funding for CMHC, which prevented the building of subsidized housing for decades.

Have been fucking FURIOUS about the ER betrayal since it happened. He’s still better than PP, and there are still several months to try to avoid the worst disaster. Singh should’ve insisted on ER as part of the conf & supply agreement frankly. This is idiocy though.
