Have an American walking into my posts saying we pay high taxes, and get nothing out of it, let me clarify for people who don't know, our taxes, pay for Universal Health Care, Maternity Leave, Dentalcare, & many other social programs, as well, our taxes are now pretty close to the US /1

So Speaker Johnson gave the congress another week off. Paid of course, while they shut the govt down.

The GOP has made it clear they have no interest in compromise with Dems. So they will have to figure how to reopen their govt that they closed.

And they get another vacation

No reason for this to be happening in 2025. In my view, those who have helped promote vaccine hesitancy shoulder part of the blame. Measles is not safe for mothers or their babies. The vaccine is safe and it works. Fact.

The Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche, is meeting with a notorious sex trafficker today. Not to ensure that she pays for her many crimes, but to ensure that she lies to protect Donald Trump from his own. Law and order, yโ€™all!

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; itโ€™s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.

It doesn't have to be this way.

Yesterday, Maurene Comey, who prosecuted the Epstein case, was summarily fired from SDNY. Her letter to colleagues pulls no punches. "Fear is the tool of a tyrant, wielded to suppress independent thought."

Fellow Canadians, keep those elbows up, buy Canadian, support Canadian, and skip the US travel and subscriptions when you can. Iโ€™m doing my part, itโ€™s tough, but doable. Letโ€™s keep Canada strong, independent, and thriving! ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ’ช

Trump's incompetence is everywhere.ย 

His regime canโ€™t keep military secrets. It canโ€™t maintain financial stability. It canโ€™t protect children from measles.

While we resist Trumpโ€™s authoritarianism, we also need to highlight his utter inability to govern America.

People should really drive this home ... in the middle of a deadly measles outbreak across the continent, Pierre Poilievre wants to scrap vaccine mandates.
