Had a great conversation with Terry Gross/Fresh Air to walk through the whole landscape of Trump family conflicts of interest that have emerged. Real estate. Golf clubs. Crypto, Foreign government deals. Even a $500,000-a-head private club in DC. @nprfreshair.bsky.social www.npr.org/2025/05/07/1...

Carney to Trump: "There are some places that are never for sale ... having met with the owners of Canada over the course of the campaign, it's not for sale. It won't be for sale ever."

It is worth noting that the Catholic Church, one of the most staunch anti-abortion organizations in the world, has a formal policy that encourages all vaccinations.
I hope the new government and allies enact a law that requires candidates for Prime Minister and for political-party leadership positions to pass a security clearance at the time they submit to run for PM.

Real freedom is the spirit behind the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, not just for the loudest, the angriest, or the wealthiest, but for every single one of us.

In Vancouver tonight, we laid flowers in memory of the victims of the devastating Lapu Lapu festival attack.
In this incredibly difficult moment, we will comfort the grieving, care for one another, and unite in common purpose.
A bad sign, not just because of what it recalls historically, but for what it promises about the future.
