Good Governance Fella 🇨🇦

A Message to Trump and his idiotic supporters....

I don't understand how anyone can make the case that we still have constitutional government at this point. The president is collecting revenue *AND* spending money without Congressional authorization, refusing to spend money that Congress appropriated, disobeying whatever laws he feels like.

Canada, please be aware that Turning Point USA tied entities or groups in your country are in fact foreign agents attempting to subvert your democracy and harm your national security.

Insane, but then I suppose if you’re taking a wrecking ball to democracy, it makes perfect sense.

This is a visual for what Mango Mussolini and Republicans are doing to the entire country at every level.

Tearing down all that we value for the vanity of one narcissist.

Why does nobody ever say to him, “NO YOU CAN’T DO THAT!”

Can someone sue???

Who approved this??

I just can’t fathom how one orange dotard can cause the destruction of an historic building like this.

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

Photo from a display at the “Corner House” in Riga, former HQ of Cheka/KGB. Title at top says, “Anyone can be guilty.”

Let’s not repeat the days of secret police and the idea that “anyone can be guilty,” okay?

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

An INTENDED result of going after free speech is it scares people into being silent in a moment where we need everyone to be the loudest.

Suggestion: A strike of musicians, writers, hosts, actors, lighting, electricians--everyone, shutting down all TV studios, until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated.

This is the kind of action we need, instead of sitting around just waiting to be gutted.

If jummy kimmel can be fired over night THEN BRIAN KILMEADE needs to be fired today. PERIOD END OF STORY

I stand with Jimmy Kimmel.

In other words, I am the *opposite* of his cowardly employer.

This is why they’re deleting studies

White House staff, Republican representatives, Cabinet Secretaries, and U.S. military leaders, repeat after me: “NO, Mr. Trump, that would be WRONG.”

Why does it appear that nobody is saying NO, THIS IS WRONG?

This is what a COUP LOOKS LIKE WHEN THE SITTING POTUS IGNORES THIS & DOES NOTHING FOR HOURS & TELLS HIS FOLLOWERS HE LOVES THEM & to Go Home! Then PARDONS THEM ALL 4 YRS LATER TO BECOME ICE

August 1, 2025 AMERICAN ECONOMIC ASSOCIATION Committee on Economic Statistics and Committee on Government Relations Statement from the American Economic Association on the Dismissal of the BLS Commissioner Leaders of the American Economic Association express their grave concern over the dismissal of the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) earlier today. The independence of the federal statistical agencies is essential to the proper functioning of a modern economy. Accurate, timely, and impartial statistics are the foundation upon which households, businesses, and policymakers make critical decisions. Undermining the independence or credibility of these agencies threatens the integrity of the information that markets, institutions, and the public rely on every day. Measuring the vast and dynamic U.S. economy in real time is inherently challenging. It is standard practice for statistical estimates to be revised as more complete and higher-quality data become available. These revisions reflect the commitment of statistical agencies to accuracy, transparency, and methodological rigor-not failure or bias. The BLS has long had a well-deserved reputation for professional excellence and nonpartisan integrity. Safeguarding this tradition is vital for the continued health of the U.S. economy and public trust in our institutions. We call upon elected officials to respect and preserve the independence of the nation's statistical infrastructure. Lawrence Katz President, American Economic Association Katharine Abraham President-Elect, American Economic Association Karen Dynan Chair, American Economic Association Committee on Economic Statistics Kenneth Troske Chair, American Economic Association Committee on Government Relations

Statement from the largest economics association about the BLS firing

As context: AEA approximately never makes such public statements

This is a big deal

Where have the goody-goodies gone?

It’s so terrible that the USA has been taken over by the bad guys.
