Good morning and happy Thursday to everyone. This corrects a previous post in which I said idiots on Twitter are saying every protester at the No Kings rally this weekend is getting $50,000 cash in a Cava takeout bag. With all due respect, [turns to camera] you people are fucking idiots.

Trump says he authorised CIA in Venezuela as Maduro says 'no to regime change'

Trump would not be drawn on whether the CIA was seeking to topple Maduro.

This will ban billionaires from single-handedly buying Elections in Australia.

Should be global ..for that matter who needs billionaires 🧐

Here's an idea for the American politicians trying to entice Canadians to spend our money in a land of gangster fascism:
Offer free burner phones so we won't be thrown in detention for our social media posts.
OR,
We could say hell no, we ain't travelling to the USA.
