This can’t quite dismissed as a one-off

As US Ambassador to the Netherlands, Pete Hoekstra caused a national controversy hosting a private event for the Dutch far-right party FvD (this is a party that is even more extreme than Geert Wilders’ PVV)

As an overt threat to the long-term survival of the human community, denial of Covid-19 is as dangerous as Covid-19 itself. As long as most people continue to deny the extreme damage that results from the uncontrolled spread of Covid-19, conditions of ongoing harm will inevitably worsen.

Canadians care about the world and we care about each other. So we’re going to fight climate change and build a stronger, more competitive economy – together.

NOAA hurricane hunters flying aboard a P-3 Orion aircraft ("Kermit") are monitoring Hurricane Melissa as most aircraft steer clear. The storm poses a catastrophic threat to Jamaica and Haiti.

The crew are among the many federal workers working without pay during the US government shutdown.

A map image from the Flight Radar 24 service shows the flight track of a NOAA P-3 Orion aircraft flying over the Caribbean Sea, where Hurricane Melissa threatens to bring catastrophic rain and flooding to Jamaica and Haiti. Most other aircraft appear to be steering clear of the area.

Tie this together with their reporting and @maddow.msnbc.com breakdown on Mr Mellon ( July 29 2024)...remember we were surprised that President Trump declassified the Earhart files last month? Eventually everything makes sense...ish x.com/cwebbonline/...

We’re taking our campaign to every corner of the state, to communities Democrats haven’t been in the past. This race is bigger than just the Democratic Party.

We’re grateful to have the opportunity to listen and learn from all voters. Consider joining us in Milton on Monday! https://bit.ly/4nkEhQU

Carney: "We can't control the trade policy of the US. We recognize it has fundamentally changed from the policy in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, & it's a situation where US has tariffs against every trading partner... what we we can control is developing new partnerships, including w/econ giants of Asia"

I believe that is called "Better to beg forgiveness than ask permission" . Amazing how there just never seems to be a reckoning or even ounce of accountability for this president or his administration.
