I’m middle class, with a professional career, excellent pension, own my home, & I’ll never benefit from grocery rebates, child tax credits, dental plans or climate rebates, but I am 100% cool with providing those things for folks less fortunate than I. #NeverVoteConservative

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

My daughter just moved to Hamilton from BC and she says it’s 29 degrees every day. I can tell you it’s NOT that warm back home.

Remember the one & only time Article 5 was used & all of NATO went to war to help the USA? Remember how some of our countrymen gave their lives for a country who’d then elect a man who threatens our sovereignty & says the USA may not return the favour should we be attacked? Yeah.

I wanna get this to Newsom’s PR team: in response to the auto pen photo in place of Biden’s pic, Newsom needs to say that when HE becomes POTUS, he will replace Trump’s portrait with one of a big old TACO.

I’m surprised he’s not getting a purple heart.

I caught on to who he was many years ago, but loved his standup at one time….

Speaker Mike Johnson is REFUSING to swear in Rep. Grijalva in Arizona to prevent the release of the Epstein files. This is LAWLESSNESS. Even if the Dems do win back the House do you all really think this lot will honor such a free and fair election?

Michigan Republicans propose new bill that would ban all adult content online, ranging from ASMR to any depiction of trans people, even in non-adult videos. It also calls for ISPs to begin draconian monitoring of all internet activity and would ban VPNs

Absolutely. Phenomenal album. They’re my favorite band, and my favourite song of theirs is Rocket Queen.

Tom Homan took a bribe. Knowing how Trump operates I would assume every single one of Trump’s appointees has a skeleton or 3 in their closet that he can hold over them if & when needed. Hope to live long enough to hear about them all.

🇨🇦 BUYING THE F-35 COULD BE CANADA'S BIGGEST STRATEGIC MISTAKE 🇨🇦

In a stunning analysis for The Walrus, #PeterJones argues that purchasing a full fleet of #F-35 fighter jets would make Canada's defence "utterly dependent" on the #UnitedStates at a dangerously uncertain time.

A disabled double amputee named Rodney Taylor has been held in ICE custody since January.

He’s been denied his new prosthetic legs and is now in solitary confinement.

His “crime”? A burglary when he was a teen for which he received a full pardon. 🧵

Is there a list of names? A profile of who is being disappeared?

Looks like both objectives have been achieved, more or less. I really hope we get to *See* those videos some day.

It’s hard to say what, if any, endgame exists for Trump. Seems like he’s floating war ideas - Greenland? Panama? Venezuela? Afghanistan? Civil? While the obvious choice if he wants war would be just to back NATO. Convinces me that his obedience to Putin runs very deep.

🇨🇦ProudCoastalChicka🇨🇦WithElbowsUp @proudcoastalchicka.bsky.social · Sep 22

100%

Right? And we’re STILL paying for it. Out guys came back with PTSD, so we rightfully cover their treatment and early retirements, but it’s pretty pathetic when we did it all for a country that won’t even tell Putin to not invade Poland.

All of America forgets they are the only country to invoke Article 5 and have all of NATO's support after 9/11.

NATO countries spent billions and lost thousands of their soldiers fighting in Afganistan only for Trump to negotiate giving Afganistan back to the Taliban.

America is the problem.

If the USA doesn’t back NATO in Europe, it will be the most egregious, traitorous event in modern history. We sacrificed our men & women for the USA, believing we had a deal, that we could count on them to defend us too. It will mean WW3, death, destruction & an entirely new world order. 😡

The only thing that gives me hope is seeing how very, very stupid he & everyone in his administration appear to be. It’s so obvious. They’re not evil masterminds.

Why was Tucker all “Russia is the best! Look at these cool grocery carts, we should be like Russia!” And the moment Trump starts the process of making America into Russia, he’s all pissed off? What gives?

Man, it would depend on the dog. A well-washed hypoallergenic dog, absolutely cool. But if I had to smell *dog* for hours beside me I might lose my mind. No hate toward dogs - I’m no Kristi Noem - just a cat 🐈‍⬛ lover with a sensitive nose.
