Doesn't need any intro....
So far, in less than one year, Donald Trump has issued over TEN TIMES as many pardons as he did in his entire four-year first term. That’s a lot of criminals released onto our streets.

Hmmm....smells like "murder" or "war crimes" to me....
“‘You’re either on the team or you’re not,’ Hegseth told Holsey, according to notes from a participant. ‘When you get an order, you move out fast and don’t ask questions.’”
Exclusive: The four-star admiral in charge of Caribbean operations had concerns about the legality of the boat strikes. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth asked him to retire shortly after they started.

This man may be the most racist president this country has ever had, and twelve presidents owned slaves
Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."

"If the U.S. military operation is not an armed conflict of any kind, these orders to kill helpless civilians clinging to the wreckage of a vessel our military destroyed would subject everyone from SECDEF down to the individual who pulled the trigger to prosecution under U.S. law for murder."
Here are US military lawyers stating clearly that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's "kill everybody" orders are either (1) war crimes or (2) murder.
Either way, expect prosecutions in the future.

Beyond depraved: "Hours after her detainment, court documents obtained by ABC News show that a federal judge ordered the government not to remove the 19-year-old from the U.S. and not to transfer her outside of Massachusetts. But Lopez Belloza was deported to Honduras the next day."

"Kill them all." Nobody in Canada should be attempting any diplomatic or economic deals with the United States. It is a rogue nation that is out of control. #cdnpoli #uspoli

How ironic it would be that the most effective way for Dems to gain a majority in the House is for Reps to voluntarily quit in disgust. Sublime. #uspoli

Jesus Christ. While the cover assertion is provocative--what is it with all the provokation these days instead of straight-up factual & responsible titling (but I digress)--it's utter bullshit. So demoralizing. #cdnpoli #uspoli
GTFO with this mess.
Over many interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Michael Scherer about how he plans to remake America’s public-health system. Can he lead the scientific establishment he’s spent much of his life crusading against?

THIS is exactly right. Thank you!!
Really important to stress that the Crown Jewels of the US higher education system were never the Ivies or elite SLACs (other countries have equivalents of these) but the well-funded, large, cheap, and excellently staffed public state university systems bringing high quality education to the masses.

I'm a U.S. citizen and a new citizen to Canada in the last few years. I'm here because of Trump, et al. There are no words to describe how much I loathe and detest their whole cadre of miscreant goons. And Diab should NOT explain! When you're explaining, you're losing. She should know that.
