U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.

This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

“Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro, Pierre Poilievre — none of these men became household names on merit, they simply cried the loudest. The entire conservative movement is composed of insufferable cry babies aided and abetted by spineless corporate media.”

🇺🇸 TRUMP’S "ONE DAY" PEACE PLAN UNRAVELS IN YEAR OF CHAOS 🇺🇸

He promised peace in a day. Instead, 2025 became a saga of frozen shells, backroom infighting, and a war without end.

Adam Entous reports on the separation.

Hey Albertans...If you do not want to be lumped in with The Separatists...DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

STOP VOTING FOR LUNATICS LIKE DANIELLE SMITH.

Lashing out at reporters.

Falling asleep at meetings.

Misremembering basic facts.

Donald Trump appears to be totally losing it.

Be warned.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Trump's corruption is unlike anything I've ever seen: completely centered on one man's narcissitic bloviation.

The central ideology of Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives is to deny even the basics to the poorest. All done on the back of Jesus who said, “As you lead your golden camels into Heaven, I shall stick needles into the eyes of the poor, unemployed, sick, disabled and hungry standing in your way.”

James Talarico: The Bible doesn't mention abortion or gay marriage, but it goes on and on about forgiving debt, liberating the poor, and healing the sick. The closest thing we have to the kingdom of heaven is a multiracial, multicultural democracy where power is truly shared among all people

Why would anyone risk themselves to go on 60 Minutes after this? How can viewers ever trust CBS News to report fairly on topics this White House is sensitive about?

Pierre Poilievre has ALWAYS been about transferring tax dollars from the poor and from working people UP the income ladder to the already very rich and THAT'S IT. That is his 'plan' and ALWAYS has been. His plan to fix a 'broken' Canada is by suckering and fooling non-rich people to vote for this.

Yes and somehow privatizing our healthcare is the only solution being offerred up by Cons at both federal and provincial levels. Proof that they are the party of the stupid.

Smith finally said it out loud...
She doesn't believe that government should be providing any services to Albertans, she believes that private companies should be used universally to provide services.

Trump's approval ratings are tanking. He's flailing on the economy. Epstein haunts him. Republicans are beginning to revolt against him.

He's not all powerful.

A tyrant can exercise tyranny only insofar as the objects of his tyranny continue to allow it.

Remember this.

🔳 PIERRE POILIEVRE: “I may have lost the election, been booted out of my seat, had to slither back into Parliament via the back door ... but at least I have an obscene pension, a COLOSSAL salary and millions in donations 💰💰, and can drink during the day while I’m working! 🍻”

There's definitely not been a course correction for Poilievre since the election and it shows.

COCHRANE: "Overall, Poilievre has a net score of negative 26, the worst that Angus Reid has recorded since Poilievre took over leadership of the party."

From the DM’s…

If there was any doubt left that Smith’s anti-trans policies were anything more than craven politics…

If this is accurate it means she’s delayed robbing charter rights to try and distract from another massive financial scandal.

My sis just returned from France and reports almost NO gas powered vehicles, cars & trucks - all electric. Windmills everywhere. Many people on bicycles.
While the rest of the world is climate forward, we are regressing, thanks to these morons. Proj. 2025.
It's fucking embarrassing.

Donald Trump has turned America into a mafia klepto-state.
The Nazis were also shameless crooks and criminals. Herman Goring would have been right at home in Mar-a-Lago.
Here is my latest on gangster fascism and America's number one crime family - the Trumps.

If our Premier doesn’t do the right thing and holds a vote in the #AbLeg, there may be a referendum. We won this battle, but bigger one may be ahead.
