UPDATE: There's now a second collision on the 102 outbound (near Kearney Lake)

So that's two collisions on the 102 outbound, both causing delays #HFXTraffic

People are worried about leaving Twitter because their follower/engagement numbers will go down.

But how many of those are actual human beings using their own accounts? Not bots, actors, trolls, fakes?

No one I know still uses Twitter.
80% of Twitter's American First accounts are based outside of the United States.

Nobody loves a sex offender more than the New Orleans Saints.

Be careful what you wish for. Accountability would bite this administration hard.
Q: Is the president more determined now since the judge's ruling today to go after James Comey and Tish James?

LEAVITT: I wouldn't say he's 'going after' them. I think the president is more determined than ever to see accountability in this country.

What you would think is that competent lawyers would be appointed as Assistant Attorny General and Attorney General, but clearly not.
Well, the case against James Comey was effectively dismissed WITH PREJUDICE because it can't be brought again.

Pam Bondi allowed the statute of limitations to run while her illegitimate prosecutor was wasting everyone's time.

You would think an Assistant Attorney General at DOJ would know this.

Twitter had to turn off its location feature within hours because thousands of prominent and "verified" MAGA accounts turned out to be foreign and I think it's hilarious that Elon was the one who exposed them all

Here we go with more curling here in Halifax. Men’s matchups on the ice:

Gushue vs Koe
Jacobs vs Kleiter
Epping vs McEwen
Dunstone vs McDonald

How will Jacobs respond after that opening loss to Koe? Every game so important at the Olympic trials

ICE thinks that whatever they do is the law.

Like Leavitt saying that every order from the President is legal.

Forget about the constitution, bill of rights, checks & balances and replace them with garden variety authoritarianism.
ICE agents don’t view themselves as bound by law, and we have neither democracy nor law if they never face justice and accountability.

The point is to allow children of wealthy families to take those training slots, rather than better qualified children from poorer families, who can't afford the tuition.
They are determined to destroy health care from every possible angle.

Jokes on you, JD. Nobody listens to CBC and everybody knows that photo of your "Canadian friend" isn't real.
So apparently this is fine but Canadian governments using advertising to share views with Americans about trade is completely inappropriate.

Got it.

When governments devolve from democracies to leader-cults, government-issued information becomes unreliable.

Add health information from CDC to inflation, unemployment and climate change data as propaganda issued to support the Trump government's opinion, no longer connected to verifiable evidence.
After unprecedented autism-vaccine messaging change, scientists, CDC no longer trustworthy www.cidrap.umn.edu/childhood-va...

@pauloffit.bsky.social: CDC has devolved into “a propaganda machine for RFK Jr.'s fixed, immutable, science-resistant theories."

"...a tragic day for public health."

This is also another lie in a long list of daily lies told by Leavitt.

Trump very much does want to execute members of Congress and anyone who disagrees with him. He's only held back by trying to figure out how to kill them. The desire to kill them is very clear from his late night posts.
Headlines You Never Expected To See (a la Mad magazine):

"White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Thursday that President Trump does not want to execute members of Congress."

Trump is unable to distinguish between obedience to the law and obedience to him. He truly believes that because he is President, people are supposed to do what he says, even if what he tells them to do is illegal.

It's why he loves dictators. Their systems are simple enough he can understand.
The President of the United States is publicly calling for the political prosecution of his political opponents, urging the death penalty because they urged soldiers to uphold the rule of law.

This should be front page news everywhere. It is not, which tells much about how we got to this point.

According to Trump, Saudi Arabia has a "great record on human rights"

... if you think it's great for a government to execute people for being Christian, gay, a journalist, or a woman driving a car.

Almost forgot drinking beer. They'll kill you for that, too. Trump loves them.
So MAGA, You see these two? One of them is your dear leader, the other is a Prince in a country where CHRISTIANITY IS BANNED. Where you can be arrested for being a CHRISTIAN, for displaying CHRISTIAN symbols and even, for having a bible.
But go ahead, tell me how much fucking MONEY he's investing.

Trump administration:

When elected, I will release the Epstein files.

The Epstein files are on my desk.

The Epstein files do not exist.

The Epstein files are a Democrat hoax.

There's nothing incriminating in the Epstein files.

The Epstein files are full of Democrats who should be prosecuted.
The Epstein files went from being a hoax to a threat to national security if released.

Unbelievable

It worked for DEI, so why not? Recharacterize anything that mitigates discrimination as being, itself, discriminatory.
The Supreme Court seems willing to entertain a gerrymandering case out of Louisiana where white voters argue it’s “unfair” for Black voters to receive fair representation.

Hours after Border Patrol swept through Charlotte, protesters filled uptown with courage, not fear. They marched peacefully, stood united, and refused to be intimidated.
Charlotte showed up.
And it showed strength.💪
