Iran likely to give a fact check like this every time Hegseth or Trump says they’re not worried about Hormuz

I’m sorry, “US exports of prison-made products”?? That’s a thing?

Makes one wonder why Kelly *still* votes to confirm Trump’s nominees.

Doug Ford seems to skate by on a kind of awe shucks populism but it’s useful when he reminds everyone what a greasy asshole he really is

I had to explain to the boy the other day why taxes are necessary (we were watching Parks and Rec and he started identifying with Ron Swanson too much). It'd be cool if members of the Democratic Party running for office could do the same.

Trump’s options now are either 1) send in enough ground forces that they overthrow the Iranian regime and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, or 2) pull back from the bombing campaign, convince Israel to do the same, and agree to Iran’s terms. Both are catastrophically bad for Trump.

“Sure, a stoppage of oil exports hurts Iran more than the US. But that’s not the question. The Iranian government is fighting for its life. The White House is focused on optimal economic conditions leading up to the November midterm. So again the standards of pain are not the same.”

Hegseth sounds exactly like the kind of guy who would fire the lawyers because they might tell him when what he says and does could be a war crime

Can’t wait to see MAGA weirdos with bulging heavy pockets, sagging pants, jingling while they walk because they insist on only using Trump dollar coins to pay for everything

The Iran war seems to be deepening the MAGA-America First schism in the GOP that began with Epstein. I don’t see how Vance can bridge that divide. MAGA will hate him for distancing himself from Trump on those issues and America First won’t forget that he was complicit in them in the first place.

I don’t think Mulcair fumbled it. He was leading in the polls for a time in that 2015 election. The electorate wanted a non-CPC government and coalesced around the Liberals in the end. I think Mulcair’s problem was that he was too temperamentally similar to Harper, to the benefit of Trudeau.

This American experiment of putting the stupidest men in the country in charge is paying exactly dividends one would expect.

Canada’s Conservative leader needs to make inroads with Trump. Is it too late? Why Pierre Poilievre has few friends in and around the White House.

“The only thing people here know about Poilievre is that apple-crunching video and that he lost an election he should have won.”

one upside of all of this is the revelation that the swinging dick bankers and big rah rah capital execs and billionaires are actually meek little scared dogs and president AOC or whoever (god willing) should walk them on a leash and make them drink out of a bowl

Ditching Tom Mulcair at their first opportunity was so so so dumb

Photo shows young white woman in a white tan top with from the river to the sea in black all caps text. She’s flanked by security or police 


Text of X screenshot: An 18-year-old woman in Queensland faces two years in jail for wearing a shirt that says "from the river to the sea."

In Australia, you can bankroll mass murder and sleep fine. But wear a shirt that says "from the river to the sea"?Two years in prison.

I was told that a bombing campaign is needed to free her from a fascist government that controls what women can wear.
