I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

Jenny Kwan’s bill to close the loophole in the arms trade is up for a vote in the House of Commons today.

It will be interesting to see how many of our elected leaders vote against it, because such a vote enables the continuing genocide in Gaza.

If you can’t figure out if doing something is legal or moral, just ask yourself, β€œwhat would Trump do” and then do the opposite.

New gecko just dropped, and he has the same look on his face I've had for every waking hour of the last three months.

The Assembly of Treaty Chiefs delivered a unanimous vote of no confidence in Danielle Smith and the UCP. Unanimously.

This is NOT a stunt.
