JFK gave best speech of his life, this week 1963, at American University: “If we cannot now end our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity. . . .We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal."

We are blessed to have Canada as an ally & trading partner. I’ve spoken with local businesses, and talking down to our neighbor or making “51st state” comments has not helped Nebraska or gained America one advantage. We should treat this relationship with the seriousness & respect it deserves.

Imagine being the Premier of a province and being upset that the leader of the opposition isn't keeping you in the loop about your own party's failings. Amazing. She's completely lost control over everything. #ableg #cdnpolitics #news

I understand that my personal information, including my home address, was shared publicly on a screen at a recent Alberta separatist event. It was also recorded on video, and is now circulating. This was apparently part of the outrageous data leak of Albertans’ private information, wherein Elections Alberta shared its entire detailed provincial voter database with the “Republican Party of Alberta,” which in turn shared it with some separatist group called the “Centurion Project,” whose leadership then shared my personal information publicly. Over the past few years I have received no shortage of threats from people broadly associated with the separatist / antivax / far right movement in Alberta. So it is disturbing that my personal information is now broadly available, particularly in those circles. While I have been targeted specifically, the broader data breach may also effect vulnerable Albertans, including victims of domestic violence, journalists, activists, judges, and other public servants for years to come. I will retain legal counsel to seek advice on recourse regarding this outrageous and potentially dangerous violation of my personal privacy.

🌞Good morning Canada. Spring economic update drops soon. So what are Conservative party and their "influencers" doing? Flooding the zone. DeRidder floor-crossing drama. Zelaya's Brookfield conspiracy. Mazier calling in auditors. Barrett crying cover-up. Notice what's missing from all of it? A single Conservative alternative. No counter-budget. No costed plan. Nothing. Can we expect these after the update us tabled? Will it more of the same? This is the playbook: make you angry before you read the actual numbers. Because once you do, Poilievre's got nothing. Don't take the bait. Read the update. #cdnpoli #CanadaEconomy #SpringUpdate

🌞Good morning Canada. What a crazy and wild 24 hours. 🇨🇦 While Howard Lutnick testified before Congress, Jamieson Greer recalibrated U.S. trade posture, and Prime Minister Mark Carney managed a live national economic challenge, Pierre Poilievre held a press conference about pipeline "illusions," as multiple CPC MPs spent the day amplifying a spaceport dunk. 📉 That dunk started with a right-wing influencer account using footage from the wrong province. It was corrected by Community Notes before MPs engaged with it. This isn't incidental. Political outrage content is a revenue model. High engagement drives CPM premiums, brand deals, and business funnels. The ideology is the product; the clicks are the income. 🔁 Then Tristin Hopper reframed it in the National Post, and Leslyn Lewis and Dan Albas elevated it as supposed political accountability. That's the CPC disinformation loop in real time: influencer content → publicly corrected → laundered through legacy media → amplified by elected officials. 🎯 Pierre Poilievre isn't acting like a government-in-waiting; he's operating like a content hub with a shadow cabinet. On one of the most consequential trade days in months, his job was to project credible alternative leadership. Instead, he pushed distraction content sourced from ratio-bait accounts while Canada's economic future was being negotiated in real time. That's not an opposition. It's an influencer operation with a party budget. You get your coffee ☕️. I'll get a glass of wine 🍷.

In a world wounded by arrogance, people hunger and thirst for justice. We must encourage those who believe in peace and dare to engage in “countercurrent” politics, which focus on the common good. What is urgently needed is the courage of new visions and an educational pact that gives young people space and trust. #ApostolicJourney #EquatorialGuinea vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…

☀️ Good morning Canada. Welcome to the economics edition. Let me be upfront: I’m not an economist, policy advisor, or an aspiring influencer. What I am is an average Canadian citizen. One who doesn't have to balance a job, childcare and totally mentally drained by 6pm daily. It’s exhausting to me, to wade through the bullshit to get to actual facts. I’ll take facts, good or bad, over spin and cherry-picked data. I want a government that deals in that same clarity, where actions are visible, outcomes are measurable, and accountability is rooted in facts, not framing. 🇨🇦 Today’s theme: how economic data gets distorted in real time. • Inflation spin: Yesterday, Statistics Canada reported March inflation at 2.4%. Some Conservative accounts rushed to frame it as failure under Mark Carney. What’s missing: excluding gasoline, inflation was 2.2%, lower than February. The increase was driven by global oil shocks tied to tensions around the Strait of Hormuz, not domestic policy. • GDP framing: The Royal Bank of Canada report being cited notes a Q4 2025 contraction and "Between 2015 and 2024, more than $1 trillion of investment exited Canada." That’s not the full story. RBC also highlighted “surprising economic resilience”: no recession, continued job growth, and the first per-capita GDP improvement in three years. Meanwhile, the International Monetary Fund projects Canada to have the second-highest real GDP growth in the G7 in 2026. • Credential attacks: Pierre Poilievre called Carney “very badly educated” in economics at an event hosted by the Canadian Club Toronto. Context matters: Carney holds degrees from Harvard University and University of Oxford, and has led two G7 central banks, the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England. • Recycled validators: Clips of Liz Truss are circulating as credible criticism. Her tenure lasted 49 days, ending after an unfunded mini-budget triggered market turmoil and pension fund instability in the UK. 📉 The pattern: Selective data → viral framing → impressions scale → context disappears. And this is the team stating they're the “government in waiting,” building its case on half-truths and missing context. "Flood the zone" is meant to enrage and emotionally manipulate the very ones who need to pay attention. That's deceiving and despicable. You’ve got coffee ☕. I’ll pour the wine 🍷 #GoodMorning #cdnpoli #MediaLiteracy #Economics

STOLTENBERG: My country, Norway, borders Russia. Just on other side of our land border, we see highest concentration of nuclear weapons in the world: missiles, submarines, bombers. These weapons are not directed at Norway — they're directed at United States. Yet Norway helps United States monitor and track those submarines, share intelligence, provide early warning, and report precisely what Russians are doing. This is part of America’s homeland defense, delivered by a NATO ally. And there are many other similar examples. So United States is safer with a strong NATO. That is why I expect and believe the United States will remain committed to the Alliance.

This👇is quite extraordinary, showing how much Trump is uniting Europeans on all sides 𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒔𝒕 him Elly Schlein, Leader of Italy's largest opposition party, (herself 50/50🇮🇹🇺🇸) furiously condemns Trump's attacks on her opponent Meloni. The whole Chamber stands up to applaud the whole time. My English s/t👇 "Italy is a free and sovereign country. Our Constitution is clear - Italy repudiates war. No foreign Head of State has the right to attack, threaten or disrespect our country or government. We are opponents in this Chamber, but we are all Italian citizens and Italian MPs. We are asking for unanimous condemnation of these attacks and threats"

From the "One Big Beautiful Bill" supporter then, to "The Door Dash Woman" today: Sharon Simmons
🇺🇸 During the @WaysandMeansGOP field hearing in Nevada, I had the privilege of hearing from Sharon Simmons about how the One Big Beautiful Bill will make a real difference in her life. As a mother and caregiver, she shared how this tax relief will help her and her family. Her story is just one of thousands across America who are finding financial breathing room thanks to @HouseGOP.

Trump is having a mental health episode right now. He’s been posting on social media all night. He posted at: 9:49pm (Ai Jesus photo) 9:50pm (Trump tower on moon) 10:10pm (dumb meme) 10:32pm (news clip) 10:53pm (news clip) 12:43am (announcing Hormuz blockade) 2:35am (article about Biden) 2:36am (article on naval blockade) 2:37am (article on Rep. Swalwell) 2:37am (posted the same article about Biden again) 2:38am (article on his ballroom) 4:10am (article on Iran) He’s not sleeping, he’s pretending to be Jesus, and he’s posting all night. He’s not well.
