So, Premier Ford’s ad, citing Pres Reagan’s opposition to tariffs, was regarded by the U.S. Administration as grotesque and unacceptable foreign involvement in the U.S. process. But the U.S. Treasury Secty promoting separation of a province from Canada is okay?

Whew. I have never seen a more brutal takedown of Trump’s cabinet than Pete Buttigieg here. No academic, high-brow rhetoric. Just simple, vivid language that everyone can understand & get behind. A masterclass from Pete. Watch this. x.com/PeteReceipts/status/19…

On his first day in office, Donald Trump pardoned 169 people who were convicted of assaulting police officers on January 6.
Hit a cop, you’re going to jail… doesn’t matter where you came from, how you got here, or what movement speaks to you. If the local police force won’t back our men and women on the thin blue line, we @FBI will.

Chantel Hebert from CBC is right. All this time she covered Turner, Mulroney, Harper or Chrétien nobody had signs that said f..CK Harper, or f...CK Chrétien. This CPC is not true Conservatives but turned into a far right wing group. This rhetoric is terrible. It comes from U.S.

There is increasing fear in Germany that F-35 jets purchased for the German army can be "turned off" remotely by Washington. This fear is shared by defense and security specialists. Joachim Schranzhofer, head of communications at Hensoldt: "The F-35 kill switch is not just a rumor. A simpler way is through a mission planning system that will not allow the fighter to land." Wolfgang Ischinger, former diplomat and head of the Munich Security Conference: "If we fear that the US could do the same to the German F-35 fighter jets as they did to Ukraine, we should consider canceling the contract."

You guys the Vice President of the United States just blew off the Chancellor of Germany to meet with Nazis instead. Does it need to be more fucking clear to Americans what kind of people are running the country & what they are doing? Time to decide how you want to be remembered
The German press reports that JD Vance met with AfD co-leader Alice Weidel after his speech in Munich today. (Vance refused to meet Olaf Scholz, Germany's chancellor.)

Tonight, I’m thinking about Justice Murray Sinclair and of the times that I was lucky enough to hear him speak about his work with the TRC. This moment stands out for me. It’s his answer when he was asked, “Why can’t you just get over it?”

It's worth highlighting that both Trump and Elon Musk have talked openly in recent days about bad things happening early in a second Trump term. (short 🧵)

Please understand that this platform is about to become the very least reliable source of information in the aggregate if Trump starts losing tomorrow. Coup Two requires people to feel "robbed" and Musk is going to go into overdrive making the MAGAs feel that.
