The fact that Donald spoke in front of the National Guard Association is particularly galling. You see, Donaldâs disrespect of American troops began in the early 1960s in a very personal way. My father, Freddy, who completed Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) when he was an

Literally one of the satisfying moments Iâve ever seen in politics.
Michelle Obama: Trump seeking a 'Black job' "For years Donald Trump did everything in his power to try to make people fear us," said @MichelleObama. âI want to know - whoâs going to tell him that the job heâs currently seeking might just be one of those âBlack jobs?ââ

If your politics have brought you to a place where you attack a neurodivergent teen for showing love and affection for his father, youâre really just a crappy person. Thereâs no other side to that.
The people attacking or making fun of 17-year-old Gus Walz just donât understand what JOY and LOVE are all about. They wish they had someone who cared as much about them as Gus does his dad. Gus has a non verbal learning disability. He is neurodivergent and has ADHD. He is

As President, I will never waver in defense of America's security and ideals, because in the enduring struggle between democracy and tyranny, I know where I standâand I know where the United States belongs.

I've long wondered about whether Poilievre is serious about being a national leader. But his rhetoric is getting so out there that that it's gotta be a gag. Like a toxic Andy Kaufman shtick and wondering when the audience is going to wise up to the punchline.

You want to know how many Republicans supported my proposal to raise the minimum wage to $15/hr? Zero. You want to know how many Republicans tried to grow union membership by supporting the PRO Act? Zero. Don't try to tell me that Republicans support the working class.

Access to healthcare should be based on need, not means. Everyone knows this except those currently in power. Today's @CMA_Docs study shows that with Doug Ford and his politicians, you'll always come second. Â As Premier, I'll make sure that everyone has access to good quality

No billionaire should pay a lower tax rate than a teacher, a firefighter, an electrician, or a cop. I wonât stop fighting to make billionaires pay more of their fair share.

Dear Mainstream Media, We seriously don't give a damn that Kamala Harris isn't courting you to the degree you'd like. In fact, given your shamefully biased coverage since she entered the race, we see no reason you deserve her time. This is a grassroots movement of a disparate

Hitler didnât operate the gas chambers himself. But he was responsible. Manson didnât kill anyone himself. But he was responsible. Bin Laden didnât fly the planes himself. But he was responsible. Trump didnât storm the Capitol himself. But he was responsible. Justice matters.

For those of you not glued to law Twitter on a beautiful summer Saturday (god bless you): The federal Liberals deployed a little used section of Canada Labour Code to « order » CIRB to suspend all work stoppages in railways. This is a troubling development. 1/4
In railway lockout: CIRB rules it does not have discretion to review Ministerâs direct instruction in s. 107 referral that lockout/strikes end. Itâs up to federal court to decide if order violates Charter. Therefore CIRB orders lockout/future strike end, work resume Aug 26.
