A Canadian fisherman was 15 km off the US coast and very close to Canadian soil, when the US Coast Guard rammed his boat, capsized it, arrested him and put him in a cell for hours.
This should be an international incident that ends with a rebuke of this regime.

"The provision, tucked into a measure to fund the legislative branch, appears to immediately allow for eight GOP senators to sue over their phone records being seized in the course of the investigation by Jack Smith ... into the riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021." www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/u...
Spending Bill Would Pave Way for Senators to Sue Over Phone Searches
Republicans have voiced outrage that Jack Smith looked at G.O.P. lawmakers’ phone records surrounding the Jan. 6 attack. Legislation to reopen the government would allow them to sue for $500,000 each.

Measles, once eliminated, is back.
As expected, Canada has lost its measles-free status because of the long-running outbreak there. With it goes the #measles elimination status of the entire zone of the Americas, the only division of the #WHO to ever have achieved measles elimination. www.statnews.com/2025/11/10/m...
Canada loses measles elimination status — as does the entire Americas region
Canada has formally lost its measles elimination status, the country’s public health agency announced, triggering the loss of that status throughout all of the Americas.

Schumer should be publicly shamed into immediate resignation. But I doubt that’s going to happen and I don’t want three more years of this feckless, pathetic groveling to a fascist regime while people starve, suffer and die.

First term Trump’s House prices averaged around $280,000. That’s a difference over $100,000.
Trump doesn’t compare prices to his first term because he is always spinning to make his economy look better than it actually is.
