I used to enjoy watching American college football, but now they are running ICE recruiting ads. I find it very disturbing to see taxpayer money paying for the President to recruit a personal army of masked individuals to intimidate citizens from expressing "disloyal" opinions. #1984

Finally! A clear sky night with no wind, no moonlight and a decent aurora display. If only I had remembered to check the horizon line before it got dark! A stray meteor was the icing on the cake.

I am also gravely concerned about the harm to Canadians that a Poilievre government would bring.

In a sane world, the fact that the CPC openly and joyfully supported the occupation of downtown Ottawa by the "Freedom Convoy" would disqualify them from even appearing in civilized society.
This is not simple politics; it's whether we're ready to tolerate fascism.

Obviously, Jeffrey Goldberg has the texts that Hegseth claims that he doesn’t have. The Senate or House Armed Services Chairs can easily and quickly verify who is lying about this. If Hegseth blatant lied about this on camera tonight, how in the world can he continue in this job?

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.
