I have a Masters degree in Leadership and like to cheer on the good guys. We need a court for crimes against the planet and a Professional College to regulate journalism.
I support a #BlueStateNation to end #USRussia.

Our hearts are in Tumbler Ridge tonight with the families of those who have lost loved ones.

Government will ensure every possible support for community members in the coming days, as we all try to come to terms with this unimaginable tragedy.
1/2 The RCMP have ended the emergency alert in Tumbler Ridge. Police do not believe there are any outstanding suspects or ongoing threat to the public.
Today’s devastating events are sending shockwaves through the community and the entire province.

Tumbler Ridge is a small planned resource community, a winding 90 minute drive from the nearest city of at least 10,000 people.

A massive number of people are going to descend there tomorrow.

May those that arrive have respect and grace for the unimaginable grief.

This was Mike Johnson's third failed rule vote of the 119th Congress, bringing him closer to tying the modern era record for rule failure in the House.

Which is currently held by... Mike Johnson, from the 118th Congress
RULE VOTE FAILS, 217-214.

Three Republicans- Thomas Massie, Kevin Kiley, and Don Bacon - buck the party to allow floor consideration of measures to end Trump's tariffs.

The first such measure, likely on Canada tariffs, could come up as soon as tomorrow
Republicans have been holding this vote open for 40 minutes or so, but the holdouts- Massie, Kiley, Bacon, reportedly left the Capitol. The absent Republican is Greg Murphy (R-NC), who has missed a lot of time since a mid December surgery.

Not clear why Johnson is still holding this vote open

America desperately needs a functioning and independent House as a check on Trump’s chaos and mania. It will never have that as long as Mike Johnson is Speaker. Every vote for a House Republican is a vote to give Trump unchecked power for two more years.

Several survivors of Epstein's global child trafficking ring are now dangerously exposed because the DOJ is either spectacularly sloppy or trying to intimidate people. Or both.

Attorney General Pam Bondi comes before @democrats-judiciary.house.gov tomorrow. We'll be demanding answers.

PM Mark Carney stands up for his athletes, backs them publicly & treats them with respect!

Trump sits on the sidelines hurling “loser” like a toddler with a microphone!

Leadership vs. loudmouth

One lifts people up. The other degrades them

Can we talk about how batshit crazy it was for Trump to post that China was going to permanently cancel the Stanley Cup if Canada signs a trade deal with them, or do we just assume at this point that he’s completely psychotic?

Rep. Jamie Raskin now says Trump's name is mentioned "more than a million times" in the un-redacted version of the Epstein files that were released nearly two weeks ago.

This doesn't include the other three million files that have yet to be released.

A million times in the first 3.5 million files.

Small business owners represent the American Dream. But the fear and uncertainty caused by Operation Metro Surge has been a crushing blow to business.

We need an end to this campaign of retribution and we need to reopen Minnesota for business.
