I’m old enough to remember when Secretary Hegseth tried to publicly mock Judge Reyes—suggesting that she didn’t know what she was doing when it comes to protecting our national security.
It was … two days ago.

😳 When Alberta Premier Danielle Smith demanded Mark Carney call a federal election after he was sworn-in as Prime Minister ten days ago, she probably didn’t expect that a two week old interview with the American alt-right Breitbart website would be making headlines on the first day of the campaign.
