Thank you to Stacy for sharing her story - and for doing what any parent would do to make sure their daughter has the care she needs to live at home.

As this bill on GOP Medicaid cuts goes back to the House, it’s not too late to remind Washington politicians just how much is at stake.

It shouldn't get lost that just today, Senate Republicans have voted to close nursing homes, close rural hospitals, and cut food stamp benefits for children and veterans.

Canada is on fire.
The national media is focused on building pipelines for national unity.
Oil production is at record levels.
We are back of the pack in the G7 for failing all our environmental goals.
My latest on Canada's oil obsession.

The NDP voting against the throne speech will be incorrigible.

Sabotaging a government months after an election isn’t strategy; it’s stupidity.

If they hand Poilievre the keys out of spite, they’ll own every disaster that follows.

Grow up or get out of the way.

Mark Carney meeting Donald Trump today feels like Canada's valedictorian being forced to do a group project with the class clown. Still, proud to have a PM who shows up with brains, composure, and a full set of facts. 🇨🇦

BREAKING: Scientists discover that licking Poilievre’s boots is now a formal requirement for CPC membership. Spine donations no longer accepted.

Post-election accusations and actions (or lack thereof) on the part of the Conservatives makes them look like the Sore Loser Party of Canada.

This is abhorrent. The “wrong property” ruse is how the gestapo foments such fear and terror in citizens that no one dares to risk resistance. It’s a police state, protecting a dictatorship.
ICE has begun raiding the homes of American citizens. A widely shared story out of Oklahoma describes a disturbing incident where a woman and her children were dragged into their yard half-naked. Reports are mounting across multiple states of agents targeting the wrong properties.

Mark Carney: steered Canada and the UK through financial storms, PhD from Oxford, actual economist. Poilievre’s out here cosplaying competence while Carney’s outclassing him in his sleep. Canada’s most qualified PM—let’s make sure he keeps the job.

38 of the 43.

"38 of 43 experts cut last month from boards that review science and research in NIH laboratories are female, Black or Hispanic.

"The scientists typically serve five-year terms and were not given a reason for their dismissal..."

PP’s politics aren’t conservative, they’re Trumpian.
- Anti-media rhetoric? Yes
- Obsessed with “freedom” framed as deregulation? Check
- Attacks on public institutions (universities, courts)? Check
- Economic populism masking elite-serving policies? Yep
If it walks like Trump and talks like Trump…

Despite PP's fearmongering, crime in Canada has not surged over the past decade & it has decreased since the '80s & '90s. In the past decade, the crime rate has remained relatively stable. The Crime Severity Index shows no dramatic rise, certainly nothing justifying the panic the CPC is stoking.

Poilievre’s supporters include Matt Gaetz, who plead guilty to charges of sex trafficking, stalking, & bribing a federal official; and Alex Jones, who claimed that the Sandy Hook School shooting was fake & he then defamed the grieving parents. These are the sort of people who claim PP as their guy!

The CPC's proposal to weaken the Human Rights Commission is a dangerous attack on the foundation of equality and justice in Canada. Undermining this institution demonstrates that PP and his conga-line of like-minded MP candidates hold a deep disregard for human -rights, -dignity, and -equality.
