ICYMI: Pam Bondi told the American Bar Assn she's ending its access to nonpublic info about Trump's judicial nominees as it "no longer functions as a fair arbiter of nominees’ qualifications."

Join me in remembering the qualifications of Trump's first-term picks. 😃

Reupping this, as we prepare for another wave of dangerous storms: Too many people only pay attention to the way Trump is “transforming” government when they are personally impacted. Too many people don’t miss much-maligned government services until they are absent. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

As Joe Biden fights cancer, Trump’s administration is gutting the very science that could save lives. We’re not just losing funding, we’re losing data, progress, and hope. What happens to the research when the labs go dark?

Business strategy in the Trump era: Don’t invest, don’t expand, just wait.
Because the only thing less predictable than a tariff… is the next one.

Trump’s remark on May 4 about not knowing whether he needs to “uphold the Constitution” comes just a little more than 100 days after he swore an oath to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." That’s saying the quiet part out loud.

Some facts about LPC performance under PM Mark Carney’s leadership:

Largest vote total for any party ever
Largest LPC share of popular vote since 1980
Largest seat count in QC since 1980
Largest seat count in BC ever
Seats in every province

Put aside the lies and the open defiance of the Supreme Court, as well as the cruelty, and ask yourself: who talks like this? This is the *official* account of the *White House* - is it being run by a six year old?

This bill disenfranchises a whole lot of women, but it disproportionately disenfranchises Republican women. Married women lean Republican. Married women who change their names definitely lean Republican. Seems a little self-defeating.

Sure was a lucky break for those billionaires to be at the White House today when the tariffs were reversed. Good day in the market for them.

No executive order has the potential to do more permanent damage to our constitutional system than the one Trump signed last week targeting free and fair elections. It is both an unconstitutional power grab and a clear violation of federal law. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

in regards to dealing with bullies, this applies equally to individuals, corporations and even countries.
So appeasement doesn't work. Because they'll just want more.
