A reporter asks Trudeau about Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly’s characterization of the current U.S. situation which she called a "psychodrama."

"How would you characterize it?"

Trudeau, speaking for a weary nation, “Thursday."

Holy shit.

“USAID’s inspector general was investigating a public-private partnership involving Musk’s company just before Musk shut the agency down.

Key USAID web pages mentioning Musk’s company have suddenly vanished from the agency’s website.”

Follow the money.

On today’s episode of “if Obama”

If Obama fired over a dozen inspectors general in the middle of the night, the media would have (appropriately) excoriated him over the illegality and absolutely tanked his approval ratings

Trump does it, and CNN calls it a “shakeup”

Shameful.

Trump firing 17 independent inspectors general means that Project 2025 is up and running. He will try and install loyalists in their place.

Additionally, most of Trump’s executive orders have come straight from Project 2025.

We tried to warn people, and now it’s happening.

ICE is cruelly harassing & detaining our Indigenous citizens.

The DOJ argued in court that Indigenous people don’t have birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment.

Please call your reps and senators to speak out against this travesty.

Call script & phone number in thread.

#AnthonyFauci dared to commit the one mortal sin for which there can never be any forgiveness: he stood in the face of their bloviating, belligerent spray-tanned savior—and spoke truth that could actually save lives.

That's why they despise him.

Inspectors General are tasked with rooting out government waste. They have been purged by Trump because they could also identify his corruption.

DOGE is tasked with *pretending* to root out government waste. It has been installed to promote corruption to benefit Trump and his loyalest cronies.

Under the GOP's SAVE Act, Tribal IDs would NO LONGER be accepted as valid identification to register to vote.

This is a direct attack on the voting rights of Native American communities.
