Trump definition of equity

•Cuts a half billion dollars in services and programs to support Americans.

•Accepts luxury jet from foreign autocrat worth a half billion dollars to use as Airforce One

Who would’ve guessed when the Supreme Court ruled that nothing the President does in their official duties is illegal that the President would then do clearly illegal things. Shocking! #uspoli www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
Even MAGA Republicans Are Torching Trump for Accepting Jet From Qatar
Some of Donald Trump's fiercest defenders in the Republican Party and MAGA movement are criticizing the administration accepting a jet from Qatar.

What did we learn engaging in focus group discussions with climate action leaders from government, NGOs, and academia? One of the clear themes is the need for skills in ‘sensemaking’ the implications of change with publics who may feel apprehension about them. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Trump has turned this Oval Office meeting into a giant bullshit gossip sesh. He’s like the old guy who sits at the end of the bar all day just spouting random nonsense. #canpoli #uspoli

Trump is now filibustering his Oval Office meeting with Mark Carney. #uspoli #canpoli
May 6, 2025 at 4:27 PM
Carney was late to the Oval Office meeting because the Trump team needed 20 more minutes to apply another coat of bronzer to his face. #canpoli #uspoli

Who else is expecting Trump to complain to Carney that “You haven’t said thank you once for me helping you win the election” #canpoli #uspoli

I’m so confused by the folks who said that raising the minimum wage would increase the price of every day goods while also being okay with tariffs raising the price of every day goods…

I reckon they are okay paying higher prices as long as it doesn’t help anyone making a minimum wage.

With all the talk of product shortages , I think it should be said that products will first find their way to densely populated areas first and everywhere else, last

This certainly will hurt all those red counties. How they react to their shelves being everything will define the midterms

Well…at least one Canadian province doesn’t want to see our electoral politics devolve into a two party system. #Canpoli #Elxn45

Big congrats to @gregorrobertson.bsky.social who I’m excited to have as my new MP here in South Burnaby! Looking forward to seeing the contributions you’ll make in this new government with the experience and insight you bring to key challenges and opportunities facing 🇨🇦

We put up signs, knocked on doors, made phone calls, and on Election Day I had my first experience as a “runner” doing double duty on data entry for GOTV. I wish the outcome was different but it was an honour to volunteer for @jagmeetsingh.ca a truly kind and good man who has made a difference in 🇨🇦

One of the biggest national security disasters in many years and it was 2 weeks ago
Remember when top Trump officials used an unsecured app, Signal, to share confidential military plans & then lied about it and they continue to expose our national security to potential foreign countries and enemies by using unsecure communications and most of them still have their jobs? Fun times.

There is a real risk that misinformation, disinformation, and unfounded rumors will add further chaos to the market uncertainty the Trump tariffs have caused. Where Trump goes, these things follow. #uspoli #Markets #TrumpTariffs #2025Crash
INSANE market action right now. Market exploded higher on a headline attributed to Kevin Hassett. And now nobody can figure out where it came from and the markets are diving again.

An 8% surge and then a 3.5% plunge in a matter of seconds

Trump is going to lead the entire world to economic ruin and maybe even all out war just because he doesn’t understand, whatsoever, what a trade deficit or a tariff is. #TrumpMeltdown #TrumpTariffs #China
