Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.
If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

A thoughtful piece by @alexboyd.bsky.social in the @thestar.com, exploring difficulties trying to legislate the difference between the inevitable distortions and exaggerations in political debate, versus the systemic denigration of public life through endless propaganda and chronic bullshitting.
I wrote about a novel approach to tackling misinformation currently being discussed in Wales--and which some say Canada should try, too. What if we made a rule so politicians couldn't lie? www.thestar.com/politics/fed...
Is it time to make it illegal for politicians to lie to us?
That’s the question currently on the table in Wales, which has just released a draft of the “globally pioneering” sanctions for politicians.

I generally agree that the profit motive provides incentives to innovate to reduce costs. However this “innovation” frequently looks like cutting very important corners.

Canada’s ability to maintain independent digital and cultural policies isn’t a “nice to have” to be traded against US protectionist bullying. It’s *the* fundamental test of whether Canada can remain a sovereign country.

Anthony hits the nail on the head here and hints at a second issue. Domi and Joshua are mid-six $ contracts for bad NHLers. The team lost Marner and were supposed to bolster their depth, but they've spent a *lot* of bad money instead (all while their D gets older and slower).

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run.
We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.
