The news media (and social platforms) need to be reformed. Most media should consist of non-partisan, independent, professional journalists. No left- or right-leaning bias should be present. They, along with attack ads, have undermined institutions and the government. This needs to stop.

Have you ever told yourself, ‘I’ll start again Monday’?

You’re not alone — and you’re not broken.

In today's post, I explore how the all-or-nothing mindset sneaks into our habits and keeps us stuck.

I discuss how we can start breaking that cycle, too.

Pierre Poilievre spends too much time with his MAGA friends.

Poilievre featuring PM Carney’s family on his news website isn’t just inappropriate—it’s a calculated political move that crosses a line. This isn’t about policy, leadership, or debate.

I was deeply disappointed by Rosemary Barton's conduct during a recent press conference with Prime Minister Mark Carney. Her line of questioning was unprofessional, out of line, and she ignored the serious geopolitical threats Canada is facing. Here's why you should consider filing a complaint.🍵

D. Earl Stephens sums up in this essay, everything I think most of us are feeling. About the cataclysm our democracy is facing RIGHT NOW, but also about the almost somnolent way Democratic leadership is meeting the moment.

He is warning us ALL of the inevitable.
D. Earl Stephens, retired managing editor of the military's daily newspaper, Stars and Stripes, issues a warning, not only to the average citizen of the U.S. but, I believe, to rank and file military personnel at home and around the world. He's exhorting them to consider if they will follow the orders of a madman hell bent on destroying the U.S. or follow the U.S. Constitution. --- “It would be helpful if we stopped pretending this terrible chapter in American history won’t close without bloodshed … It would be helpful if Americans, and our feeble Democratic politicians in particular, stopped implying by their comatose actions that Democracy is some damn American right and has no end date. America very well might be arriving at hers, because, yes, it really is that bad right now. Rather than bringing Ping-Pong paddles and groovy, little signs to a fascist hate-fest disguised as a State of the Union speech, it would be helpful if our meek, out-of-touch Democratic politicians at least pretended they understood the perilous moment we are standing in right now. We are in deep, deep trouble, and now would be a wonderful, necessary time to step in front of your favorite mirror and honestly ask yourself what you are willing to do to fight for our country’s survival. We are but six-plus weeks into the repulsive, wannabe-king’s second term and the damage he and his party are causing are already at catastrophic levels. Our air, water, earned benefits, peace, public safety, civil rights, and human rights are all under immediate threat. Worse? This is only the first course of many that will be served by the vindictive, orange madman, and his pathetic party of supplicants. The insults, the attacks, endless provocations, and thrashing of our Constitution will continue daily. All this carefully planned evil will be aimed at exactly one thing: breaking us. Everything he is doing is designed to pound us into submission, and he’s having a grand damn doing it.   This was entirely his aim when he and his pet mutt, JD Vance, double-teamed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the behest of Boss Putin in the Oval Office on Friday. The idea was to publicly humiliate the man who has done more to defend America’s interests across the globe than any Republican in memory. Because Zelenskyy has tasted gun powder and breathed the odious smell of death on the battlefield, he wasn't about to be pushed around by some morbidly obese, 78-year-old yacht club bully and his toady, who think swinging a sand wedge to free a golf ball from some bunker is dangerous business. Zelenskyy punched back and wasn't having it. He told the truth, and didn't back down. The future of his country is on the line right now, and he acted like it. And therein lies the playbook for dealing with this sadistic bastard — if only the cautious, too-clever Democratic Party and their weak leaders, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, bothered paying attention. While Rome burns, they dither. They act as if we have all the time in the world, when time is something that is not guaranteed right now. They seem to somehow have no idea how bad things are about to get, or most certainly will be when elections they seem to be pinning their hopes on roll around next year. Everything changed on November 5th, but by the looks of it, very little has changed in the Democratic Party. This country will never be the same, and the sooner we come to grips with that, and start acting accordingly the better. What would you do if everything you had and everyone you loved was threatened? Would you act like Zelenskyy or Schumer? One of the big mistakes of Joe Biden’s presidency was this notion that everything was going to be OK, and that his idea of America matched the actual circumstances of America. If I had a dollar for every time he said this, I’d fold up shop and move to Tahiti: “We are the United States of America – there's nothing we can't do if we do it together. We just have to remember who we are.” It was a noble statement and magical thinking that would have worked great pre-2016, when we could still believe without being laughed at that our two parties could work together in a crisis to protect America. When we were attacked by the terrible human being who is now somehow leading us January 6, 2021, that magical thinking needed to go out the nearest window. Instead, our Justice Department twiddled its thumbs and allowed the America-attacker to build himself back up, so that WE would have to deal with him AGAIN. I seethe just thinking about this, but it is where we are right now, and the sooner we all understand this the better. The clock is ticking. The bomb is in place. Which brings me back around to my original premise: At some point, he will do something so heinous … so anti-America … so dangerous … that the people who truly love our country will be forced into the streets to take a life-or-death stand. Sadly, this is actually the best-case scenario, because the worst case is we just go quietly into the dark, gloomy night and become an authoritarian country, where we have zero rights or say in how we are governed. Yesterday under the cover of his blankets, the America-attacker shared this with us: Now read the First Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; OR THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE PEACEABLY TO ASSEMBLE, AND TO PETITION THE GOVERNMENT FOR A REDRESS OF GRIEVANCES." He is telling us what he thinks of America and silly things like the Constitution. Kings don’t pay attention to that kind worthless drivel. And, really, end of the day, it not him who we have most to fear. It’s the stupid, goddam Republicans who are stubbornly in all of our lives. These are the people who have illustrated there is no known pain or sacrifice to our civil liberties or pocketbooks that they won’t absorb just for the satisfaction of watching some poor kid of color going without something they didn’t think she should have. So the choice is yours: You can continue thinking there is some magical way out of this, or you can begin to take the threat to everything you hold dear seriously, and ACT accordingly.”

Today, I met with Ambassador Hillman about U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods. While we can’t control President Trump, we can control how we respond — by supporting our workers and building a stronger, more resilient economy for our future.

The Elon Musk backed pro-Russian candidate in Romania, Calin Georgescu has been arrested. Authorities raided him like the crook he is and found at least $10 million in cash and tickets to Moscow. He may have also bumped his head a little bit too.

Donald Trump has frozen the US law banning bribery of and by foreign officials.

The order puts in place a 180-day "pause" to all investigations under the FCPA, no new ones can be opened during that period, it will also halt other Justice Department "actions.”

I've been quite active on Facebook, Instagram, and, lately, Threads. This week, I cancelled my verification due to Meta's current alignment with Musk and Trump. I've made a few political comments, but not many. Suddenly, I've been banned from commenting for three days. Isn't that strange?

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.

This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

Kamala should never have taken the high road and conceded.

Trump cheated in 2016 and didn’t get caught.

Trump cheated in 2020 and got caught.

No way he won in 2024.

I don’t believe 10m registered Dems just stayed home.

It was an inside job fascinated by Musk & Russia.

Dear J. D. Vance,
Canada was there to support Ukraine while your boss ingratiated himself with Putin.
I know you have friends in the Canadian Conservative party but don't mistake their spinelessness for how other Canadians will react in defending our sovereignty.
