Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

as LA is burning, a swath of the country is recovering from an ice storm, Alabama is preparing for up to 6” of snow and I’m praying for the TX power grid, a reminder:
we don’t need climate action just for future generations, we need it now.
the climate crisis is here, all around us

Poilievre would also make a deal with the devil South of Canada. I don't care that he says he won't.
1) He's a known liar. His boss
2) Harper, is a Trump fan.
3) And Cons always sell off Canadian goods for a quick buck without thinking long-term.

"Journalists may be some of the last believers in the rules-based order. We live by facts and die by facts and believe facts matter. We may be some of the last inhabitants of a paradigm in which belief in justice, evidence and logic holds fast." 👏👏👏
As Guardian & Observer journalists go out again on strike today, it felt like a good moment to write about journalism. And the philosophical crisis that comes with understanding its limits. Inc details of bloodbaths in both Syria & liberal news orgs.

We believe we have a duty to tell readers the truth. Which is that this deal sucks. It’s bad for the Obs, bad for the Guardian. Bad for journalism.
Any support you can give us is hugely valued 🙏
