A news conference started well for Gianni Infantino. Then Trump reiterated threats to relocate World Cup games from LA and Seattle. And then the likely recipient of FIFA’s peace prize didn’t rule out launching strikes on World Cup co hosts Mexico.

This whole NYT account about the weaponization of DOJ is beyond disturbing. Kinda feels like the US government fell in January.

Buried in the Doug Ford govt's fall budget are changes that would remove parts of Wasaga beach from provincial protection. As I reported in August, those parts are 60% of the world’s longest freshwater beach and the main nesting area for the endangered piping plover: thenarwhal.ca/wasaga-beach...

Lots to think about here.
When you're endorsed by the far-right National Post, it's time to change direction: you're most certainly doing something wrong. I'd be curious to know how many card-carrying Mb NDP members are happy with Mr. Kinew's lurch to the right. #MbPoli

The Senate is still meeting and holding votes as normal despite the shutdown.
The House has not held a vote in a month and a half now solely because Mike Johnson wants to prevent the release of the Epstein Files.
They've killed our government to save their pedophiles.

A quick reminder that the House is not in session because Speaker Johnson CANCELED it, not because of the current shutdown.

i think we collectively know better than to take these official ceasefire announcements as more than just distractions from the continued atrocities on Palestinians
Israel said it would resume its ceasefire in Gaza after it pounded the area with airstrikes for over 14 hours in response to what it said were violations by Hamas.
The airstrikes killed at least 104 Palestinians, officials said, including 46 children.
