He 100% does mean this.
At a campaign event last week, Pierre Poilievre promised an “end to the imposition of woke ideology in the federal civil service and in the allocation of federal funds for university research.”

He needs to clarify unequivocally that he doesn't mean this...

Tonight's song is dedicated to all of my friends who called the 10 Democrats who for some crazy reason voted to censure our courageous champion, Rep Al Green, the only Dem that understood the assignment on Tuesday.

I hope you seethed & handed them their @sses! I did.

AOC: It's really because Republicans— they’re very thin skinned and they're very sensitive, and their feelings are very easily hurt. And so they have to vote on censure resolutions.

Four senior members of Donald Trump’s entourage have held secret discussions with some of Kyiv’s top political opponents to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, just as Washington aligns with Moscow in seeking to lever the Ukrainian president out of his job.

They should have quietly walked out, one by one, every time he resumed speaking.
I honestly don’t understand how the Democrats can sit there and listen to Trump’s lies and gaslighting. Their silence is humiliating.

Can the Dems grow a pair and just walk out.. give the lies the respect they deserve.

A lucky trader just happened to put in a $200m trade with 50x leverage a few hours before a Trump pro-crypto announcement. The price of crypto jumped and this person made hundreds of millions. Pure luck I’m sure.

Many caveats here.

I don't understand much of this myself. I'm only trying to learn—not come to conclusions.

I post this only to ask if anyone with relevant expertise has seen this video—and its many charts—and finds it compelling.

(Do ignore the splashy title—this is a dry and sober assessment.)

This is so smart. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social , thoughts ?

And if you see this. A reminder. This is not Twitter. You can engage here and have thoughtful discussions !

We all look forward to reading your thoughts
I keep saying Dems need to do a daily briefing on Capitol Hill and fill the void, fact check the WH. Hire Pete Buttigeig and give him a staff to do this.

This is grossly irresponsible reporting by the AP. What’s being offered is not a buyout. The deal is if you agree to resign in September you can continue working remotely until then. There is no buyout or severance.
