They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida.
If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

Either Trump was in the Epstein files
Or Musk lied about his pal being a nonce.

This is it, exactly. Just more cosplay.
The joke of the weekend is going to be a man who was so scared that he had his daddy keep him from having to fight in a war...and is now having a military parade to try and convince people that he is brave. #BoneSpurs

CARNEY: "Aristotle once taught that virtue is like a muscle that grows with exercise. We become just by doing just acts, brave by doing brave acts, empathetic when we show empathy, when we are kind, kindness grows. When we are Canadian, Canada grows. Pride. Is. Canadian."

On D-Day, 14,000 Canadians landed at Juno Beach, supported by the Royal Canadian Navy and the RCAF. The day saw 1,074 Canadian casualties, including 359 killed. It was a watershed moment in human history.
Here are Canadians stories from that day.

A new report found that Elon Musk faced at least $2.37 billion in potential legal liability from 11 federal agencies on inauguration day.
Many are now on DOGE's chopping block or have dropped their investigations into Musk's corporations.
"Conflict of interest" is an understatement.

"...it's not that Skippy doesn't have a security clearance... it's that Skippy won't get a security clearance"
The candidate that places his interests first during a campaign, will not place Canada's interests first after the election.
Actions speak louder than words (slogans)

The Vietnamese word for a ladybird, bọ rùa, means “turtle bug.” The Ukrainian word, сонечко (sonechko), means “little sun.” And the Norwegian word, marihøne, means “Mary’s chicken.” But my favourite word for a ladybird will always be the Welsh buwch goch gota, which I’d translate as “stubby red cow”

I am old enough to remember when a movie character said "PAPERS PLEASE" it was a universally understood signifier of an evil regime
A co-worker of mine (who is a judge), traveled by train from Montana to North Dakota for work this week. The train made a stop in Havre, MT, where ICE agents—armed and dressed in full military-style tactical gear—boarded the train.
