Trump’s DOJ has charged James Comey AGAIN, this time under the Espionage Act over a 2016 New York Times story. In DOJ’s own words, Comey had staff talk to a reporter to “correct misinformation” in a Reuters article.

Comey: Well, they're back again. It would almost be funny if it weren't such an appalling abuse of the DOJ. One that we cannot become numb to. Nothing's changed with me. I'm still innocent. I'm still not afraid of these people. And I still believe in the independent federal judiciary.

Eby called a snap election to strengthen his hand and handed BC its first Conservative majority since 1928. This won't end well. Different party than the federal Conservatives or Alberta's UCP, but most BC voters won't be happy with what comes next.

The next generation of Albertans at the University of Calgary are showing up for Canada — ready to build a stronger, more united country when it matters most. Remember: advance polls are open through Saturday. Referendum day is Monday. Get out and vote.

LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

To Blue Voting Americans: The way you feel about Sen. Fetterman, is how Canada, Mexico, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and more feel about your whole country right now. Betrayed and confused as to why. #USPoli #CDNPoli

I just ran the numbers, and going with 3-6 birds killed per 3,5MW turbine per year (*highly* unlikely in the highlands), and my mean consumption of 1,5kW, my house's windows kill birds about 400 times faster than powering it by wind turbine would.

I will never understand why so many of my fellow countrymen are so opposed to wind power, & in effect support hydro instead. How can you support, say, destroying all this in a 200km2 catchment area / 400km2 impact, vs. an equivalent amount of wind power, ~20 turbines / 15km2)? It boggles the mind.

Why is the media still analyzing HOW Trump will send everyone $5,000 or bring oil prices down? The better question is WILL HE. He's promised checks before and none came. After everything, why do so many reports still treat his promises as real plans?

This “game” on the White House website, a version of Snake where you play as a white man in a suit and you run around picking up identifiably black, Asian, and Latino men and putting them in orange jumpsuits, might be the most openly white supremacist thing I’ve ever seen the US government produce

“Cameras off the president right now”: Authorities forced the press pool to look away as the president had an altercation with his wife--and none of the major outlets have acknowledged this blatant assault on the freedom of the press. fair.org/home/network...

And of course Carney's response should be along the lines of, "Very well: on January second, 2027, export duties on all oil being shipped to US refineries will be set at 100%. Thank you for your attention to this needless, stupid matter!"

What led to breakdown of US-Canada trade talks? Carney says It wasn't just one thing but the cumulative set of unreasonable US demands. Conservative Premier of Saskatchewan Scott Moe backs up Carney. x.com/sqirlgirly/s...

In the coming days, we will release the details of these new tariff measures, which will come into force the Tuesday after Labour Day.

Canada will match the U.S.’ new tariffs dollar for dollar in order to protect Canadian workers, farmers, families, and businesses. We take this step confident that it is in the best interests of Canada.

Late last evening I instructed our negotiators to return to Ottawa. We cannot accept what the U.S. has offered, and we will not give what they have asked.

For over a year, Canada has worked intensively and in good faith with the United States to negotiate a new comprehensive trade deal. We have been pragmatic, patient, and persistent. Our goal has always been to get the best deal for Canadians, never a deal at any price or on any time frame.

Watching PM Carney live. So proud he is leading us through these turbulent times, and proud to be Canadian. 🇨🇦 America made a huge mistake turning Canada into an adversary after all we have built together. That trust will take generations to rebuild.

Carney: We’ve been under no illusions. We recognized from the start that America has changed

The US decision to launch a trade war against Canada while it is in the midst of a foolish war with Iran, while China is laughing at its weakness, while the deficit is exploding and bond markets are calling BS... shows that the US government is not acting in US national interest.

The President has decided that in order to make ground beef cheaper, he will cut tariffs on ground beef. And I'm wondering if he could generalize from this one product to other products, and perhaps concede that tariffs raise prices on American consumers.

Returned our 2024 Model 3 today, lease up. Saw this in the showroom, the mission rewritten as Sustainable Abundance. That wording is already dead too. Amazing Abundance now. Eight Teslas in and sustainable did not survive. We are out until that changes, or until he does. 🙄

Our service members are paying the heaviest price for Trump’s new Middle East war. The very least he can do as Commander-in-Chief is support them, not insult them.

MAGA loves to whine about inflation under Joe Biden, but they all seem to have forgotten that Biden inherited an utter economic shambles that Donny created, and fixed it faster than any other country. thank you for your attention to today's post, in which I explain it. link is here: bit.ly/4ge3XNM

If Democrats take back Congress and the White House, restoring voting rights will be a top priority, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said. While the party will focus on issues like lowering costs, he insisted it’ll also need to repair the foundations of democracy, including judicial reform.

In this iconic scene from The West Wing, the argument isn't simply about religion, it's about selective morality. Who decides which biblical laws are still moral — and which ones we leave behind? Any fans of the show? I am starting to appreciate this show more now than ever.
