#ableg WTAF??? Danielle Smith is a COWARD. She REFUSED to side with Canada. She PROUDLY sided with MAGA. She ORDERED a separatist referendum. She will SUFFER the same fate as Trump. Time for her to find out

Well, I don’t know, man, but looking back at that February 2025 Oval Office shitshow, some 20 months later, one guy from that meeting is bombing Moscow and St. Petersburg on a daily basis, another has suffered a spectacular failure in Iran and a crushing electoral defeat, and the third, the one with the big mouth, may well have kissed his presidential ambitions goodbye. So, who had the cards?

I can’t believe how Bob Dylan was dressed when he had his audience with Pope Leo.
Pope Leo XIV met with American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan in a private audience on Wednesday, November 4.

Tonight, the American people sent a clear message β€” they want a politics that brings people together rather than divides them, and leaders who offer concrete solutions to the challenges they face. These results were only possible because outstanding candidates stepped forward in every region of the country β€” including in areas once considered long shots. They came from different backgrounds and represented a range of political perspectives, but were united by shared values, a belief in public service, and a commitment to putting the people of their districts and states first. We also owe a debt of gratitude to the thousands of election officials and volunteers from both parties who helped ensure a smooth election and carried out one of the most essential functions of our democracy. While this administration has another two years in office, our job now is to roll up our sleeves, make changes wherever we have the power to do so, prevent further damage, and lay the groundwork for the future.

Good! I’m proud to have a prime minister with such a strong backbone.
Mark Carney: "Russia and Belarus are supporting this illegal and unjustified horrific war in Ukraine, as long as that's going on, there will be none of those athletes competing for their countries in Canada. So if you're asking specifically about the World Juniors, the Russians will not be there."

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney just announced that Russia will not be permitted to compete at next month's world junior tournament in Alberta as long as the Ukraine invasion continues.

If your partner is neurodivergent and she stops dead in the parking lot to point at the sunset, learn the word glimmer. Her nervous system is on alert most of the day. A glimmer is a tiny moment that tells it, for a second, that it's safe. She grabs every one she can find. You think she's slowing you down. Don't keep walking and say "Come on, babe." Stop. Stand behind her. Look where she's pointing. "Show me." She's been told to grow up her whole life by people who never stopped to look.

Once the UCP in Alberta gerrymanders a district like this, there’s no going back. The precedent is set and the cycle begins. Democracy in the province will rot even faster than it’s rotting now. Draw the battle lines and dig in for a fight, because this one matters.

here's the entirety of the seeming mental breakdown Haley Stevens just had on CNN. One of the most bizarre and incoherent political interviews I can recall. Note how she's completely unable to explain why she changed her mind from supporting Abdul El-Sayed last night to endorsing Mike Rogers today.

Never ignore the warning signs of a stroke: Facial droop Arm weakness Speech difficulty Time to call 9-1-1
From Sen. Chris Murphy’s staff: β€œYesterday afternoon, Senator Murphy started experiencing numbness in his arm while at his son’s hockey game. He was taken to a local hospital, where it was discovered he had experienced a stroke. He was transferred to Johns Hopkins for further monitoring and is responding well to treatment. The doctors are encouraged by his progress, he is awake and alert, and we are optimistic he will make a full recovery.”
