A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

Perhaps the most striking number is this: Conservatives spent $39 million on advertising in a single year. Almost $100 million was spent trying to convince Canadians Poilievre was ready to be prime minister. After all that spending, Canadians elected someone else. Poilievre even lost his own seat.

SHOCK NYT REPORT: DHS now admits the man ICE killed in Houston wasn't even their target. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a 35-year U.S. resident, was just driving to work when agents — with no body cameras — shot him dead searching for two other men who weren't even in the van. Gift link in reply.

URGENT: Sign and share this petition which recommends all Canadian federal party leaders be obliged to get their SECURITY CLEARANCE. 🍁🍁🍁 Canada needs this more than ever during these times of chaos www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... #CdnPoli

Petition to the House of Commons
Whereas:
Canada faces increasing national security risks in a complex and shifting geopolitical landscape, and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) warns that political parties, elected officials, and candidates are potential targets for foreign interference;
In this context, it is in Canada’s national interest for every federal party leader to hold top-secret security clearance: This ensures that all leaders are properly briefed on potential national security threats within their respective parties and take timely, informed action to protect Canada’s interests; and
The leader of the Conservative Party of Canada refuses to seek top-secret security clearance, and this is a failure of leadership and exposes Canada to avoidable national security risks.
We, the undersigned, citizens, call upon the House of Commons to require all federal party leaders to obtain and maintain top-secret security clearance to ensure they are fully informed of threats to Canada’s national security and able to act decisively to protect Canadians and our democracy.

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

271,000 people have lost their jobs and federal spending has ctually increased. So people get less services, while we added debt paying for private jets for Kristi Noem, bulletproof cars for Kash Patel. This is what the rust belt voters demanded.

Donald Trump retweeted a post from Rapid Response 47. His post says Big news for the USA! President DJT.

The original post said Federal employment is now at the lowest level since 2014 -- down by 271,000 jobs since President Trump took office. Promises made, promises kept.

From Morten Morland at The Times of London. He's captured the ramblings of every speech the man's ever given.

A political cartoon showing Pres. Trump speaking into a microphone leading a Christmas pageant. He is saying, "At Christmas we celebrate the birth of Jesus! Great guy… He did a lot of good things, some not so good, but a lot of good things, and a lot of people love him… A lot of people love me and celebrate my birth. Maybe even more people… You go online and you see tremendous numbers, incredible numbers… And I get presents! People give me things, beautiful things, better than myrrh, but never from Santa Claus! Never from Santa… I call him "Struggling Santa" because of his crippling Trump Derangement Syndrome! A bad case. He sees a list. He goes "NO, NO, NO!" Totally rigged! Naughty list? It's a Democrat hoax! Like the lying BBC… And by the way, nobody has ever seen his birth certificate. But crooked Biden let him bring things in by the sleighload! No tariffs! Santa Claus has been terrible for this country, but we're looking into it, and we're going to do something about the North Pole very soon!

Scientists at Canadian institutions have long punched well above our weight despite low and stagnant funding. Spending a billion dollars on external recruitment while science here is starving is exactly what Harper got wrong about supporting research excellence in Canada.

Earlier this year, in response to RFK's comments about EDCs making more trans/nonbinary people, I was interviewed by a journalist from 'Undark' about this subject. I said a lot more than what was included probably because my comments were a bit more inflammatory than what they wanted to report.

1/ More than 35 years ago, 14 women lost their lives in École Polytechnique in Montreal as a result of anti-feminist violence. Today, across the country, we honour their memories, say their names, and re-commit to the collective work of changing the conditions that enabled their deaths.
