It’s time the helmet went home. Found near Caen, where Canadian forces fought during Operation Totalise in 1944, it is a powerful reminder of the Canadians who gave their lives for Europe. Today, this helmet begins its journey back home, carrying the enduring friendship between Europe & Canada 🇪🇺🇨🇦

Confident Texas Republicans *diluted* solid GOP districts in order to redraw the state's congressional map to gain five seats. Tonight's results in Virginia should have them nervous.

We should honestly start with the working assumption that the Trump administration murdered these people and buried them in a mass grave. Then, go from there. Make them prove they're alive. If they are, it should be easy to demonstrate.

Elon Musk is a leading proponent of worldwide fascism who is encouraging right-wing violence in the UK. A U.S. government that cared about democracy would cancel Musk's federal contracts and seize his national security assets. But since Trump is a fascist, he won't.

8/ That's why it was so important for Trump sycophants to take over the DoJ and FBI, so that if a pretext arose, Trump could orchestrate a dizzying campaign to shut down political opposition groups and lock up or harass its leaders. This is what could be coming - now.

Hours after posting the campaign on Instagram, the museum removed it to 'avoid any further confusion,' after many online saw the post as a 'political statement reflecting the ongoing situation in the Middle East'

We are not living in a democracy any longer when our criminal justice system is used to selectively punish the President's political opponents and give his loyalists and friends immunity. We are becoming a banana republic in front our eyes and we cannot normalize it.

Another example of Trump's corruption you might have missed: Artificial intelligence systems designed by billionaire tech CEOs should not be in charge of deciding what Medicare services seniors get. But that's exactly what Trump is proposing to make his AI industry allies rich.

Director Monarez was nominated by Trump to lead the CDC, endorsed by RFK Jr., and then confirmed by a Republican Senate. Yet when she tried to stand up for science over political ideology, she was pushed out. RFK Jr. must be fired.

A rambling and incoherent Trump wants to turn DC into his personal police state despite a 30-year low in crime. He's a pathetic wannabe dictator who wants to distract you from his connection to the Epstein files, skyrocketing costs, and his weak job numbers. Don't let him.

We are literally at the point where laws are being made and interpreted by whoever is better armed in the moment. ICE had armed security. The member of Congress did not. So the actual written law never entered into the equation.

The President of the United States has called for the arrest of the Governor of California not because he’s committed a crime, but because he’s resisting Trump. This is a crisis for our democracy. This is dangerously close to dictatorship.
