“Both Russian and pro-Trump U.S. actors are amplifying and spreading misinformation about Alberta separatism in the hope of fraying Canadian unity and sowing distrust.” An overt attack on Canadian sovereignty, meant specifically to manipulate Canadians. That’s what’s fuelling Alberta separation.

Moscow has long tried to meddle in foreign elections. What's newer is Canada's neighbour overtly trying to influence and fan flames of referendum bid, warns a new report on foreign interference.

Putin cannot defeat or destroy NATO. But Trump can tear it apart for him. And he will.

If the unredacted Epstein Files exonerated Donald J. Trump, we wouldn't still be waiting for them.

No. They don't need 60 votes. They can change that rule with a simple majority like they did 11 days ago to advance 48 trump nominees at once. bsky.app/profile/muel...

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe. And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

If ICE agents show up at your door, know your rights. #ICE
IF ICE AGENTS SHOW UP AT YOUR DOOR
1. You do not have to open the door. If you do, stay calm-you have rights.
2. Ask what they are there for (and ask for an interpreter if you need one).
3. If they ask to enter, ask if they have a warrant signed by a judge and if so, ask to see it (through a window or slipped under the door).
4. If they do not have a warrant signed by a judge, you may refuse to let them in. Ask them to leave any information at your door.
5. If they force their way in, do not resist. Tell everyone in the residence to remain silent.
6. If you are arrested, you have the right to remain silent. Do not sign anything until you speak with a lawyer.
KNOW
YOUR RIGHTS

Montage of clips of Trump “guaranteeing” that he will end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours of taking office, that “it wouldn’t even be tough” for him to do, and that “everyone will be happy” with the end result.

I don’t understand why Warmonger Trump is allowing so much death & destruction to continue in Ukraine when he said he knew exactly how to end the war & would easily stop all this killing 24 hours after taking office. Why does he continue to refuse to end this? Does he like war?

God bless 🇨🇦. I love my country, 🇺🇸, enough to not decry a foreigner speaking truth about her—any more than I would laud a fellow American speaking falsehoods about her. This is a speech worth watching, and is probably infinitely kinder than Trump deserves. I am ashamed at how he is treating Canada.

The Trump campaign paid a law firm employing RFK Jr. $100,000 in the weeks after Jr. endorsed Trump. The campaign made *no* other payments to that firm during the 2023-24 election cycle. No parties involved responded to NBC News' requests for comment. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Trump campaign paid law firm employing RFK Jr. weeks after he endorsed Trump
The Trump campaign disbursed $100,000 to a California law firm that lists Kennedy as one of its attorneys three weeks after he bowed out of the race and backed Trump.

Kash Patel has endorsed weaponizing the FBI against Trump's enemies so much that Joe Biden’s considering preemptive pardons for those in his crosshairs. That alone demonstrates Patel's danger, and I urge Senate Rs to continue thoroughly vetting nominees on a case-by-case basis.
