Katie Zacharia Is Trump’s New Press Secretary. But Is She a Lawyer?
Katie Zacharia told The New York Times that the confusion over her legal credentials was the result of one big misunderstanding.

My big take away from tonight’s BC Election debate: If Doerkson was premier a) he’d likely be displaced by someone else in his caucus by Easter, and b) we’d be dealing with a Danielle Smith-grade referendum on DRIPA and “foreigners”. #bcpoli @davidebybc.bsky.social

In Opinion “The United States is cutting off the kind of foreign aid that keeps children alive for 12 cents a day, but it’s willing to invest far larger sums in a dubious effort to prop up a distant economy — while effectively subsidizing tycoons who made bad investments,” Nicholas Kristof writes.

There’s no question now that Trump is taking Putin’s path to suffocate democracy in the United States. The legacy they’ve authored together is the death of the Declaration of Independence in its 224th year. Trump’s brought the republic to its first months of subservience.
