Any Democratic campaign that doesn't go this hard is engaged in malpractice. I don't give a fuck what losers like Mark Penn and James Carville say.

Mike Rogers has the audacity to lie to you about his plan like he didn't vote 4 times to stop you from getting cheaper medication from Canada, take $1M from Big Pharma, and vote 19 times to keep prescription drug prices higher. GTFOH.

YOU NEED TO SEE THIS Rob Bonta (California AG): “We think it’s limitless what he (Trump) will try and what he is capable of. So, if you can imagine it, we have thought of it and we have a plan.” Every attorney general should be planning for this.

See, it's good that Angie Nixon defeated Alexander Vindman! His actions seem to show he's not a person who can be trusted to do what he says. He's in it for himself and not the constituents. Let's work together to get Angie elected. We need honest people.

This should really piss us off. Mark Carney told the money class at his summit in Toronto he was going to asset flip our airports before telling Canadians. He short-circuited discussion and input from Canadians in his race to enrich the investor class. #CdnPoli #SnakesInSuits #BarbariansAtTheGate

Ontario is still writing its rules for datacentres. But Ford's pitchdeck for foreign investors explicitly markets Hamilton’s waterfront for deregulated AI datacentre development, including "sovereign" AI opportunities." Sovereign AI. Built for foreign investors. With no rules. #HamOnt

I get annoyed by the sheer scale of the mismatch. 2025 had the lowest number of homicides in Toronto in 40 years (during which our population increased by a third), and 2026 is on pace to be 20% lower than last year. Just an enormous unprecedented drop, and people are trying to drum up fear.

I co-sign this great summary from @dereklowe.bsky.social . The goal is to destroy academic science, and these are the reasons. And all the “gold standard” and “needs reform” and “not high risk” stuff is transparent bullshit to hide the ball on what they are doing.

Science
science. But let me make something clear right up front. When I talk to people about this subject (and that includes some journalists as well) and say what I'm about to at the end of this paragaph I am sometimes met with disbelief. But I mean what I say and I am trying my best to say what I mean: The Trump administration hates academic science funding, full stop. They hate where that money goes, and they hate who it goes to. They want to keep all that money for themselves, to hand out to favored cronies who can help them get elected and to steer yet more money and more power back into their hands.
That's it. That's the story. They are naturally not putting it in those words, but instead talking about "gold standard science" and the
"reproducibility crisis" and funding "bold inquiry" for "transformational
breakthroughs". This is all bullshit, and it's important to realize that. Shameless hand-waving bullshit, delivered in a how-dare-vou-
