Klobuchar has Schmitt dead to rights: "The game in fact was in Maryland. For a senator to have false information & imply, based on confusion about name of a team, that you were in another city & somehow involved that day in what was happening in Georgia & call you a 'dirtbag' deserves an apology"

Jack Smith: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation ... rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 election, he engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power"

This is the part many Americans -- including the Bezosites at the Washington Post -- don't understand. Canadians don't see this just as a Trump thing. It's that America elected him twice, and the second time with an even bigger mandate. The problem we're addressing is America, not Trump.

Lots of folks are comparing McConnell’s vote today to Feinstein’s finals days in the senate. The main difference is that Feinstein was co-sponsoring legislation to expand voting rights, while McConnell voted to cut SNAP and end environmental protections.

The thing you want to do right before an election where your party is on the ropes is get into a knock down, drag out fight over getting your name on another guy’s memorial. Real kitchen table stuff there.

I personally know these women & applaud them, but their moderate approach is part of the problem. Nothing will change unless they swing for the fences. If active LDS women stopped attending church altogether - full, sustained boycott - UT would grind to a halt. Thats how to make real progress in UT.

Ships traveling between the upper Great Lakes and the Atlantic must pass through Canada’s Welland Canal. The 27-mile canal and all eight of its locks are entirely in Ontario, meaning a strategically important portion of U.S. Great Lakes maritime trade depends on Canadian-controlled infrastructure.

One strategy that a lot of people are going to use to rehabilitate their image in the post-Trump world is to claim that while they nominally supported Trump — because he was the least-bad option — they privately hated and disagreed with him the whole time.

I think pollsters will be surprised by how the numbers shake out in next week’s Michigan Senate primary, especially in Detroit. The idea that the Black community doesn’t care about Israel/Palestine may once have been true, but Trump’s Middle East fuck-ups have likely put it on everybody’s radar.
