Mike Myers says he would ‘literally be nothing’ without Canada during Screen Awards speech https://t.co/GJa9vhPUmg

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

Congratulations to Mike Myers on receiving the Icon Award at the 2026 Canadian Screen Awards. 

You’ve made Canada so proud 🇨🇦

Swedish PM Ulf Kristersson: "We joke in Sweden and say that Canada is the most Nordic country in the world outside the Nordics. For us it's really a way of saying that we appreciate Canada because we think we have so many common denominators."

#BREAKING: Psaki: “…I have to start tonight with a story that in any other administration, would be grounds for opening an impeachment inquiry, because today ProPublica reported that the White House intervened to get a $620 million deal for a company tied to President Trump’s adult son @DonaldJTrumpJr…the deal in question involved a startup focused on rare earth magnet production called Vulcan Elements and last Summer, Don Jr’s venture capital firm took an undisclosed stake in that company, and wouldn’t you know…three months later, the Pentagon announced that it was giving Vulcan Elements a $620 million loan.”🙄🤦‍♀️

The family of a child who was repeatedly raped by a man who Ken Paxton let off with no new jail time is speaking out:

“The fact that Attorney General Ken Paxton allowed this man to get away with molesting and sexually abusing [our] son for three years is completely disqualifying.

Adam Hoffman could have faced life in prison. Instead, Ken Paxton and his office offered him a deal that kept him off the sex-offender registry and included no new jail time.”

Dr. Jonathan Reiner: "The president has severe daytime somnolence. He falls asleep very often. He's fallen asleep in the Oval Office on multiple occasions with people talking to him in the cabinet room, and I was concerned yesterday that he might have fallen asleep at Arlington National Cemetery during Memorial Day observances. Chronic insomnia is a severe illness. It can result in an increase in risk of dementia, decrease in cognitive effects in older people."

And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media.

A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.

Lets make this viral again 👇

ChatGPT diagnosed 40 million people with a disease that was invented as a joke.

Not a real disease. Not a misunderstood disease. A completely fictional condition with a fake name, fake papers, and fake statistics.

And it told patients to see a specialist.

The disease is called Bixonimania. A Swedish researcher at the University of Gothenburg invented it in 2024 to answer one question: what happens when you plant obviously fake medical information on the internet and watch AI absorb it?

She deliberately chose the name bixonimania because it sounded ridiculous — bixon is a nonsense word, and mania is a psychiatric term that no legitimate eye condition would ever use. She uploaded two papers to a preprint server. Both were obviously fraudulent. AI-generated images of patients with dark circles gave the fake research a veneer of plausibility.

Then she waited.

She did not have to wait long.

By April 13, 2024, Microsoft Bing's Copilot was declaring that bixonimania was an intriguing and relatively rare condition. On the same day, Google's Gemini was informing users that bixonimania was caused by excessive blue light exposure and advising them to visit an ophthalmologist. Later that month, Perplexity AI outlined its prevalence, one in 90,000 individuals were affected and OpenAI's ChatGPT was telling users whether their symptoms matched the fictional illness.

One in 90,000. A precise statistic. For a disease that does not exist.

Every red flag was visible. The name was absurd. The papers were crude. The condition made no scientific sense. None of the AI systems flagged any of it.

They read the fake papers. They absorbed the fake statistics. They presented both to patients with clinical authority and zero hesitation.

Then it got worse.

Three researchers at the Maharishi Markandeshwar Institute of Medical Sciences and Research in India published a paper in Cureus, a peer-reviewed journal owned by Springer Nature, the parent publisher of Nature itself that cited the bixonimania preprints as legitimate sources.

A real peer-reviewed paper. In a Springer Nature journal. Citing a fictional disease as established medical fact. Passing editorial review. Entering the permanent scientific record.

It was only retracted after the hoax became public.

Nature published a full investigation of the experiment. Alex Ruani, a health-misinformation researcher at University College London, called it a masterclass in how misinformation operates.

Here is the scale of what this means.

More than 40 million people turn to ChatGPT every day for health information, according to OpenAI's own analysis. ECRI, a US patient-safety nonprofit has named chatbot misuse the number-one health technology hazard of 2026. ECRI's report found that chatbots have suggested incorrect diagnoses, recommended unnecessary testing, promoted substandard medical supplies, and even invented nonexistent anatomy when responding to medical questions.

Number one. Out of every health technology hazard that exists in 2026.

An April 2026 study published in BMJ Open found that nearly half of the answers provided by leading AI chatbots to common health questions contain misleading or problematic information.

Nearly half. Of all health answers. From the tools 40 million people use every day.

Here is the line from the researcher that cuts through everything.

The Bixonimania case is striking precisely because it was engineered to be so obviously fake. The real question it raises is: what is passing through the same systems that is not nearly so easy to spot?

The experiment used a ridiculous name. Fraudulent papers. Visible red flags at every level.

It was designed to be caught.

It was not caught.

The AI that told patients about Bixonimania is the same AI they asked about their chest pain, their medication, their child's symptoms, and their cancer screening schedule.

40 million people. Every day.

And nobody is telling them that nearly half of what comes back may be wrong.

🇺🇸 Chemical catastrophe in California is now inevitable

Fire crews in Orange County spent hours trying to stabilize a 34,000-gallon tank containing volatile chemicals before announcing that the tank “cannot be secured or mitigated.”

Officials say the situation has narrowed to two possibilities: a catastrophic spill of toxic chemicals or a thermal runaway event capable of igniting neighboring tanks.

Fun

[Oddland66 🇺🇸 @Oddland66]

“There are literally two options left remaining," Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) Division Chief Craig Covey said. "One, the tank fails and spills a total of about 6,000 to 7,000 gallons of very bad chemicals into the parking lot in that area, or two, the tank goes into a thermal runaway and blows up, affecting the tanks that are around them that have fuel or the chemicals in them as well."

Good morning, from Canada.
This rainbow was a spectacular double arch, uncannily bright, but what I love best was how the rainbow's end silhouetted our rippling flag. The Maple Leaf, Forever.

So Trump’s ambassador to Canada actively promoted an app built by a Michigan MAGA group called 10xVotes. That same app is now at the centre of one of the biggest privacy scandals in Canadian history.

The Centurion Project, Alberta’s separatist group, used it to scrape personal data on nearly 3 MILLION Albertan voters. Now Elections Alberta, the Privacy Commissioner, and the RCMP are all investigating.

Hoekstra says he “wasn’t aware” of the connection. But the guy running the Centurion Project said publicly, on a podcast, that 10xVotes has been advising him behind the scenes for over a year. Hoekstra personally knows the app’s founder.

So the US ambassador to Canada promoted a voter ID tool, that tool ended up in the hands of a group trying to break up Canada, and that group illegally obtained private data on millions of Canadians.

This isn’t a conspiracy theory. It’s confirmed by PressProgress, CBC, and Elections Alberta’s own investigation.
Foreign interference in Canadian democracy!!

🚨BREAKING: Republicans just voted AGAINST my amendment to stop Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund from bailing out the convicted felons who assaulted cops on January 6th.

You read that right. They blocked us from even debating the issue on the House floor.

Beyond shameful.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This New York Times piece is worth your time. Here’s what is happening, as simply as I can put it.

Back in January, Trump sued the IRS, an agency he controls, demanding $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns a number of years ago.

IRS lawyers did their jobs. They wrote a memo laying out the defenses that could beat the suit, including the fact that Trump filed too late. His own lawyer was in court when the leaker pleaded guilty in October 2023, more than two years before Trump sued.

The Justice Department never showed up to court. Never argued back. Never used the defenses sitting on their desk.

The judge got suspicious and ordered both sides to explain whether they were actually opposing each other or just colluding. The day before that brief was due, Trump dropped the suit.

Same day, his Justice Department announced a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded “anti-weaponization fund.” 

Trump gets a formal apology. The IRS agrees to drop any audits of him and his family, even though a 2024 Times report found a loss in an ongoing audit could cost him over $100 million.

The acting Attorney General, Trump’s former criminal defense attorney, picks the five commissioners who decide who gets paid. Trump can fire any of them. Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are not ruled out.

This is the most corrupt thing I’ve ever seen from an American president.

Where in the hell are my Republican colleagues?

Springsteen on Colbert:

"I’m here in support tonight for Stephen, because you are the first guy in America who lost his show because we got a president who can't take a joke….and because Larry and David Ellison feel they need to kiss his ass to get what they want. Stephen, these are small-minded people. They got no idea what the freedoms of this beautiful country are supposed to be about" 🔥

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

Trump didn’t just pardon his followers who stormed the U.S. Capitol.

He’s now set them up for payments through a slush fund he created to reward his allies—out of your tax dollars.

You could not make this up.

[Scott Robertson @sarobertson_]

PM Carney: "There's lots of cooperation [with the US], we will continue to do so. But we will also be cooperating with other partners and diversifying our defence cooperation as we should as a member of NATO and in critical areas such as Ukraine ... Ukraine is going to triumph and we're going to be on the right side of history for that."

Massive bombshell on MS NOW. Top security reporter David Rohde reveals US intelligence is completely panicking as private Chinese companies prepare to supply advanced anti-aircraft missiles to Iran.
He confirms these powerful weapons can easily destroy American warplanes.

BREAKING: Jen Psaki just hit a MAJOR nerve with a story on Eric Trump’s China trip — and now he’s suing her.

As she does most every night on her MS Now program, Jen Psaki did a monologue on a current topic in the news. This time, however, Eric Trump lost his mind over what she had to say
.
The 42-year-old executive vice president of the Trump Organization took to X Wednesday night to threaten a lawsuit against Psaki and MS NOW after she reported on his presence alongside his father during the presidential trip to China — and connected it to a Financial Times story about a family-linked company pursuing a deal with a Chinese chipmaker tied to the Communist Party.

"I have NEVER been on the board of ALT5," Eric fumed, adding that he has "zero business interests in China. No properties, no investments, nothing!" He concluded by insisting he joined the trip purely as "a loving son who adores my father."

Sweet. But Psaki didn't make up the Financial Times reporting. She cited it.

That report describes how ALT5 Sigma — a fintech company connected to Eric and the Trump family's crypto venture, World Liberty Financial — has a memorandum of understanding to explore a deal with a Chinese computer chip manufacturer to build AI data centers. Congress has warned that the Chinese firm in question has connections to the Chinese Communist Party. Eric and his brother were photographed ringing the New York Stock Exchange opening bell with the ALT5 name displayed behind them.

Neither ALT5 nor the Chinese firm responded to the Financial Times for comment. The deal may or may not be real. But the reporting exists, and it raises exactly the questions Psaki raised.

And those questions don't stop there. Just last month, Eric was on Fox Business bragging that one of his companies scored a $24 million Pentagon contract. Don Jr.'s company landed a nearly $5 million Air Force contract. Both brothers are now part-owners of a drone company angling for major Pentagon deals — while their father's administration controls Pentagon spending.

All of this is happening while Trump's $10 billion IRS lawsuit seeks to shield the entire Trump family from financial audits. Forever.

Eric wants to sue Psaki for asking whether someone should check the books. That answer tells you everything.
