Another banger from @sarahkendzior
"US power structures were already corrupt — otherwise they wouldn’t have been easy to subvert — but their Trump-era capture is near compete. Organized crime has abandoned even the pretense of legitimate government: that’s why Trump’s son-in-law is “negotiating” two wars as a private citizen. The litmus test of whether the US is a mafia state has always been Kushner. It is a test that Jeffries and Schumer repeatedly fail."

"The combined rule of Jeffries, Schumer, and Trump is a disaster for democracy. The US cannot have a NYC trifecta — two of whom used to celebrate Roy Cohn’s birthday at Studio 54 (Trump and Schumer) and all of whom are drenched in AIPAC and Big Tech money — and expect its sovereignty to survive."

Canada is the EU’s closest partner outside Europe.
That's why we're at the European Political Community Summit in Dublin. To build our collective security, create new economic opportunities, and reinforce our sovereignty.
We need to stop selling weaponry to foreign governments that use it to do the worst things, including genocide and apartheid and war. https://t.co/7nhYsPB3q6
Because you had 8 of the 11 missing members of your caucus attend an AIPAC event at the same time as the impeachment proceedings vote.
Hope that helps.
Canadians will be like "omfg Blue Wave in the US, democracy is saved" and then not care about the fact that Regions like Niagara, Waterloo, Peel, etc can't democratically elect their leader anymore and instead are appointed by the Province aka Doug Ford.

Abdul El-Sayed absolutely destroys Donald Trump.
Q: You recently called President Trump the dumbest effing guy who ever was president.
AES: True.
Q: You've also said Democrats should drop the decorum and treat the president as the unserious fool that he is.
AES: True.
Q: Why are you taking that approach?
AES: Because he's a bully alongside being a narcissist. And the only way you deal with bullies is to stand up to them. Bullies don't bully you because they necessarily care for the thing you have. They bully you because they like to bully you because it makes them feel strong. And the way you take on a bully is to bully back. Because then they learn that this does not make them feel strong. It makes them feel weak and they don't like to feel weak. So they back off. And the more you let a bully get away with bullying, the more they signal to everybody else that this person cannot be stood up to. And so I think it's important for us to stand up to him.
@tylerwatt She waited 40 minutes before being triaged. After triage she was given ECG and blood draw. Then we had a 5.5 hour wait (in hospital ER waiting room) before seeing doc. Unacceptable. The healthcare workers were exceptional.
It's the system itself that's broken.

Abu Dhabi’s big diplomatic breakthrough by Trump’s real-estate boys: Zelensky had to sit them down and explain, like they were five, that Ukraine isn't a distressed asset in Florida.
"I've had to explain this to the Real Estate Bros Kushner & Witkoff: the Donbass isn't my personal property to flip. I can't just gift them an extra two kilometers because it makes the term sheet look cleaner or because someone in Moscow offered a 'package deal'. The Donbas is not my building. People live there.
Try thinking about it as if Russians had already taken half of Florida and were asking Trump to hand over the rest so you two could finally close the deal and go back to building luxury resorts on the rubble."
Once again, Ukraine rejected the US plan to gift its regions to Moscow.
This is the fist bump everyone needs to be talking about.
