Nor should he have the power to shutter the provincial legislature for five months. Honestly this country…

How can Smith legally even ask the questions she is asking of us?

Maybe she is hoping Rath. Sylvestre and Parker are in jail before Oct and she can call this all off?!

In America today, we rank 34th out of 35 countries in childhood poverty and millions of children are food insecure.

Maybe, just maybe, my Republican colleagues would consider holding a single hearing about how we improve the lives of American kids.

Trying to understand how it’s legal for a POTUS to tell voters he’ll ensure their state receives funding if they vote like he tells them to while promising they won’t receive the said funding if they disobey his orders on who to vote for

Thought we fought a revolution over this?

PM Carney tears apart Pierre Poilievre over campaign promises: "Once again, we have to correct the official record of Parliament. I made a number of promises during the election campaign. The first was to save Canadians from the terrible policies of the Leader of the Opposition."

Dean: You were paid $10 million to represent the president, you hang a banner of the president’s menacing face on the DOJ, you said if you were terminated, you would tell the president I love you. Is your obligation to the victims of Epstein or is your obligation to the president?

Blanche: We want to bring justice—

Dean: When?

Blanche: CAN I PLEASE FINISH?

Hey @ABDanielleSmith your government is about to needlessly harm tens of thousands of severely disabled people by dismantling AISH.

All major cities are urging you to stop. Albertans from all over are urging you to stop.

Please stop before people are hurt.

One day we will look back on the murder of “60 Minutes” as one of the travesties of Trump’s reign.

In the meantime, thank you Scott Pelley for telling the truth. Thank you, former “60 Minutes” producers, correspondents, and staff, for telling the truth.

And now, we should boycott CBS. https://t.co/dusMiZXyVn

1/ I see that NatPost once again fails to be fully transparent.

In their interview with Preston Manning about the Alberta separatism issue, they neglect to mention that Manning was recently awarded more than $250k by Danielle Smith's government for a farcical report on

Someone is going to have to break it to President Trump that the cognitive screening test and the Mensa IQ test aren't the same.

Rubio: I have never seen Trump fall asleep.

Lieu: I’m going to show you a video that shows you just lied to congress. Here is a video of him asleep while you are talking.

Rep. Madeleine Dean: "What is true is that the president has lied about being on Epstein's plane, and the unredacted files prove that. There's a lot in here. It's all covered up."

Nobel-prize winning psychiatrist joins 35 doctors calling for Donald Trump's removal, warning that the US President is a "clear and present danger" to the world. People, please listen to these medical professionals. The time is now. https://t.co/UbnErH0kAg

BLANCHE: The president chooses to pardon is not a problem, period

IVEY: What's the legal basis for that?

BLANCHE: The Constitution

IVEY: The Constitution does not give him the authority to pardon in exchange for payments. It does not permit bribery

It’s metastatic bone cancer that spread from the prostate. They caught the bone issue quite early and with radiation and hormone therapy it’s under control, but he will live with cancer for the rest of his life. Listen man- I understand if you don’t like my Dad’s politics and you hate me because you believe everything Fox News has told you. I’m fine with that, but my Dad has cancer. How is that an issue you want to attack. What sickness is in you that makes that fair game Patrick.

RUBIO: The video you just showed me now he was not falling asleep

LIEU: So you're lying again? You're lying to Congress, Secretary Rubio. Here's video from a French news channel mocking Trump for falling asleep at a Memorial Day ceremony.

Oh boy….

A new ID card sounds “common sense”…but let’s look at what was ALSO announced this month

1. A new ID card that encodes your citizenship status
2. 5 referendum questions d to ration public services by citizenship status

This is potentially VERY bad…🧵
