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."
In the first eleven months of 2025, 10,109 doctoral-trained scientists left the federal government. The losses were concentrated in agencies that fund medical research, regulate environmental standards and model climate. https://t.co/nSmJOdUu63?
"A 'private' facility that is being paid for by the US government, staffed by the US government, and is holding detainees captured by the US government."
Follow the money on this one. It is rotten to the core.
The Pentagon just lent $620,000,000 to a tiny North Carolina startup called Vulcan Elements. The company is two years old.
It had fewer than 50 employees.
And three months before the deal was announced, Donald Trump Jr.’s venture firm quietly took a stake in it.
Here is the part the administration tried to bury.
Of the dozens of companies the Pentagon was weighing, Vulcan was the only deal initiated by a top White House aide. That aide was Peter Navarro, a close friend of Trump Jr. The order came down to move fast.
One official put it plainly: The call came from the White House. We have to get this done.
Staff worked late nights to push it through in weeks. Deals like this normally take many months of vetting. And when it closed, Vulcan’s valuation jumped from about 200 million dollars to roughly 2 billion.
A windfall for the investors, including the president’s son.
This is public money. Your money.
Routed through the Pentagon to enrich the president’s family and their friends. The Bush administration’s own chief ethics lawyer called it corruption we pay for.
And there is more coming.
A drone parts company Trump Jr. holds a stake in is also under Pentagon review.
This is not a one-off. It is a pattern. The president’s family is treating the federal Treasury like a private bank, and the bill lands on every taxpayer.

🚨 BREAKING: Trump's 250th anniversary celebration is completely collapsing. After celebrities backed out to avoid his toxic brand, he is desperately trying to cancel the event and turn it into a MAGA rally.
The Trump administration is facing a massive cultural backlash.
It’s clear Mama Dog had difficulty breathing and at least three worried citizens notified ACS staff that according to public documents did nothing. She wasn’t seen by their vet clinic. ZERO MEDICAL CARE. #A807380#SanAntonioACS#SanAntonio#SanAntonioTexas@RealPaulMueller
There is not enough anti-ballistic missile production in the United States and this could lead to a crisis in different parts of the world. Russia is ramping up its internal production of ballistic missiles. I sent a letter to the White House and to the U.S. Congress. I hope they will understand and respond.
60–65 anti-ballistic missiles per month, compared to current challenges, is nothing. It is no secret and Russia knows this. We need to expand the production. I asked the previous U.S. administration, and I am asking today’s administration to give Ukraine licenses to produce Patriot missiles.
We can increase the production of Patriot missiles. This will help us. This will help the Middle East and any other country that the United States decides to help. Until we produce a European anti-ballistic system, we will need support from the United States.

Families living next to data centers are facing nonstop noise, pollution, and higher utility bills.
Over the last five years, electricity costs are up as much as 267% for families near these data centers.
Enough is enough.
Doug Ford ran on protecting Ontario from American threats.
Then he handed Toronto’s waterfront to JP Morgan.
Nieuport Aviation, controlled by America’s largest bank, owns the Billy Bishop terminal. They bought it for $750 million and have been losing money ever since. So Ford introduced legislation to seize Toronto’s own land, override the city, and deliver the airport expansion JP Morgan needs to make its investment whole.
One of the lobbyists pushing this deal? A former senior Ford aide. The revolving door didn’t even slow down.
The Building Billy Bishop Act lets Ford expropriate almost all of the Toronto Islands. City officials warn it means gridlock, pollution, and harbour degradation. Nobody asked for this. The only winner is a New York bank.
Captain Canada. Protecting Ontario from the Americans, by handing them our waterfront.
Mark Carney has the power to stop this. And he’d better!!
"The question of whether or not Congress should impeach and remove the president isn't a question for polling. It's not a question for political consultants. ... This is a battle for the soul of the country, a battle for its democracy, a battle for its constitution and a battle for the rule of law."
Former Vice President Mike Pence slams Trump’s proposed $1.8 billion slush fund for Jan. 6 rioters:
“This talk of a weaponization fund, the idea of creating a fund that could compensate people that assaulted police officers and vandalized the Capitol that day is totally unacceptable. My hope is the administration will drop it. Drop the idea entirely."
#BREAKING: Lawrence: “…A Trump cabinet can be sure that they will never be outdone in their CRUELTY as they listened in awe to Elon Musk describing to them how he put USAID…into the wood chipper, denying food to starving people. Denying medicine to people who would die without it. Such cruelty has NEVER been OVERTLY approved by American government officials the way they all cheered on Elon Musk doing what Bill Gates called ‘The World’s richest man killing the world’s poorest children.’ They CHEERED that on.”😢
🚨THIS IS HISTORIC!
Mayor Zohran Mamdani just announced he has brought NYC’s $12 billion budget deficit…
TO ZERO!!!
And he did it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets and investing in public housing. This is what real leadership looks like.
"I don't think about Americans' financial situation"
175 more days until you get to vote against this and every Republican who enabled it to go on this long.
