Today we mourn Tim Curry—a singular talent, a true original, and the man who first brought Dr. Frank-N-Furter to life. He didn’t just play an icon; he created one. Thank you, Tim, for the brilliance, courage, inspiration, and everything that followed. You will never be forgotten.

Every woman is sacred. Every child matters. Every one of us can help make our world a better place.

Epstein and his friends were absolutely terrible.

Unfortunately there are people doing awful things in too many of our communities as well - violence, trafficking, abuse.

Let’s stand together against all of it.

We’re investing 2.4M In Genesis House to help women and children leave violence and find a safe place to live.

Many expect US relations with Europe, Canada, and most of the world to normalize once Trump leaves. That assumes too much. Experts argue his era reshaped institutions beyond himself, and right now nobody in America shows the courage to restrain him.

Checks and balances exist in name only. Without functioning institutions, no long-term defense or trade agreements can be trusted to survive a change in power. Partners will hedge and diversify instead, because a signature only matters if the system behind it holds.

Can I just say I love Wab Kinew. I cannot wait until he one day becomes PM. He is one in a million and Manitoba is very lucky to have such an amazing leader 🧡

I just saw Trump referred to as the Cunt of Mostly Crisco and now I can’t stop laughing. 😂😂😂

Chapman's Ice Cream has just done something EVERY Canadian should know.
The largest ice cream company in Canada used to source fruit and nuts from American suppliers — for some, for over 30 years. Then, Trump imposed a 25% tariff on Canadian products.
So, what did Chapman's do?
📷 They called Italy.
📷 They called Spain.
📷 They signed multi-year contracts with European suppliers.
And the vice president said it perfectly:
"Even if Trump wakes up smarter than yesterday, we're about to sign long-term deals with other countries — and the American companies that supply them will have nothing but their eyes to cry for."
Oh, and on top of ALL that? They're COLDing their prices so that the average Canadian doesn't have to spend a single cent more.
It's a family business. No shareholders. Just the Chapman family saying: "The least we can do is make sure Canadians still have the means to buy ice cream."
That's what Canadian pride looks like.
Next time you're at the grocery store — grab some Chapman's.
Every scoop of ice cream is a vote for Canada.

For years, Alberta separatist leader Jeff Rath controlled two First Nations’ settlement trusts and drained millions from them, allegedly without consent. Now court orders, asset freezes and an investigative receiver are closing in — forcing him to account for tens of millions of dollars in disputed trust money.

BREAKING: MASTERCLASS! Dr. Abdul El-Sayed goes on Fox News and DOGWALKS Jesse Watters on one hot button issue after another — and even gets the far-right hack to laugh at prominent Republicans.

He went into the lion's den and came out with a new fur coat...

"You'd give them back their Air Force, their Navy?" Watters asked El-Sayed about Iran.

"No, I'd go back to the time when we were at peace and we actually had nuclear containment," El-Sayed said. "Now Jesse, you like to, I mean look, I understand selective memory about history, but we had a JCPOA that was well negotiated, that actually had nuclear non-proliferation far more securely than what we have right now after having gone to war for the better part of six months."

This is an absolute bullseye of a point. Obama's Iran deal was ironclad and ensured that Iran wouldn't obtain nuclear weapons. Trump tore it up because he hates everything related to our first Black President and Republicans cheered him on as he did it. Now, we find ourselves embroiled in a failed war to supposedly destroy Iran's nuclear program, even though our own intelligence agencies concluded that they were not pursuing such a weapon.

Obama used diplomacy to score an unprecedented win. Trump used military force and it ended in a historic defeat.

"Yeah, I like the fact that the nuke program is buried under a mountain of rubble, they can't even get access to it, but that's me," said Watters, trotting out a childish White House talking point. "I think we'll figured [sic] it out. The thing you said about—"

"Let me just stop you right there," said El-Sayed, refusing to let him pivot.

"Sure. Go ahead," said Watters.

"I understand you're not good at math. I get that. I'll give you that," said El-Sayed. "But science, we gotta talk about science, okay? You understand that like nuclear material doesn't just go away because you buried it under a mountain of rubble. You understand they can still go back and bury it out, right?"

"Yeah, we're watching it from Space Force," said Watters.

"So we're not any more secure than we were back then," hammered El-Sayed.

"Okay, let's move on," said Watters, unable to defend his point. He then asked El-Sayed about his claim that Republicans attacking Sharia law is a tendril of white supremacy. Once again, El-Sayed crushed him.

"So getting rid of Sharia law is white supremacy? Can you explain that one?" said Watters.

"Do you know what canon law is, Jesse? I assume you're Christian, right?" said El-Sayed.

"Yeah, tell me," said Watters, who clearly had no idea what canon law is.

"All right, so canon law is the name for Christian law," explained El-Sayed. "I don't begrudge you your right to practice your faith as you choose. I don't know why the idea that I could practice my faith as I choose is a problem. Nobody is trying to push Sharia law on anyone else. Just like, I hope, nobody is trying to push canon law on anybody else, because we live in an America where you should have the freedom of your religion."

"So the idea that you have somebody like Tommy Tuberville, who barely was good at coaching football," said El-Sayed, causing Watters to laugh at the ignorant MAGA senator's expense, "is out here trying to ban Sharia law when there's less than 1% of the Muslim community in America, as if somehow Muslims are out here trying to push Sharia law, that seems to me to be deliberately targeting the Muslim community because they're different."

"And I'm just saying that I have no issue with people practicing their faith," El-Sayed said. "In fact, I would never want somebody to push their faith on me, and I would never want to push my faith on somebody else."

"Good, because no one wants you to get rid of your religion. No one wants that," said Watters, who is part of a political party that absolutely wants to get rid of Islam.

"But when people preemptively go out there and start preemptively passing laws to ban something that's not happening, what you're trying to do is target a very small community because they're different, and this operates. I mean, look, I'm just going to say there's statistical evidence that the President and the Vice President want to target me simply as a function of my faith," said El-Sayed.

We have to just stop and applaud El-Sayed for this particular point. This man went on Fox News — the most Islamophobic network in the entire country — and proudly defended his Muslim faith. That takes serious courage. And he wasn't done there...

At one point, El-Sayed referred to his MAGA opponent in the Michigan Senate race as a "beta," causing Watters to laugh once again.

This guy is so damn charming, even a Fox News hack like Jesse Watters isn't immune.

Predictably, Watters eventually tried to turn the conversation to the topic of transgender athletes. When he did, El-Sayed gave one of the best responses we've ever seen to the bad faith talking point.

"Again like Jesse you have not asked me one time about the issues that people actually care about in Michigan," said El-Sayed.

"You don't want to talk about gas prices."

"You don't want to talk about groceries."

"You don't want to talk about healthcare."

"You don't want to talk about this stupid trade war that's about to destroy Michigan's economy."

"You don't want to talk about the actual war that's destroying our military."

"You don't seem to want to talk about any of those things. You want to bring up all this culture war that you know I'm not here to fight a culture war," he added.

Watters sputtered a response and whined that it was his interview so he got to choose the questions. He then asked a question about trans athletes. El-Sayed refused to take the bait.

"I'm running for U.S Senate and in Michigan, as the next U.S. senator in Michigan, I'm interested in getting money out of politics, putting money in your pocket, and passing Medicare for All," said El-Sayed.

Watters refused to drop it, and kept driving for a sports-related soundbite.

"At the end of the day the decision of who gets to play what sports ought to be decided by the people who govern sports. I'm running for U.S. Senate!" said El-Sayed. "Jesse it's insane, I'm out here trying to take on like the healthcare crisis and Big Pharma and you're asking me about who gets to play what sports?"

"I don't know. It's kind of a big thing if you've been following the news recently Abdul," said a desperate Watters.

Towards the end of the interview, Watters called El-Sayed "naive" and that said some Democratic policies are "wacky." Once again, El-Sayed had the perfect response.

"You know what's wacky, though? Can I just tell you, you know what you didn't ask me about?" said El-Sayed. "We've got a President of the United States who cares more about the drapes in a ballroom that shouldn't be built than he cares about the war he just got us into, or that he cares about the affordability crisis.

"That seems to me to be a little bit wacky. If we want to have a serious conversation about what Michiganders are feeling, I'd love to come back on and talk about getting money out of politics, putting money in your pocket, passing Medicare for All, because I'm telling you, none of that is whacky, and that's what Michiganders want."

"We'll do it again, Abdul," said Watters.

"It was a good conversation. Thank you so much," said El-Sayed.

This is how it's done ladies and gentlemen. Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is going to make one hell of a senator.

Please ❤️ and share if you're a fan of El-Sayed!

During the Klondike Gold Rush, Donald Trump's grandfather Frederick operated a tent restaurant that sold horse meat along Dead Horse Trail.
He then opened the Arctic Restaurant and Hotel, which doubled as a brothel.
When the government cracked down on prostitution, he left the Klondike.
