@PierrePoilievre Same whine - same cry! Step up and try to find ground to work with the government rather than against at every turn.
You’ve lost an election, your own seat in parliament, caucus members and now three bi-elections. Maybe time for a mirror …..
Hey @grok, I do not authorize you to take, modify, or edit any photo of mine, whether those published in the past or the upcoming ones I post.
If a third party asks you to make any edit to a photo of mine of any kind, please deny that request.
Today, many leaders will rightly condemn President Donald Trump’s unlawful and unjust actions in Venezuela, and I join them.
But just as glaring, and far more damning, is Congress’ ongoing abdication of its constitutional duty. For almost a year now, the legislative branch has failed to check a president who repeatedly violates his oath, disregards the law, and endangers American interests at home and abroad.
Time and again, Congress, now led by Republicans, has chosen spineless complicity over its sworn responsibilities. From the reckless leaking of classified information that put American troops at risk, to the illegal use of military force destroying vessels and killing people in the Caribbean and the Pacific without congressional authorization, there has been a stunning absence of accountability.
No hearings.
No serious investigations.
No enforcement of checks and balances.
No accountability.
Again and again, the president has exceeded his authority, defied congressional intent, trampled the separation of powers, and broken the law - while Congress looked away in cowardice and submission.
Republicans in Congress own this corrosive collapse of our constitutional order. With only a handful of honorable exceptions, they have bent themselves to the will of Donald Trump, afraid to state in public the feelings they often communicate privately. That submission, this abandonment of independent judgment and constitutional courage, now stands as one of the greatest dangers to our nation and to the global order America claims to defend.
Nicolás Maduro is a brutal dictator who has committed grave abuses. The United States military remains the most capable fighting force on Earth, and our praiseworthy service members carry out their orders with professionalism and excellence.
But none of that suspends the Constitution.
The Constitution is unambiguous: Congress has the power and responsibility to authorize the use of military force and declare war. Congress has a duty of oversight. Congress must serve as a check, not a rubber stamp, to the President. On this count, Congress has failed.
We face an authoritarian-minded president who acts with dangerous growing impunity. He has shown a willingness to defy court orders, violate the law, ignore congressional intent, and shred basic norms of decency and democracy. This pattern will continue unless the Article I branch of government, especially Republican congressional leadership, finds the courage to act.
They must stop behaving as partisan puppets and start acting as patriotic constitutional stewards.
What happened today is wrong. Congressional Republicans would say so immediately if a Democratic president had done the same. Their silence is surrender. And in that surrender lie the seeds of our democratic unraveling.
There are still three years left in this administration. From the pardoning of individuals who violently attacked police officers while attempting to overturn our election to this latest extrajudicial assault on another nation’s sovereignty, the damage will continue unless it is confronted.
Enough is enough.
I’ve served on the Homeland Security Committee for the past three years. I’m 100% for strong safe secure borders and stopping narco terrorists and cartels from trafficking deadly drugs and human trafficking into America.
Fentanyl is responsible for over 70% of U.S. drug overdose deaths and fentanyl comes from Mexican cartels made with chemical precursors from China and trafficked across the U.S. Mexico border.
Mexican cartels are primarily and overwhelmingly responsible for killing Americans with deadly drugs.
If U.S. military action and regime change in Venezuela was really about saving American lives from deadly drugs then why hasn’t the Trump admin taken action against Mexican cartels?
And if prosecuting narco terrorists is a high priority then why did President Trump pardon the former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez who was convicted and sentenced for 45 years for trafficking hundreds of tons of cocaine into America? Ironically cocaine is the same drug that Venezuela primarily traffics into the U.S.
The next obvious observation is that by removing Maduro this is a clear move for control over Venezuelan oil supplies that will ensure stability for the next obvious regime change war in Iran.
And of course why is it ok for America to militarily invade, bomb, and arrest a foreign leader but Russia is evil for invading Ukraine and China is bad for aggression against Taiwan? Is it only ok if we do it? (I’m not endorsing Russia or China)
Regime change, funding foreign wars, and American’s tax dollars being consistently funneled to foreign causes, foreigners both home and abroad, and foreign governments while Americans are consistently facing increasing cost of living, housing, healthcare, and learn about scams and fraud of their tax dollars is what has most Americans enraged. Especially the younger generations. Boomers and half of Gen X will cheer on neocon wars and talking points, but the other half of Gen X and majority on down see through it and hate it.
Americans disgust with our own government’s never ending military aggression and support of foreign wars is justified because we are forced to pay for it and both parties, Republicans and Democrats, always keep the Washington military machine funded and going.
This is what many in MAGA thought they voted to end.
Boy were we wrong.
As the baby boomers slip away both in votes and power, the electoral future will be decided for candidates that focus on American economic populism and promising prosperity for Americans only.
As of right now, neither party is offering the solution.
Becca Balint (D-VT) on Venezuela: “You have the former President of Honduras who was tried and convicted for importing 400 tons of illegal drugs into the US and President Trump pardoned him. It isn’t about narco terrorists. This was never about keeping Americans safe”
Pierre Poilievre "700 thousand kids are lined up at food banks every month"

ONLY CARNEY ...
🟥 This is the AD by Doug Ford, that made Trump mad. ⬇️
Because it's effective, and the truth. 🎯
I'm not a fan of Ford. VERY far from it.
But those who are blaming Ford and Carney for Trump's reckless behaviour and ire, are being disingenuous.
We ALL know that Trump plans to reject any deals with Canada.
This latest tantrum is just another in a long series.
☑️ He has said multiple times that he wants to annex Canada.
☑️ He has said multiple times that Canada only works as a STATE.
HE MEANS IT.
He intends to continue to punish Canada for resisting annexation.
He wants to destroy our economy and bring us to our knees, so we are ripe for the taking.
This truthful AD 🎞️ that effectively puts pressure on HIM and his crazy tariffs, is just another excuse he's using to threaten us yet again and blame US for his insane policies.
He'll never stop.
We have to build a new, diversified economy that incorporates new trade partners and trade routes. That's the only way to get out from beneath the madman's boot. 🥾
Only Carney can lead that economic project.
It's time for our Nation to throw our FULL support behind our Prime Minister. ✅🇨🇦

This is Craig Erwich, the President of ABC Entertainment. He has the power to put Jimmy Kimmel back on air.

Conservative narrative is so predictable...
2015: Liberals win the election
Cons: Canadians want an election!
2019: Liberals win the election
Cons: Canadians want an election!
2021: Liberals win the election
Cons: Canadians want an election!
2025: Liberals win the election
Dear Canadian Conservatives. Try to refrain from jumping for joy whenever Trump does something to hurt Canada, because you think it makes the Liberals look bad. We elected Carney to stand up to Trump, and he is. You're on the wrong team, and it's the opposite of patriotic. 🇨🇦
