Funny how you can track a thirteen year old child across state lines when she's needing an abortion, but not for the adult who raped her.

Because god forgive we infringe on HIS rights.

I was a Capitol Police officer on January 6th. I testified about what I saw. Then I ran for Congress to keep fighting for accountability. Outside groups spent $11 million to silence me.

They will not.

NEW: A convicted money launderer has operated at the highest level of UK politics for a decade. Why? Because Farage has enjoyed almost total impunity from the UK press.

In my new piece for @thenerve_news, I expose the decade of denial that’s enabled him to act with impunity

To my Conservative influencer friends. I say this with affection.

The tide is turning. If you've built your following by parroting niche US talking points Blaming Canada over the last six months, you're soon going to find yourself naked on the beach.

Working with law enforcement and provincial partners is more effective than trying to scare people for votes.

StatsCan says crime severity is down 4.9% this year, and violent crime is down 4.2%.

We’ll keep working to protect our communities.

“Separatist Site Offers Donors a Piece of the ‘Republic of Alberta’”

This is the most bonkers article you’ll read today.

Dear @ScottJenningsKY
Let's talk cows.
Canada’s dairy system is not simply a tariff wall designed to keep American milk out. It is a supply-management system designed to keep production roughly aligned with demand, stabilize farm income and preserve a viable network of family-owned farms. Imports are allowed in significant negotiated quantities at low or zero tariffs; the very high tariffs people hear about generally apply only after those agreed import quotas have been filled.

The United States protects its farmers too, often much more extensively, but it uses different mechanisms. American taxpayers support agriculture through crop insurance subsidies, income and price-support programs, disaster payments, commodity programs and direct government payments. Dairy farmers have access to federally supported margin-protection and insurance programs. The U.S. also restricts imports in sensitive sectors. Sugar is an especially obvious example: the United States uses tariff-rate quotas that limit how much foreign sugar can enter at low tariffs, precisely to protect domestic producers and prices. USDA explicitly describes this system.

So there is a real hypocrisy in attacking Canada as a protectionist outlier. Canada essentially says to its dairy farmers: we will control production and imports so you can earn a reasonably predictable income from the market. The United States more often says to its farmers: we will expose you more directly to the market, but protect your income through subsidies, federally supported insurance, price and commodity programs, and, where politically important, import restrictions. In 2026 alone, USDA forecasts federal Dairy Margin Coverage payments, while its broader farm programs continue to provide income, commodity and insurance support.

Both countries protect agriculture. They just write the cheque differently.

And that matters to the family farm. Canada’s system was designed in part to prevent the boom-and-bust cycle in which oversupply collapses milk prices, smaller farmers fail, and increasingly large operations buy them out. Supply management gives a farmer greater certainty that producing milk efficiently can provide a viable living without having to become an enormous industrial-scale operation merely to survive the next price collapse.

That does not make Canada’s system perfect. Quota is expensive and can make it difficult for new farmers to enter. But portraying Canadian dairy protection as some extraordinary trade offence while the United States protects its own farmers with quotas, tariffs, subsidies, insurance and government support is fundamentally misleading.

Canada protects a relatively small number of agricultural sectors openly through supply management. The United States protects agriculture through an enormous, less visible architecture of federal programs and selective trade barriers. Calling one “protectionism” while pretending the other is “free trade” is the hypocrisy.
Hope next time you will fact check yourself.

Sincerely
Glen

What can the history of the 20th century teach us about democracy today?

@TimothyDSnyder’s Hitler and Stalin Today (MUN180) explores totalitarianism, mass atrocities and the lessons history offers for understanding democracy.

Fox vs. PBS - How two networks covered the dramatic increase in cyclosporiasis cases. Fox described the parasite but didn't provide additional information. The PBS News Hour included an expert, Dr. Omer Awan, who said cuts to the CDC have made the outbreak much worse.
