Merz’s Germany just gave Trump the BIGGEST SHOCK 🔥

🇩🇪Germany: "We’re rejecting Trump’s call for unconditional NATO loyalty.

NATO isn’t about blind obedience. Decisions are made by free consensus of all members, not one country calling the shots." 🔥🔥

Nobody respects Trump anymore. America’s reputation keeps tanking every day he’s in power.

Yup

MAJOR BREAKING: Florida officials have told contractors to begin dismantling “Alligator Alcatraz.”

All detainees have been transferred to other immigration detention facilities, reportedly in part because the Everglades site was so expensive to operate.

The facility lasted just one year. Estimated cost to taxpayers: $1.2 billion.

@mark_slapinski Here is the thing Americans don't get. They have 45 million illiterate + 145 mil that read at Grade 6 level. Cda has 75% with post high school education. You cant sell the same BS to Cdns as you can to Americans. Try all they want. They are preaching only to the already converted

WATCH: In a bombshell statement, Italian PM Giorgia Meloni has openly declared that "supporting Ukraine is not only a moral duty but also a strategic necessity, because at stake is not only the dignity, freedom, and independence of Kyiv but also the security of Europe."

This enormous anti-Orbán crowd isn't just rejecting him; they're saying f*ck you to Putin, trump, JD Vance, and every other fascist jackass trying to prop him up.

Godspeed, Hungary.
May you SOUNDLY defeat Orbán.

🚨🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Opposition leader Péter Magyar WINS the election for prime minister of Hungary, defeating Putin and Trump’s ally Viktor Orbán. 🇭🇺

The craziest thing about trump wanting a 50 percent cut of Iran's Strait of Hormuz tolls is that trump is ALL OVER the Epstein files, and actually thought a war would make us forget about it.

I will NEVER forget.

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

It's becoming a war

Russia, Hungary, Belarus and the USA ( aka
the dictatorships ) versus European democracies

All because Trump is a Russian agent...

Do you remember in The Lion King when scar told the hyenas if they helped him become king he will make their lives better and then their lives didn’t get better and he blamed them for it.

And upon realizing this, the hyenas ate him.

Do with that story what you will.

EXPECT DELAYS: Ukraine’s GUR just knocked out Russia’s LAST railway ferry in Kerch — the ‘Slavyanin’. She was the lifeline for the entire Russian grouping in Crimea. Tank and freight cars loaded with fuel, ammo, weapons, equipment — with the Kerch bridge still damaged, everything flowed through it. No more.

You don’t get to call yourself pro-democracy while rewriting the rules to stay in power.

An independent commission did the work. The UCP’s job is to accept their recommendation.

Anything else is blatant Trump-style gerrymandering.

I didn't like Pierre Poilievre when he attacked Erin O'toole.
I didn't like him when he was attacking Justin Trudeau's character.
I didn't like him when he attacked our institutions.
When he started attacking David Johnston's character I started hating him.

[Real Mike 🇨🇦🇺🇦 Fake Ezzie @fakeezzie]

By far the best explanation I've heard on this Gerrymandering attempt by the UCP. You can always count on David to be common sense and take his time to genuinely explain things. #ableg #abpoli

James Malone on obstruction vs Loyal Opposition: "Loyal Opposition means putting forward an alternative approach, suggesting a different way of governing ... What we're talking about is useless obstruction, and that's what we've been seeing."

Alberta Premier is allowing Kevin fucking O'Leary to build a data center. It must be stopped.

[Furkan Gözükara @FurkanGozukara]

Terrifying revelation. An expert journalist confirms Russian GRU military intelligence officers are operating freely in Budapest running massive disinformation campaigns. Shockingly the US Vice President is there right now singing from the exact same Russian hymn sheet!

🚨WATCH: Premier David Eby on B.C. Conservative leadership debate hosted by Juno News.

“I guess I would say that I’m incredibly disappointed that the Conservatives have chosen to hold a debate with a far-right wing news outlet that promotes white supremacy...” - Eby
