Not one Republican in office who is running for reelection, spoke up to criticize him for these comments. Do not vote for Republicans. #VoteBlue

This isn't a normal time, and this isn't a normal party. Republicans used to call Russia America's greatest adversary, now they call Putin's critics the enemy.

Just like @fordnation tearing-down wind-turbines. He wasted ~$265 million doing it, now he's wasting ~$50 milling tearing out bike lanes.
Little wonder he's pushed the provincial debt to half a TRILLION dollars, more debt than many countries.
Supported by @TheThanigasalam
Internal docs show MTO staff warned against Ford govt’s bike lane removal: “No empirical evidence that ties bike lanes as the sole source of congestion, nor is there data that shows removing bike lanes help with better traffic flow” thestar.com/news/gta/doug-… #onpoli ($48m waste)

The Wife Who Believed Before the NFL Did
Kurt Warner's truck ran out of gas on a freezing winter night.
Brenda and their two kids were inside.
All four of them dug through the seats for loose change.
They didn't find many coins.
Kurt jogged to a gas station thinking his kids deserved better.
About five years later, he was a Super Bowl MVP.
But Brenda had already lived a lifetime.
She was a U.S. Marine. Her son Zack was born in 1989.
At 4 months old, an accident left him with a brain injury and legally blind.
Doctors didn't expect him to ever sit up.
Read that again.
Then her marriage ended while she was eight months pregnant.
She moved back in with her parents. Went on food stamps. Finished nursing school.
Then she met a college quarterback at a country bar.
He showed up the next day to meet her kids. Zack grabbed his hand and pulled him inside.
"No judgment, no expectation, just loved him," Brenda says.
But football wasn't working.
Green Bay cut Kurt in 1994. He stocked shelves overnight at a grocery store for $5.50 an hour and took care of the kids by day.
Brenda had never even watched an NFL game.
They married in 1997. Kurt adopted Zack and Jesse. Five more kids followed.
The Rams signed him that December and sent him to Amsterdam. Kurt says Brenda told him: "I will hold down the home front for three months."
Then 1999. Then 41 touchdowns. Then the NFL MVP and a Super Bowl with a then-record 414 yards.
Think about that.
In 2001, they started the First Things First Foundation. By May 2024, it had given a home to its 61st family.
In 2017, Kurt chose Brenda to present him at the Hall of Fame. "You, above all others, deserved to share this stage with me," he told her.
In 2018, they opened Treasure House, a home for adults with disabilities. It was Brenda's idea. Zack was one of its first six residents.
From a baby doctors didn't expect to sit up to one of the first residents of a home his parents built.
Some quarterbacks are measured in MVPs.
Kurt Warner is measured in a truck out of gas. A wife who held down the home front. A home for people like Zack.

Stranger than fiction.
"What does Katie Zacharia’s husband Tyler have to do with the CIA guy who was arrested with 303 gold bars under his bed and $2 million in cash and 35 gold Rolexes and Deputy Secretary of Defense Steve Feinberg and Jeffrey Epstein?
Poor Tyler would have retained the relative obscurity of being just another guy in “the entertainment business” out in Los Angeles if his wife hadn’t tanked so badly on her first day of being Trump’s latest blonde press secretary.
He didn’t have that luck, however. Almost immediately, it emerged that while Tyler and Katie were over in China, he was working for Schulze Global Investments, which it turned out had made a series of loans to North Korean companies during Tyler’s tenure at the firm, although “published reporting does not connect Zacharia personally to those transactions,” as Newsweek put it gently in a story that came out yesterday.
Tyler is now working for something called 2521 Entertainment, where his bio notes that he “helped build teams” in North Korea while working in China.
Man, that’s something to have on your CV, isn’t it? Helping to fund mining in North Korea?
It gets better. In 2018, Cerberus Capital Management, founded by the aforementioned Steve Feinberg, acquired SGI Frontier Capital, the firm that Schulze Global turned itself into.
Readers with sharp memories for scandal will recall Feinberg from his multiple appearances in the Epstein files, along with his firm Cerberus, which appears in no less than 360 Epstein files in relation to helping to fund Epstein enterprises with guarantees by Deutsche Bank, which of course was Donald Trump’s lender of last resort before he ran for president in 2016.
Elizabeth Warren is currently involved in probing the connections between Epstein’s money movements and major banks, including Deutsche Bank, Barclays, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, and JP Morgan Chase.
Nice group of thieves to get mentioned with, huh?
JP Morgan Chase paid $290 million to a group of Epstein survivors who alleged that the bank had ignored multiple red flags in Epstein money transfers that may have been linked to his sex trafficking activities.
Feinberg, veteran of the Epstein files, was on Trump’s Intelligence Advisory Board in Trump’s first term, where he apparently met the 303 gold bar guy, David Rush, who was a CIA agent involved in the agency’s Directorate of Science and Technology, which Feinberg allegedly took a “special interest” in."

Millions are marching while Trump hides in Palm Beach, waives his own Russia sanctions, threatens LA election workers with jail, and tries to boot the judge who caught him chopping 430 trees for a golf course. Today’s Saturday Update: meidasplus.com/p/saturday-up…

I keep saying it: Doug Ford has about 15 scandals that, on their own would’ve brought down any other government. And yet, no updates on any of these investigations. When is the Ford government gonna be held accountable for literally anything?
Ontario somehow manages a billion-dollar scandal every year now that would have sunk a government had it happened a decade ago, and yet no investigation has reported back and you can bet no one will end up in jail.
A billion dollars defrauded from OSAP and the only punishment will be inflicted on those who didn’t do anything wrong.
Every bad actor will take it as a sign that they can continue abusing the systems that they are.
In the past these scandals (Greenbelt, Skills Development Fund, now OSAP) would be the top news story until there was some accountability.
Now? Nothing.
Makes me so angry!

“I don't want to be a conspiracy theorist, Katie, but here's the thing. Mr. Musk has done this before.”
Retired Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling tells Katie Phang that Musk previously shut down Starshield because he disagreed with Zelenskyy, then connects that allegation to Trump's latest ceasefire demands and the throttling of Starshield.

🚨 EXTREMELY IMPORTANT — PLEASE READ AND SHARE THIS.
Something extremely important is happening right now on the world stage, and I don’t believe nearly enough people understand just how big this story really is.
Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are pushing European leaders to release billions in frozen Russian assets and place them under American financial control.
But my friends, this is about much more than frozen Russian money. Much more than Ukraine. And much more than what is being reported in the headlines.
We are talking about Russia, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, American investors, oil and gas pipelines, and people inside Donald Trump’s closest circle.
I have been warning about these connections since Trump returned to the White House. And what my sources are telling me is that this did not happen overnight.
I put together a detailed investigation and a chart connecting the people, the money, the reported deals, and the timeline so you can see for yourself how these relationships intersect.
We are witnessing the early stages of something much bigger: a potential effort to bring Russia back into the global financial system, with billions of dollars at stake.
And what I am hearing suggests there is much more to come.
I’m asking every one of you to take a few minutes to read this investigation, study the chart, and SPREAD IT FAR AND WIDE.
Restack it. Share it. Send it to your friends and family. Help get this information outside our echo chambers.
Because understanding what is happening behind closed doors is essential to holding those in power accountable.
👇 READ THE FULL INVESTIGATION AND STUDY THE CHART BELOW.

The truth matters. The receipts matter. And this is just the beginning

Enforce Canada Health Act! Canadian tax dollars are being deliberately misappropriated at provincial and territorial level through underfunding of public healthcare and redirecting federal healthcare funding to create second-tier private for-profit healthcare systems in Canada.
Premier Ford - due to your hospital underfunding the Queensway Carleton Hospital whose work you are recognizing today is cutting 119 positions, including 87 registered nurses. There's no galaxy where that makes sense. Shame on you. @fordnation
