You hammered away, then tell us, why is he still President! You have Not ended his corruption! You have Not ended the War! You have Not distanced yourself from his and Netanyahu's War Crimes! You have Not released the Epstien Files! You have Not stood up for the victims! You Have Not stop the destruction of our Intelligence Community! You have Not done anything about the 12 Dead Scientist! You have Not done anything about the Assassination attempts! You have Not done anything about Charlie Kirk's Assassination! Why have you Not done anything about ICE murdering Americans! Why have You Not gone to Detention Centers! Why have you not done anything about Maxwell's prison Hotel! Add Infinitum!!! Why, Chuck, Why!
Costs, corruption, and chaos were the themes of this election. We hammered Trump on all three. The results speak for themselves. Now, our Democratic Senate majority must deliver.

1/It’s clear that Russia has gained strategic control of the US. Trump and Vance are fully in their grasp, and Massie/MTG/Carlson are following along with Khanna, Luna, and others as backstops. Most worrisome, Jeffries and Schumer display alarmingly poor judgment as well…

Watching Florida Democrats winning in districts that were gerrymandered by the Republicans is inspiring. This post is about Alberta.

In January, a new Congress will take office. As a former U.S. Ambassador to Canada, I urge its members to make repairing our relationship with Canada an early priority. Canada is our neighbor, our friend, and an essential partner. The work of reconciliation should begin now.

MS Now has just called the House for the Dems. Hakeem Jeffries will be the first African American Speaker of the House. Please join me in saying to Mike Johnson: "Buh-bye!"

Tweet of the night! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
Fascinating to see Republicans who love to rig boundaries get booted in U.S. election tonight. Here at home, my column on how the UCP has upended our riding boundaries system and destroyed public trust in the process. calgaryherald.com/opinion/co… #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #yyc #yeg

BREAKING: Virginia has just repealed its constitutional ban on same-sex marriage. And codified abortion rights into the state constitution. On the same night. This is not a blue wave. This is a tsunami.

Excellent. Russia does not belong in any community of nations, for any purpose. Not in sport. Not in culture. Not in any type of exchange or performance. Let them rot in the hellscape that is Russia.
Mark Carney: "Russia and Belarus are supporting this illegal and unjustified horrific war in Ukraine, as long as that's going on, there will be none of those athletes competing for their countries in Canada. So if you're asking specifically about the World Juniors, the Russians will not be there."

The spouses of Ukraine’s, Italy’s and Estonia’s ambassadors to Australia have resigned from the Women’s International Club of Canberra after it admitted Irina Petrakova, wife of Russia’s ambassador. As my beloved wife Liana has rightly put it in the resignation letter: “This is not about a Russian woman simply because she is Russian,” but because she is in Australia representing “the country that killed my cousin, burned my friend alive, took the lives of many of my friends from school and university. She represents a Russia that kills, maims, commits sexual violence and subjects people to horrific torture — a Russia for which, through its actions, the value of human life appears to be disregarded. This includes the lives of the 38 Australian passengers who were on board MH17.”  Read more in the Politico: politico.com/news/2026/11/03…

We deserve the chance to be joyful. We deserve the chance to understand that solidarity can lead to results. We deserve the chance to understand that solidarity can open up the future.

"The bill will establish September as Ukrainian Heritage Month across Canada."
MPs have voted 313-0 in favour of the bill I sponsored in the House of Commons! I was proud to sponsor Bill S-210, shepherd it through the House of Commons, and help guide it to passage. The bill will establish September as Ukrainian Heritage Month across Canada. It will allow us to celebrate the significant contributions of Ukrainian Canadians in helping to build Canada into the best country in the world. And at a time when Russia is waging a genocidal war against Ukraine and trying to erase Ukrainian identity and culture, this bill is another opportunity for Canada to show that it stands with Ukraine. Thank you to all MPs who supported this legislation and to Sen. Stanley Kutcher for introducing this bill in the Senate.

The mayor of Calgary is calling out the UCP’s gerrymandering. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
Your vote shouldn't count for less because you live in Calgary. Under the proposed election map, 26 of our 28 seats would have far more people than the average, meaning we're 2 MLAs short of our fair share. We want fair representation for Alberta in Ottawa. Calgary deserves the same from Edmonton.

A message to every federal agent operating on Trump’s behalf in California: If you illegally tamper with our ballots, the President won’t be able to save you. Trump can’t pardon you out of California justice.

The VoiceOfFranky decision desk calls this over. I will hand around for the schadenfreude but this is a butt kicking.
This is looking like a clear and decisive win for dems.

Once again, online bot audiences don't translate into real life votes for a convoyer/separatist. Jason Lavigne came in dead last in the Brazeau County Reeve by-election in Alberta. brazeau.ab.ca/county-office/…
