IT"S OFFICIALLY UNOFFICIAL! With 100% of the votes counted, 3 things are pretty clear! #1 - The overwhleming majority of Albertans are proud Canadians! #2 - Albertans are a lot less Xenophobic than Smith banked on #3 - Albertans know Smith needs federal oversight. #abpoli

Trump has managed to tick off the Sisters of Charity. I don’t blame them for opposing the Catholic bishops who gathered with Trump in the Oval Office.

NEW: An order of New York nuns founded in 1817 has rebuked the bishops who laid hands on President Trump 12 days before the midterms. “Images carry messages,” the Sisters of Charity wrote. “Silence carries messages, too.” The nuns have a powerful ally in Pope Leo XIV, who has put women at the center of his leadership. They now run three Vatican dicasteries, a larger share than in Trump’s cabinet. thelettersfromleo.com/p/new-…

New York Nuns Rebuke the 12 Bishops Who Prayed Over Trump

Sisters of Charity, who have served immigrants since 1817, asked where the poor were in the Oval Office. More than 1,800 have signed our letter asking the bishops to apologize to Pope Leo XIV.

I’m at the point now where I’m saying God help Alberta’s hospitals and those who work in them. I also feel sorry for the patients.
Parksy@PfParks19h
Hey Alberta: is this incompetence or a full on intentional lie? 9003 Acute Care Spaces is NOWHERE near a record number for our prov In the late 1980s we had 17,790 acute care spaces in hospitals (~12,000 acute care beds, +LTC beds) 1988: 7.4 beds/1000 2026: 1.5 beds/1000 1/2

Why Melania doesn't deserve credit for "brokering a ceasefire" over Oleshky, a town the Russians have starved and blockaded for months
Anne Applebaum
@anneapplebaumOct 25
Replying to @RLHeinrichs
Because it's a Russian propaganda operation designed, like the hostage releases, to distract Trump, stroke his ego and prevent him from resuming pressure on Russia to end the war

The latest attempt by Melania Trump to take false credit for something doesn’t surprise me at all, However, it still makes me sick to my stomach!

Who could’ve predicted that Melania, who took credit for a college degree she never earned & took credit for a speech Michelle Obama wrote & took credit for fluency in 5 languages that English is not one of - is taking credit for a ceasefire deal Pope Leo brokered.

NEW: Melania Trump is taking credit for a temporary ceasefire in Oleshky, Ukraine, that Pope Leo XIV asked Vladimir Putin for from his hospital bed. Leo phoned Putin on Oct. 16, three days after lung cancer surgery, then called Volodymyr Zelenskyy two days after he was released. President Trump has spent much of this year attacking the American pope, once declaring that “if I wasn’t in the White House, Leo wouldn’t be in the Vatican.” thelettersfromleo.com/p/whit…

White House Takes Credit for Pope Leo XIV’s Oleshky Ceasefire

Three days after cancer surgery, the pope phoned Putin to seek a ceasefire in a starving Ukrainian city. A week later, with Trump’s Catholic approval at 30 percent, the White House rewrote the story.

A person experiencing homelessness takes a hot shower, washes their clothes, puts on a brand-new pair of clean socks, and says to me: “I feel like a human being again.” Imagine that. Treat people like human beings, and they start to feel like human beings again. Sometimes, dignity starts with something as simple as a hot shower and a clean pair of socks.

The press ran with EVERY lie about the Bidens. Now, after the fact, an FBI informant admitted fabricating bribery claims. Hunter won $1.7M in defamation damages. TWO ex-FBI officials face charges over laptop testimony. Meanwhile, Trump’s family makes BILLIONS in crypto and everything else. America owes the Bidens an APOLOGY.

The fact that Trump will remove tariffs to help Republicans win elections, but he won’t remove tariffs to help Americans afford necessities, tells you exactly what his priorities are.
