The Toronto area is currently averaging 2 people killed and 5 people seriously or critically injured *every week* by drivers in vehicles. There have been 0 gun related deaths in that time. Anyone *actually* concerned about safety in Toronto should be looking at road safety.

Yes, AIPAC announced in late October 2026 that it is ending formal candidate endorsements and direct PAC contributions (plus earmarking). It will keep running its existing super PAC, the United Democracy Project (created in 2022), and shift focus to organizing individual donor contributions to candidates.
UDP files full FEC disclosures of donors and independent expenditures, so it is trackable rather than dark money, though some spending has gone through intermediary groups. The change followed backlash that made the AIPAC brand a liability for certain candidates.

I've been in politics for a quarter century. It's hard to express how staggering it is to see a conversation like this on corporate US media. The Morning Joe panel gobsmacked by the directness of @AbdulElSayed's points.

After Hakeem Jeffries’ private meeting with Jared Kushner, I no longer support him becoming Speaker of the House. Democrats need a new generation of leadership, not more of the same Washington establishment. A change in majority should mean a change in direction.

Just a casual reminder that Germans who “didn’t bother to vote” in 1932 didn’t get a chance again until 1946, after Hitler’s death. — There’s a lesson there.

Obama: "That well-known evil empire Canada. That historical adversary of ours. Canada! *laughs* It's your neighbor. It's a few minutes' drive over the bridge! These are the people who gave us Martin Short and maple syrup. They are the nicest people! And someone we've gotten them so mad."
