Breaking: Donald Trump was "an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of young women in the mid-to-late 1990s,” according to a report issued today by Dems on the House Judiciary Committee. The report includes one new rape allegation against Trump, and calls for a special investigation of the Trump administration's cover-up of Epstein's crimes.

.@MarkJCarney is ecstatic today and is about to ram through the most carbon-intensive, climate-destroying projects we've seen in years.
Congratulations, @LDoerkson, on your election victory. I look forward to working with you as Premier to get more homes built, unleash our full potential as an energy superpower, and build a stronger British Columbia and a stronger Canada for all. Thank you, Premier @Dave_Eby, for your service and all we’ve accomplished together. Major infrastructure projects launched. Export markets unlocked. Jobs protected. I wish you and your family all the best in this next chapter.

American Psycho wouldn’t work without the revelation that the cartoonish slasher violence is only a fantasy that Bateman believes in order to convince himself that he’s an interesting person.
Are there any ‘it was all a dream’ endings that are genuinely well-written and that people actually enjoy?

"No major city in North America is majority White."
Barring a few inner continental cities like Calgary, Edmonton, Salt Lake, Denver, no major city in North America is majority 'white'. Montreal and Seattle will be minority by the next census. Quebec City is the only supermajority white city in the Americas beyond the next census.

This clown shouldn’t have been leader to begin with, the party had to screw over a grassroots candidate in 2022 to coronate him. Great piece on that here from @TheBreachMedia: breachmedia.ca/how-the-ndp-e…
"I'll be offering my resignation as premier. Obviously." @Dave_Eby confirms he is stepping down as Premier and BC NDP leader following his election loss to @LDoerkson's BC Conservatives.

⚡️ Mayor Zohran Mamdani's NYPD is poised to sign a three-year, $750,500 no-bid contract with Israeli surveillance firm Cognyte for FalcoNet, an AI-driven device that mimics a cell tower to track phones and can be mounted on police cars and drones or hidden in a backpack, the New York Daily News reported. Cognyte won a tender to sell intercept spyware to Myanmar's state telecom weeks before the 2021 military coup, Reuters previously reported. Meta banned the firm the same year, saying its customers used fake accounts to target journalists and politicians in Kenya, Mexico and Indonesia. The firm is part of an Israeli surveillance industry that grew big as a result of the military's monitoring of Palestinians, whose phone calls Israel's Unit 8200 has intercepted and stored by the millions, including to carry out genocide in Gaza and enforce a brutal illegal occupation in Jerusalem and the West Bank.

when the worst person you know is happy
Bravo BC!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 What a great day for beautiful British Columbia, and all of Canada! The worst government in Canada, and in BC history, has been completely repudiated. David Eby’s divisive, hard left politics of envy kicked to the curb. And a principled, serious, renewed Conservative Party given a huge mandate for change! What a great sequel to Albertans’ rejection of separatism. Now we’ll have these two western powerhouses, plus Saskatchewan, aligned to build Canada into a global energy and resource super power! 🇨🇦💪🏼
