It sounds hand-wringingly lefty because it is a universal truth. There is always money for bombs and never money for desperate people
Fletcher travels the world pleading for pennies down the couch so people don’t starve to death. $6bn a year
The US just spent that in five days bombing Iran
Meg is not overselling this
Every now and then a line in a story reminds me just how much the world has changed. That this even has to be mentioned is crazy.

Chart showing in many countries, people see their fellow citizens as morally good.
We asked people around the world to rate the morality and ethics of others in their country.
The U.S. is the only place we surveyed where more adults describe the morality and ethics of others living in the country as bad than good. See our full morality report here: www.pewresearch.org/...
Security thought they had the perpetrator but he didn’t listen to the freeze call
Whatever’s happened by the time Trump gets bored will have always been the objective, and we’ll all be dumb for having asked the questions
“.. A man stands next to a missile after it fell near Qamishli International Airport, amid the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran, in Qamishli, Syria, March 4, 2026.”

"Iranian leaders, looking up and seeing only U.S. and Israeli air power every minute of every day, until we decide it's over," Hegseth said. "Iran won't be able to do anything about it."
American administration really leaning into the sexual assaulter mindset.

Some indication of why the Carney government has avoided criticizing any part of the attacks on Iran. #cdnpoli

idk what to tell people anymore. the goal isn't competitive balance. It's franchise values. And they want a salary cap because capping spending makes their franchises worth more because it artificially restricts their costs. That's the entire thing. If they could do that without parity, they would
Nice, I’m hoping to do something similar next year.
Enjoy!
Australia’s awesome. Whereabouts?
Especially when it's diplomacy with a toddler.
I meant selling those statements (even if they are largely meaningless) to Canadian voters, who are increasingly hostile to everything to do with Trump.
Every time Carney says something flattering about Trump he uses up a little bit of political capital with a large chunk of the Canadian population
Probably a useful strategy, but gets tougher and tougher to sell as the US administration becomes more of a pariah state.
It's kind of annoying, but I think part of Carney's strategy is in statements and such he'll offer one little line that's meant simply to stoke Trump's ego, but then not do a damn thing to act on it. That might be what he did with the Iran statement. Or maybe I'm just being wishful
America has spent a year claiming Iran had no nuclear capacity and then weeks ago claimed Iran would have a nuclear weapon in days. Then they began peace negotiations but scrubbed them for no reason and bombed Iran.
This is a month after illegally decapitating the government of Venezuela.
Even that’s giving him more credit than he’s due.
He has a goal, self enrichment, but I don’t think he’s competent enough to even have a plan for that
Donald Trump pledged to keep America out of foreign wars but like most statements he makes it was a lie. Yes, the Iranian regime is horrible, and the Iranian people deserve to live freely. However, it doesn't justify our nation going to war, especially when the only reason the Iranian government may have a nuclear program is because Trump ripped up the prior multilateral agreement without an alternative to prevent a nuclear Iran. Haven't we learned our lessons of trying to fight a war in the Middle East after Iraq and Afghanistan? What if the Iranian regime is still in power after these bombings? Will he send troops to fight a ground war without a Congressional authorization? This is why our founders placed the power to declare war in Congress, not the presidency. No member of the US military should set foot in Iran without a Congressional declaration.

The whole story is good, but that's one hell of a lede.
This is amazing.

Not too often I agree with JD, but here I do. We're perhaps not talking about the same thing, but the craziest and worst regime in the world should not have nuclear weapons.
Screenshot of a quote from Doug Ford: “But it’s tit for tat. You’re going to increase tariffs on us? I can tell you one thing, a tariff on Canada is a tax on Americans. They know it. They’re feeling the crunch down there. They have the uncertainty down there, especially in Michigan. They want to tariff us, I say we tariff them back,” he said.
The response to a tax on Americans is...a tax on Canadians?

If you wanted a real state of the union, you should have been watching @meidastouch.com's alternative to the president's bloviating, deranged, outlandish performance. It's the only thing that reckoned with what's at risk.

It's so annoying. The AI routinely gets convinced I need to summarize the 40 pages of Canada Post labels I need to get my newspaper delivered to readers. Listen Adobe, I just need to print these damn pages!
Bold of him to bad mouth the deal his boss signed.
