She's a woman. All women are replaceable in Trump's world.

Justice Department publishes some missing Epstein files related to Trump The Justice Department has published additional Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor after an NPR investigation found dozens of pages were withheld.

The Justice Department released *some* of the missing files, namely FBI interview notes from the woman alleging Epstein trafficked her as a young teen to Trump, Trump sexually assaulted her, and then she later endured a series of threats not to talk. Very dark reading www.npr.org/2026/03/05/n...

Lots of people in Europe and elsewhere in the globe think that Canada and the U.S. are the same, culturally.

We do share many similarities, particularly surface similarities. But there are deep, cultural differences between the two. This chart is a good illustration of one such core difference.

Ukrainian ombudsman: 337 Ukrainian POWs are known to have been executed in Russian captivity, as of late 2025.

95% of Ukrainian POWs are subjected to systematic torture.

Rep. Thomas Massie has claimed that key members of his team were offered prestigious jobs in the Trump administration in an effort to stall legislation that would have forced the Department of Justice to release the Epstein files.

Also hand size. Today's players are physical freaks. The size of the ball has not increased in line with the size of the people carrying it.

Nobody in the world should be dying from a tooth infection in 2026.

Certainly not somebody in the custody of the United Steates.

Halifax's debt from many years of urban sprawl is troubling.

Hopefully the Houston government is in a position to help and hasn't wasted years of strong economic growth in Nova Scotia doing stupid things like eliminating user fees on bridges or spending $6 billion on out-of-budget projects.

So Rubio explained that the US - Israel's weapons supplier, bank, and bodyguard - was utterly powerless to stop its tiny little state from attacking Iran. Just couldn't be done. Absolutely no leverage whatsoever. And so naturally, the only logical solution was for America to... also bomb Iran.

It's not just Trump. It's all of MAGA. It's why they're so opposed to rights for others. They can't envision rights for others as being anything but a diminuation in their own rights.

Today, Congress was finally briefed on Trump's war of choice in Iran.

Even behind closed doors, they couldn't get their story straight.

But one thing is clear: they don't have a clue what the end game is, and it sure as hell isn't making America safer.

Because the most relevant aspect of whether Trump and Hegseth know what they're doing in Iran is, in Hegseth's opinion, that Joe Biden didn't know what he was doing. 🀑

We’re in one of those situations where reporting and analysis of what has happened is really useful. And where β€œhere’s what could happen next” will get a lot of clicks but is fundamentally almost useless.

Four men stand indoors behind a large sign that reads β€œSASKATCHEWAN.” They are dressed in matching light-coloured sweaters covered with numerous crests and patches, dark trousers, and wide-brimmed hats. Each man stands with hands at his sides or clasped behind his back. The floor has a patterned carpet, and the backdrop appears to be a plain curtain or wall. Along the bottom margin of the image are the words β€œDOMINION CURLING CHAMPIONSHIP.”

The Brier is one of Canada's most prestigious sporting events. First held in 1927, many great teams have taken part.

The Johnny Franklin Rink from Rosetown represented Saskatchewan at the 1951 Brier and finished in third place.

Now you know why we are where we are today. Last year, he said we destroyed Iran's nuclear capabilities. That was another lie.

This is DOGE all over again.

The Trump administration is fixated on massive imagined frauds that don't actually exist - social security, voting, Medicaid.

They will waste 100s of millions of dollars to discover existing controls already limit actual fraud to a handful of incidental cases.

First they came for Minnesota, and I was like ... wut? Minnesota? Seriously? That's who they're going throw down with? After Minnesota already chased the ICE goons away?

Way to double down on a losing hand, Vance.
