NEW: We uncovered multiple photos of Jeffrey Epstein at Donald Trump‘s wedding. Photos of the pair together earlier that year at an event. And video of Epstein and Trump at the 1999 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. cnn.com/2025/07/22/pol…
Trump’s cognitive decline on full display- he just babbles without knowing what he’s saying. Here, he claims he’s going to reduce drug prices by 1,400%, which means pharmaceutical companies would have to pay Americans to take their drugs. Jake Tapper, where’s your investigation?
The reason I took up the case is because a woman filed a lawsuit against Mr. Trump alleging he raped her when she was a teenager. At the time, (2016) Mr. Trump was running for president of the United States -- and had nominated Acosta for a top cabinet position. Acosta was the…
If 🇨🇦 'accepts' a deal with Trump that keeps big US tariffs on our vital value-added industries, we lose our right to challenge them under CUSMA or WTO, give him a win at his most vulnerable moment, and lock in subservient status. See our report: centreforfuturework.ca/2025/07/22/a-b… #cdnecon

Oh my God, you total jackasses. EVERY country had a notable drop in life expectancy circa 2020. And you know why: COVID. Maybe you don't know that the USA had a WORSE drop in life expectancy, and started from a lower base to begin with!
Canada had a notable drop in life expectancy since 2020: "Being on the side of reality and facts is so against the narrative... they're willing to ignore an increase in all-cause mortality."
David Eby gets it. The world wants our - critical minerals - oil, gas and electricity - potash & ag exports - lumber - tourism $ - pension capital - AI talent And much more. We have leverage. We shouldn’t act like we can be broken by threats of annexation or imperial tarifs.
