By making threats to annex Canada, trump has galvanized Canadians against voting for Conservative leader Pierre Polievre, who’s been trying to escape his image as a Canadian trump. Odds of Polievre becoming PM have crashed from near certain to near zero.

With all the calls for Hegseth to resign or be fired, as well as the others on that text group, may I suggest one other call/demand for resignations that is conspicuous by its absence?

Every Senator who voted to confirm Hegseth.

Every one of them knew how horrifically unqualified he was and that this sort of thing was absolutely going to happen, yet they voted for him anyway, putting our country in danger simply to appease the Dictator in Chief.

“A brazen state abduction, in daylight, on video—it feels like a new threshold has been crossed. When the government rolls up on a young woman on the streets with no charges, no warning, no transparency, how else can you describe it? It doesn’t matter if you have a green card, a visa, or, maybe, any legal status at all. Each new case is pushing the limits of the law, & the Trump administration…doesn’t care if the courts try to stop what it’s doing.” #RESIST #ICE slate.com/news-and-politics/20

Heather Cox Richardson blog post today re Signal use for defense communication and lack of leadership:

"The messages reveal that President Trump was not part of the discussion of whether to make the airstrikes, a deeply troubling revelation that raises the question of who is in charge at the White House."

The key takeaway from the Signal scandal is that no matter where in this planet or which industry you work, incompetent men incessantly fail upwards while being excused for their most awful mistakes, while top performing women get harassed for sending emails.
