This government will not stand by while children are put at risk online. Today I am calling on the tech companies to introduce device-level controls to prevent children from taking, sharing or viewing nude images. And if they don’t act, we will.

It’s your 17th birthday. You’re finally out of your state mandated car booster seat and pass your driving test albeit it is going to be another 2,930 days until a friend can accompany you anywhere. You enjoyed voting last year and are now off to the shops to get hyped up on your first ever legal can of MONSTER. It is still 365 days until can buy scissors, ask Claude a question or send your first tweet.

𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐈𝐒 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 “𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄” 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐓𝐇𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐔𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘 𝐂𝐎𝐒𝐓𝐒 Roseanne Milburn, 61, of Winnipeg, had a routine procedure turn into an amputation — not because the surgery failed, but because Canada’s government-run system couldn’t find her a bed. A surgeon at Winnipeg’s Health Sciences Centre removed dead tissue from her knee, then sent her to Concordia Hospital with the plan to bring her back that same day so a specialist could stitch the wound (CBC News). She was never brought back. There was no bed at HSC. So she sat at Concordia with an 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬, waiting for the system to make room. As the video narrator put it: “𝘌𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘥𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘢𝘯 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘯 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘊𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘥𝘢. 𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘊𝘶𝘣𝘢, 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘔𝘢𝘥𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘳, 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘧𝘢𝘳-𝘧𝘭𝘶𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘳𝘥-𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘺. 𝘕𝘰, 𝘯𝘰, 𝘯𝘰, 𝘪𝘯 𝘊𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘥𝘢.” By the time a bed opened, the wound had rotted past saving. The doctors told her the leg couldn’t be salvaged. On a Friday in December, Roseanne Milburn lost her 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐥𝐞𝐠 — over a missing hospital bed. This is not a freak accident. It is the predictable output of a system that rations care by making people wait. In 2025, the median Canadian waited 𝟐𝟖.𝟔 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐬 from a GP referral to actual treatment (Fraser Institute). For orthopedic surgery — the exact category Milburn needed — the median wait is 𝟒𝟖.𝟔 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐬. Nearly a full year. By design. That is 222 percent longer than the 9.3-week wait Canadians faced in 1993 (Fraser Institute). The system isn’t getting better. It’s getting slower — and the waiting list itself becomes the rationing mechanism. Defenders call it “𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦”. It is not free. Roseanne Milburn paid for it. She paid with her leg. Every politician selling “𝘔𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘈𝘭𝘭” is selling this — the bed that never opens, the specialist who never comes, the wound that turns black while a bureaucrat shuffles a list.

He had an intelligence agency perform a warrantless raid on a reporter's house and install spyware on her computer and there is thorough forensic evidence of this fact (Sharon Atkinson). He had another journalist threatened with jail for refusing to give up his source. The open persecution and witch hunt into James Rosen was indefensible.

I am not one to throw around Trump-Derangement-Syndrome accusations willy-nilly, but we are talking about building an arch inside a traffic circle that has nothing in it. Not like "nothing important". Like nothing. There is some grass.

The triumphal arch that Donald Trump wants to build across from the Lincoln Memorial would pervert the significance of a uniquely meaningful place, Sebastian Smee argues. theatlantic.com/culture/2026/0…

My favorite of the obvious counterexamples are the now-memoryholed John Kerry Ohio fraud complaints. Voting Machines were called to be banned and Michael Moore campaigned on returning to paper ballots.

Pretty sure this is how things played out… A few months ago Hunter Biden fled the US and said that he was $17 million in debt and couldn’t even afford to pay his lawyers. Then a big-time PR team came to him with a plan to rebuild his image and give him a new fake social media persona so he can start generating income as a cool, based “former” drug addict. They help book Hunter on some big interviews with “conservative” influencers right in conjunction with his X account launching which immediately helps it skyrocket. People start to excuse/forgive his entire lifetime of doing terrible and evil things and chalk up all of his bad decisions as being due to drugs. Now he’s a new man. Completely manufactured by people who have decided exactly who he is going to be moving forward.

You are living in a delusional fantasy if you don’t know that the money backing transgenderism (ACLU, HRC, Trevor Project, Lambda Legal, Planned Parenthood, teacher’s unions, Democratic Party) is 10,000-100,000x the money backing the critics of the movement.

The reason that Republicans have not set up their own ballot harvesting operation is too long for a tweet, but here is the summary: It is illegal to harvest ballots as a Republican. Not technically, but if you are GOP and you step out of line on even the smallest thing, they will put you in jail for 20 years.

Honest question. California's retarded electoral system has existed for 4 election cycles now including this one. Have any Republicans in the state even attempted to set up their own ballot harvesting network or do they just expect to play fair until somehow they win by accident?

Lewis Hamilton is worth half a billion dollars. He has a $40 million penthouse in NY in addition to his homes in Monaco, London, Geneva, and Milan. He owns a yacht and used to own a private jet. His outfit probably costs more than you make in a month. Who is he talking about?

The idea that you can talk shit with no possible physical consequence has been the "law" for a long time. But few really believed it or acted that way, it wasn't the social norm, there was some honor culture left. Actually internalizing this expectation is very new.

Nearly everything DSA-LA is instructing their ballot harvesters to do here is illegal. Guess which Mayoral candidate they were pushing voters to vote for?

I believe LA county is counting votes more or less accurately, but “ballot harvesting” seems like a big problem. If you can’t show up to a polling place with a MAGA hat, how is it ok for a DSA organizer to literally sit you and fill out your ballot for you?
