Trump has said he wants to harm our economy to annex us, and Americans have uniformly ignored it or treated it as a joke. It’s a lot deeper than tariffs making everyone poorer for Canada.

To join the coming chorus of runners: unless you’re specifically training to run while carrying weight, weighted vests for running are a big injury risk for no benefit (you can always run up a hill or a little faster instead).

Doesn’t it raise gas prices, and so domestic political pressure on Trump?

The problem though is it creates even more disruption to the oil market, damaging the US and world economy even more.

What’s the most recent precedent you can think of for high ranking US officials being punished for war crimes? I have nothing.

Isn’t what you’re describing a survivable second strike capacity?

South Korea would have an incredibly short time to launch those missiles after North Korea launched.

Article 5 applies to attacks on members in Europe or North America.

A Muslim person should be able to walk down the street without being yelled at because of Al-Qaeda. It’s laudable to speak out against people wrongly claiming to represent you, but it’s wrong to target people because of their nationality or religion.

But AIPAC is wrong. The logic only holds if you accept AIPAC’s position.

The missile pictured hit seconds after the school was hit. So the theory that Iran targeted the school seems to require believing that they knew the US strike was coming in advance and hit the school with near-perfect timing to make the US look bad.

If you assume the US and Israel aren’t coordinating attacking on targets so close together it means it wasn’t Israel.

I don’t know what the theory is that blames Iran, but presumably the school would be evacuated shortly after the US strike. How could Iran stage something so quickly?

Almost all Economist articles are like that

Homeless Oregon youth got $1,000 a month for two years. Most found housing after • Oregon Capital Chronicle Oregon is the second of its kind in the nation to implement the direct cash transfer program after New York City.

"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed."

A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends.

Other supports matter, but housing comes first. Not policing. Not moralizing. Homes.

Note from the editors: ProPublica is publishing the names of the two federal immigration agents involved in the fatal shooting of Minnesota protester Alex Pretti. We believe there are few investigations that deserve more sunlight and public scrutiny than this one, in which two masked agents fired 10 shots at Pretti as he lay on the ground after being pepper-sprayed. The Department of Justice said it is investigating the incident, but the names of the two agents have been withheld from Congress and from state and local law enforcement. The policy of shielding officers’ identities, particularly after a public shooting, is a stark departure from standard law enforcement protocols, according to lawmakers, state attorneys general and former federal officials. Such secrecy, in our view, deprives the public of the most fundamental tool for accountability.

A note from our editors:

Is it common in the US for an appellate court to tell lower courts how to weigh evidence like this? From my perspective in Canada it’s very strange to see trial judges being told to discount categories of evidence rather than deciding based on the record before them.

There was a Supreme Court of Canada decision in 1998, around when a referendum on Quebec separating almost won a majority. A province can separate if a clear majority votes for it on a clear question.

I’d blame the people doing the bombing, and allowing it to happen, not the people being bombed.

Respectfully, she’s responsible to the people of Venezuela; Americans are responsible for themselves. American institutions have failed to stand up to Trump, you can’t blame the rest of the world when they calculate they ought to flatter the mad king.

I’ve used them for running and it seems very real. Apparently they work while swimming though I’ve never tried.

“A protected person, granted protected status in Canada, mistakenly thought they could travel to the United States to visit a relative.”

That individual was detained by ICE and deported to a third country, despite Canada being willing to receive them, Aiken said.

Legal safer supply programs inaccessible to most, B.C court hears Jeremy Kalicum and Eris Nyx were convicted of trafficking earlier this month for having operated an illicit-drug compassion club

As DULF's compassion club was forced to close, its operators worked to get its 43 members legal Rx alternatives, successfully transitioning only 2 or 3 – a point that piqued the interest of the judge, who asked about the barriers to safer supply programs

Drug trafficking is not a capital crime; it doesn’t carry a death sentence. I genuinely cannot think of anything under U.S. law that would permit premeditated government assassination of people suspected of drug trafficking.
