Americans are divided not just by political beliefs but by whether they believe in a shared reality—or desire one at all.

A majority of residents in most states say that abortion should be legal; in no state do more than 16% of Americans support a ban on abortion.

Chief Justice Roberts responded to the “momentous trio of Jan. 6-related cases…by deploying his authority to steer rulings that benefited Mr. Trump, according to a New York Times examination that uncovered extensive new information about the court’s decision making.”

In short, the Chief Justice used his powers to intervene and craft an opinion that some experts have said creates new law—certainly nothing that is found in the U.S. Constitution.

“There’s no legal authority for it,” remarked CNN legal analyst Norm Eisen back in December.

“The President of the United States is the most powerful person in the country, and possibly the world. When he uses his official powers in any way, under the majority’s reasoning, he now will be insulated from criminal prosecution. Orders the Navy’s Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Organizes a military dissenting coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune. Let the President violate the law, let him exploit the trappings of his office for personal gain, let him use his official power for evil ends. Because if he knew that he may one day face liability for breaking the law, he might not be as bold and fearless as we would like him to be. That is the majority’s message today.”

The committee of experts noted that commemorations deemed to be of national significance “must derive directly from events or persons of ongoing significance to Canadian history and Canadian society.

“Members felt that when evaluated against the policy criteria, the proposed theme is not sufficiently a Canadian story,” the minutes state.

“The primary events did not occur on Canadian soil and the subjects only became Canadians subsequent to these events. The topic is therefore not seen as a central theme in Canadian history.”

Unlike Nazi leaders, he says, no communist leaders have been prosecuted for their crimes

The Memorial to the Victims of Communism has already been the focus of multiple controversies over its exact purpose, location, size and cost over the last 15 years. The price tag for the project has ballooned to an estimated $7.5 million — including $6 million in public funds — from an original budget of $1.5 million that was supposed to be funded entirely through private donations from Tribute to Liberty.

So what are we going to do here folks? I only need 11,000 votes. Fellas, I need 11,000 votes. Give me a break.

“Your numbers are right.” But your numbers aren’t right. They’re really wrong and they’re really wrong, Brad. And I know this phone call is going nowhere other than, other than ultimately, you know — Look ultimately, I win, okay?

I’m just saying you know, and, you know, under new counts, and under uh, new views, of the election results, we won the election. You know? It’s very simple. We won the election.

"While time is important, it is even more important that every vote is counted and counted accurately," Gore cautioned. "There's something very special about our process that depends totally on the American people having the chance to express their will without any interference."

"I would not want to win the presidency by a few votes cast in error or misinterpreted or not counted. I don't think Gov. Bush wants that either," he said.

In that survey, Americans were asked whether various statements were believable, including some that were simple statements of fact. Respondents were asked, for example, whether “Trump called Georgia state officials in an attempt to get them to change the 2020 election outcome in Georgia in an effort to stay president.” This is not a question of opinion; it happened. We know it happened because The Washington Post reported that it happened. And not only did The Post report that it happened, we obtained audio of the call in which Trump does exactly what’s articulated.

About 6 in 10 Americans said that the statement presented in the poll was believable. Only 3 in 10 Republicans did — even though it happened.

Former officials in Donald Trump's White House claim that on at least three occasions as president, he delayed disaster aid in states that were not Republican-leaning

In one shocking instance — during the deadly California wildfires in 2018 — Harvey claims that Trump initially refused to approve disaster aid because the state is historically Democratic. Harvey alleges that the then-president only changed his mind after staff made the case that Orange County, where fire was spreading, largely supported Trump.

“We went as far as looking up how many votes he got in those impacted areas … to show him these are people who voted for you,” Harvey said — a story corroborated by Troye.

Ken Block, whom the Trump campaign hired in 2020 to find voter fraud in the election, penned an op-ed Tuesday stating unequivocally that the 2020 presidential election was not stolen and that there was no evidence of voter fraud sufficient to change the outcome of the election.

The review found individualized cases of voter fraud in each state: 198 in Arizona, 64 in Georgia, 26 in Pennsylvania, 31 in Wisconsin, 56 in Michigan and around 98 in Nevada.

“The data in this letter is being misinterpreted,” a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, said in a statement. “The data goes back decades; it includes individuals who entered the country over the past 40 years or more, the vast majority of whose custody determination was made long before this Administration.”

The spokesperson added, “It also includes many who are under the jurisdiction or currently incarcerated by federal, state or local law enforcement partners.”

Party deletes video after viewers list gaffes, including scenes of Ukraine, Slovenia – and Russian jets

“Shockingly, Mr Poilievre’s dream for Canada includes Russian fighter jets flying over our glorious Prairies on a ‘training mission’,” Daniel Minden said in a statement on Monday.

The Canadian Future Party’s website includes an interim policy framework that focuses, in part, on personal freedoms, open government, and responsible spending.

On the right, "we're supposed to find fiscal discipline," he adds. "But along with it, too often, there’s a mean-spirited approach that blames the most vulnerable for their plight. Selfishness masquerading as liberty that happily misdirects government resources to the wealthy and polices our bodies and our bedrooms."

This is an occasion that should be treasured for its rarity value if US intelligence is correct, a fixture that will no longer be possible at the next Games in Los Angeles, given 2027 is the due date for China’s full‑scale military invasion.

Whatever happens from here, whatever the merits of that hawkish talk, the video simulations, the armada rumours, we’ll always have Paris.

Inside the White House, however, news of Kennedy’s retirement didn’t come as a shock. In fact, as The New York Times reports, the 81-year-old’s announcement was the culmination of a carefully orchestrated 17-month campaign by the Trump administration to remake the Supreme Court before the 2018 midterms, when there is an outside chance that Republicans could lose their majority. For conservatives, Kennedy’s seat was seen as one of the keys to rolling back abortion rights—on the campaign trail, Trump pledged to appoint a justice who would overturn Roe v. Wade. But first, Trump had to demonstrate to Kennedy that he could be trusted to nominate quality jurists to the Supreme Court.
