Trudeau on giving himself “emergency” powers to stop truckers protest: “Reasonable and proportionate”
Trudeau: “These tools include strengthening their ability to impose fines or imprisonment … financial institutions will be ... directed to … regulat[e] and prohibit the use of property to fund or support illegal blockade”
Trudeau deputy prime minister: “We are broadening the scope of Canada’s anti money laundering laundering and terrorist financing rules so that they cover crowd funding platforms"
Trudeau deputy PM: “Financial service provider will be able to immediately freeze or suspend an account without a court order [if the person supports the truckers]. In doing so, they will be protected against civil liability for actions taken in good faith."
Trudeau Minister of Public Safety: “We’ve had to take the very careful and deliberate step of introducing the Emergencies Act” due in part to truckers’ "expressions of hate”
Trudeau: My forced vaccination program “is not dividing Canadians”
Trudeau on towtrucks refusing to tow Freedom Convoy truckers: Emergency actions include “an opportunity to compel”

Hey friends, just back from another suspension. As I've been documenting for some time now, @Twitter is targeting me because I'm an effective conservative journalist who frequently undermines political causes their far-left staff is endeavoring to advance. 1/
Despite having never broken any rules, @Twitter has now suspended me four separate times. Allow me to quickly recap: /2
1) In 2021, I attacked @AndrewCuomo for withholding vaccines for NYC seniors as part of his catfight w/ De Blasio. Twitter suspended me for "abuse and harassment," as apparently it's against the rules to critique their favorite predators, err politicians!

MSNBC’s @NicolleDWallace, yesterday: "Tragically anti-mask insanity has now reached the highest court in the land.”

"Nina Totenberg .. really is a true insider, well-sourced on the Court"
@NicolleDWallace Morning Joe’s @morningmika: "Chief Justice John Roberts asked the other justices to mask up. They all did, except for Gorsuch."
@NicolleDWallace @morningmika CNN’s @donlemon: "Sources say Justice Sotomayor is concerned about Covid because she suffers from diabetes and underlying health conditions."

A mere 3 weeks later, I’ve finally managed to get @Twitter to respond to my media company, @GrabienMedia, being suspended for engaging in journalism.

Twitter’s response? “Our position still stands on your Covid Misinformation [sic] tweet.”
I’ve replied:

So your “position” is that journalists reporting the news violates your “Covid misinformation policy”? 

Can you please explain why our account remains suspended while, for example, this kind of account remains up?

As you can see, it would make no sense to prevent the media from reporting on claims politicians make about Covid — whether true or false. Under your standard, CNN, for example, would have been suspended for reporting on Trump saying bleach might be a possible Covid antidote.

I’ve just read the full indictment of the Oath Keepers’ founder on “seditious conspiracy” and there’s no way they’re going to convict. At no point do they ever explain the “seditious conspiracy.” The indictment merely shows they planned to go to D.C. to protest & cause trouble.
The lack of evidence likely explains why it’s taken more than a year before filing charges. You’ll also see the FBI leans heavily on editorializing throughout the indictment, and offers random, unrelated commentary — like this line about the “thousands of dollars” of damage.
Having apparently taken defendants' phones, the indictment reads like a synopsis of everything they texted each other in the weeks between the election and Biden’s inauguration … such as this random joke about staying at a Holiday Inn

Some of Gore’s claims @benstracy & @GayleKing think have come true:

1) In 2008, Al Gore said “the entire North polarized cap will disappear in 5 years”
@benstracy @GayleKing 2) "In his 2006 book, An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore asserted there would be no more snows on Mt. Kilimanjaro by the year 2016.” climaterealism.com/2020/06/an-inc…
@benstracy @GayleKing 3) Gore predicts Florida will sink under the ocean
