Looking like nothing else on the road, the truck promises "Truck 2.0" meaning a new evolution of what a pickup truck can be.

It’s time to talk about the real threat to free speech these days: the “vengeful dipshit billionaires,” as the Onion CEO put it. Because their lawsuits — no matter how frivolous — can silence the reporters who hold them accountable. The Media Matters for America staff deserved better.

Pierre Poilievre lied 114 times during Question Period on May 22, 2024. Surprised? Me, either. PoiLIEvre is a serial liar, using the playbook of his hero, Trump. Here's the evidence...

The difference between Project 2025 and Trump’s usual authoritarian ravings is that Project 2025 isn’t an empty threat, it’s a concrete plan that will roll back your rights and put the government in your life. We’ve been warned. Trump=fascism.

From Harlan Crow, Clarence Thomas accepted 38 vacations, 26 private jet flights, a dozen VIP passes to sporting events, rooms at luxury resorts and his nephew's tuition payments. Crow then bought the property Clarence's mother lived on. Clarence reported NONE of it.
