Weimar Germany would like a word.

President-elect Donald Trump has mused more than once that he might like to run for re-election again in 2028 and seek a third term. The Constitution's 22nd Amendment does not allow it. Here’s why. nyti.ms/3Oh2Z5M

It is with great sadness that we have learned about the passing of our dear Ambassador, John Horgan. He brought such positive energy to the Canada-Germany relation, and his kindness will remain in our hearts. Our deepest condolences to his wife Ellie, and sons, Evan and Nate.

Thanks @evandavidbrown for this interview about your years working with Premier John Horgan, and your memorable job interview. Here's the audio... #bcpoli cbc.ca/listen/live-ra…

🧵On October 22nd of 2017, I finished my last bartending shift and began my first day as Premier Horgan's EA the very next morning. For the next 4 years I spent nearly every day with John. He loved telling the unlikely story of how I was hired, so I'm going to tell it.

As thousands march down the country to Parliament to protest the divisive Treaty Principles Bill, @Maori_Party MP Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke led a room-shaking haka aimed at the Bill's architect, David Seymour:


Me with a bowl of chips.

A pair of roses placed under the picture of former BC Premier John Horgan at the BC Legislature. The note reads in part: “Let us remember the laughter, love and joy John brought into our lives” #bcpoli

John Horgan was a remarkable guy and often utterly unmanageable. Near the end of the 2020 campaign, we thought we had avoided all the political pitfalls that could derail a campaign… That’s when John jumped onto a mechanical pink cow, riding and yelling “Come on Bessie!” 🖖


This was what John Horgan was like. Check out this 🧵

The #BCLeg Canadian flag is flying at half-mast to honour the life and memory of former Premier John Horgan, who passed away today. The flag will remain at half-mast until sunset on the day of the funeral or memorial service (date to be determined).

Earlier today, veterans, families, and community members gathered to honour those who sacrificed their lives for freedom and peace. Thank you to everyone who came to remember. Lest we forget. #lestweforget2024 #RemebranceDay

This guy is wrong about many things but worth pointing out this one! Pre-interviews are standard in broadcast news. They help producers confirm basic facts and get a sense of what you know. They help the interviewee prep + see how a live conversation will flow. Not a conspiracy!
