WASHINGTON — White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt is departing her post at the end of August to spend more time with her family, President Trump announced.
Leavitt, 28, a mother of two and the youngest ever White House press secretary, gave birth to her second child, Viviana, in May and had officially just returned from maternity leave last month.
Trump, 80, hailed her as “one of my most trusted aides.”
Nineteen more criminal charges have been added to the list of counts faced by four people arrested in connection with the north London gun-and-explosives investigation earlier this year.
A new, amended and lengthy list of charges was filed with the Ontario Court of Justice Tuesday, bringing the total to 31 separate counts. Some of the counts are joint charges against all four accused, while others pertain to specific people in the case.
Weird.
Communist streamer Hasan Piker melted down over Communist Francesca Hong’s upset loss in Tuesday’s Democrat primary election for Wisconsin governor. Piker blamed “the fucking national media,” who he says are lying to voters about Democratic Socialist candidates. He also threatened revenge on the Democrat Party establishment.
Recently the Food Professor, or Sylvain Charlebois, has pointed out the lack of innovation in the Canadian dairy industry — which he says has partly been caused by the lack of Canadian sovereignty in the industry, with many of its processors having become internationally owned.

Hey, remember that unhinged cultural revolution we launched a few years back? That was insane — amirite?
That’s essentially what Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) told ABC News host Jonathan Karl recently, quoting a New York City Council member who describes socialist Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate Francesca Hong’s past tweets about defunding the police and shuttering prisons.
At Northern Cable, the machinery that churns out steel-clad cable runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The push isn’t driven by a flood of new orders. It’s driven by fear.
The Canadian company is rushing to fill warehouses across the United States. It is one of many businesses making goods in Canada for U.S. customers that now face pressure to move their factories south of the border to avoid President Trump’s 50 percent tariffs, which are scheduled to start next week, on their products.
As wildfires rushed down the hills surrounding Los Angeles in January 2025, Polymarket users were trying to correctly predict how many acres would burn — chasing a payout for getting it right.
Some users appeared to grow uneasy, even as Polymarket let people bet on whether the fires would spread to nearby counties or when they might be contained.
“i hope i lose,” one user wrote in the site’s comments section, adding: “i wont cash out as i’m a man of my word.” Another replied, “Don’t be a man of your word, be a man of your money!”
According to the Food Professor, or Dr. Sylvain Charlebois, an agri-food professor who operates a lab out of Dalhousie University, Canada’s chicken prices could soar to record levels in September if the feds don’t do something about it.
Britain is facing its worst food security crisis in decades as repeated heatwaves risk ruining farmers’ harvests, analysts have warned.
The warning was issued as nearly three quarters of England was declared to be in drought, increasing the threat posed to food production across the country.
Soaring temperatures are damaging wheat yields, vegetable crops and milk production, Shore Capital warned, leaving the UK increasingly reliant on food grown abroad.
A middle-class society is one where ordinary work creates a real path to ownership. A useful education should lead to a job that pays enough to buy a home and save, leaving room to absorb a setback or take a risk. That is how wages become agency, and how families acquire a durable stake in the country.
Liberal democracy depends on the accessibility of that stake. Citizens who can see themselves advancing have reason to build institutions and accept obligations to the people around them. But when work no longer offers a plausible route upward, the material basis of citizenship begins to erode.
Russia is increasingly relying on ballistic missiles for its attacks on Ukraine — precisely the weapons that Ukraine’s armed forces depend heavily on Western support to ward off.
However, the crucial US-produced Patriot interceptor missiles are often in short supply.

OTTAWA – Canada could lose 102,000 jobs if the Canada-U.S.-Mexico agreement on trade breaks down, a new report warns.
The report, prepared for the Canadian American Business Council by Oxford Economics, studied the potential economic consequences of CUSMA negotiations, including termination of the deal.
The report says the United States would lose 214,000 jobs in 2027 if CUSMA died.
Democrats called on Tuesday for a congressional briefing over a stunning charade in which Donald Trump was secretly spirited to a different plane than the one the public and press believed he was travelling on. Critics now question why reporters and the public had been deliberately misled.
When US intelligence allegedly found a credible threat that Iran plotted to kill him last month, Trump left Air Force One in a catering truck, an episode first reported by the Washington Post and also by the New York Times. While the president was reportedly snuck out the side door of the plane, more than a hundred aides, officials and reporters were kept onboard to fly towards Britain, without being told there was a threat to their lives.
