@thebreakdownab.bsky.social linked Wilson to Rise of Alberta on Jan. 18 because the website at one point listed a St. Albert address that is the same as Wilson's law office. They also disclosed that Wilson's law office address is actually a UPS store. www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8er...

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

Charlie Angus: In just a year and a half, Canadian purchases of vehicles made on the American side of the border dropped 30%. If you take the American export auto economy, Canada’s number one. If you take the next 10 countries and put them together, it’s still less than Canada at number one.

A $250,000 donation to a pro-Ken Paxton super PAC came from a businessman whose dad got pardoned by Trump — and who used a fake name and rented mailbox on the donation record.

NEW: The GOP-led Georgia State Election Board asked the DOJ to declare the state's voting system unlawful before the midterms. The request, which marks an extraordinary request from the body, comes despite board members denouncing federal involvement in state election procedures.

The State Election Board is controlled by election-denying Republicans who are asking for a software update to the entire electronic voting system BEFORE the Nov elections. Early voting starts in a couple of weeks. There's no time to adequately implement or test such an upgrade.

I don't find the Schmitt Senate fiasco remotely funny. It's just McCarthyism but more incompetent. It's appalling, & a constitutional order that can't end this level of unserious lying & extremist nonsense isn't worth saving. We need massive institutional reform to make sure it never happens again.

For anyone not paying attention, Trumpism isn’t going away once the brain-boiled decompensating orange psychopath is gone. He’s a #WeekendAtBernie’s frontman while the ghouls really running the show have even more designs on 🇨🇦 than Trump does. This idea has been normalized across the right. #cdnpoli
