A good summary.Thread.
I do. Democracy is slow grinding work. Autocracy promises quick easy solutions. Democracy requires a lot of its citizens. Autocracy allows people to be lazy. Democracy requires compromise. Democracy strives for fairness but can never be completely fair . . . 1/

Michigan Republican operatives travelled to Alberta to pitch separatists on 10X Votes, software for identifying and mobilizing conservative voters. That software inspired the Centurion Project, which let users search Albertans’ names and addresses from a stolen voters list.

As you read this meticulously researched article, keep in mind: Danielle Smith and the UCP made it all easier, not harder, for these guys to control our political agenda. Don't for a moment think it stops at one referendum question, either. Say no to the 9 and remain.

Ossoff: Today, I am challenging Mike Collins to see if just for once in his life, he can do the right thing and stand up to Donald Trump. I am challenging Mike Collins to join me in demanding an end to this war. Let's see if Mike Collins has the courage to stand up for the American people instead of bowing down to Donald Trump. Let's see if he has the courage. And I'll see Mike on the debate stage on Thursday, and we'll put this question to him again.

Well, would you look at that... 🇨🇦 Canada named the world’s most positive global influence for the 10th year in a row. We’re not perfect. We’ve got work to do, but damn proud to be Canadian. 🇨🇦🍁 cultmtl.com/2026/10/canada-n…

Danielle Smith gave the separatists everything they wanted. Did she know her separatist friends were trying to give the U.S. the resources that belong to all Albertans? Mitch Sylvestre is pictured to the right of Smith and remains the president of the Bonnyville-Cold Lake-St. Paul United Conservative Party (UCP) constituency association. Danielle’s own party members were conspiring with Americans and selling Albertans out to become the 51st state, behind closed doors. When will Danielle do what’s best for the province and the country and kick them out of the UCP?

Jon Ossoff: “I want the president’s remaining supporters to hear this because it was all a lie. They made you pay more for everything and took us to war on lies and spent most of last year trying to cover up for the world’s most famous pedophile while the crook president and his crook family raked in billions.”

Nearly half million Albertans endorsed the #ForeverCanadian movement in our plea to avoid this divisive and destructive referendum. That’s why we refuse to take a position on, and legitimize any questions posed by the Premier. Premier, PLEASE stop this madness. #ableg #cdnpoli

A blue wave will not happen unless you personally make it happen. Do not trust the polls. Do not believe other people will do it for you. Go vote and encourage everyone you know to do the same.
November is going to be a political bloodbath for MAGA.

The Supreme Court has granted Trump substantial criminal impunity. Even if not, criminal law moves too slowly to catch a man of 80. But Trump's corruptly obtained wealth will outlive him -and could provide a dangerous resource for another round of attacks on law and democracy.

“It’s not that complicated,” said Marc Elias, the Democratic election lawyer, who said the new policy was a blatant effort to disenfranchise Democrats. “The administration knows that Democrats are more likely to vote by mail than Republicans. nytimes.com/2026/08/30/us/po…

Pritzker: So here’s the truth, plain and simple: Our state is under siege. Not by protesters, not by immigrants, not by the deep state, not by the press, not by Canada or Mexico or Greenland, not by Antifa or by Jewish space lasers or pride parades. No. Our state is under siege by a petty, corrupt man in Washington. A man who ran for president because he wanted to live in a palace and get rich or get richer. Our state is under siege by the skilled sycophants who surround that president and use his base desires as cover for their own destructive agendas. Our state is under siege by the many, many Republicans who are either too infatuated or too frightened to fight Donald Trump for the people they serve. And I mean Republicans like Darren Bailey. You can be a lot of things and still be an effective governor, but one thing you cannot be is a coward.

The Trump administration is pressuring the National Park Service to give a piece of Yosemite National Park to a private developer. This isn't Trump's first attack on our beautiful national parks. Here's what you need to know.

Imagine being dumb enough to be like, ‘well, I can’t afford gas, I lost my cattle ranch, my wife’s OB closed up shop, my kids got measles, my blueberries might kill me, my lettuce gave me the shits and there’s a data center in my backyard, but at least it’s Lake America now!’ 🇺🇸
