Doug Ford is not the mayor of Ontario!
“Simply put, the local issues that directly affect city residents should be decided by them and their local representatives.
Local affairs are not improved by having Mr. Ford blunder into them.” www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/edit... #topoli #onpoli

Globe editorial: Doug Ford is not the mayor of Ontario

The premier’s continual interventions in municipal affairs diverts attention from pressing provincial issues

In my newsletter this week, I call bulls*** on Ubisoft’s decision to cancel a game because killing Klansmen is now frowned upon in this establishment.
Uhh, also the plot to bomb the Supreme Court and the vindictive stupidity of the James indictment.

But mainly freaking Ubisoft

The Plot That Could Have Deranged America

In his weekly newsletter, Elie Mystal explores everything from the foiled plot against Supreme Court justices to the ongoing plot to foil mail-in voting.

All of the states where they have been introduced, with the exception of North Dakota, allow the death penalty for homicide cases.

"So pro-life that they'll kill you."

Since the beginning of this year, Republican lawmakers have introduced bills in at least 10 states, including Georgia, Kentucky, Missouri, South Carolina, Texas, Oklahoma, Indiana, Iowa, Idaho and North Dakota, that aim to charge pregnant women with homicide if they seek out or receive an abortion.

Johnson and Lauer are stalling.

If Grijalva isn’t sworn in, it gives them time to pressure one of the 4 Republicans who signed the discharge petition to flip.

The reason they’re working this hard to shield the Epstein files is because Trump’s name is all over them.
