TX just invaded another state. They have no authority to do that. It is expressly forbidden by the Constitution yet I have not heard anybody outside of Gavin and Pritzker even mention it. They should be yelling it from every mic.

Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"

It’s not twisting your words at all. It’s merely comparing one public service to another.

That’s just EVs. Doesn’t include smartphones, tablets, or any of the other devices that we typically charge at night. Nice try though.

He asbilolutely did NOT campaign on everything he's doing now.

Mary 🇨🇦 @marythemuser.bsky.social · 23h

He clearly campaigned on everything he’s doing now, & was elected. If he had majority, I’d complain. He doesn’t. And it’s not like he didn’t get a majority because he wasn’t “left enough”. The other party’s electors wanted something much worse! Carbon tax was extremely unpopular. Stupid, but it was.

The judge also set an initial schedule for pre-trial motions.

The first set is expected by Oct. 12. Per Comey’s defense counsel, that batch will include motions to dismiss for selective and vindictive prosecution, as well as a motion challenging the legality of Halligan’s appointment as US attorney

I actually lived in Hespeler Ontario, home of the Hespeler hockey stick brand. When I was a kid it was Hespeler or Sherbrooke. There’s a company that makes wooden bassball bats there now.

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"
