Among supporters of Pierre Poilievre’s party, 59 per cent either said they feel “less safe” (48%) or “somewhat less safe” (11%) in their own neighbourhoods.

when breaking the law is so common, we don't even bother
"That he broke the law is obvious. He didn’t give 30 days’ notice. He didn’t provide any “substantive rationale.” He didn’t provide any reason at all. He just did it. And he told reporters Saturday that it was all fine. “It’s a very common thing to do,” he said. Once he says that, we know that basically every Republican, and Fox News and Sinclair and the rest of the propaganda chamber, are going to say the same thing. Lindsey Graham on Sunday hilariously admitted that “technically, yeah,” Trump broke the law but Graham wasn’t losing any sleep over it."
Canadians flocked to food banks and inequality rose as corporations profited under Trudeau. He wasn’t “far to the left.”…
“It’s not just that they’re totally unqualified, it’s that they’re anti-qualified. They are qualified to do the opposite of the thing that they are supposed to do,” Snyder said.
“Tulsi Gabbard is talking about a moment when Russian forces are approaching the Ukrainian capital. When Russian assassination squads are attempting to kill the Ukrainian head of state, and she’s advising people that all we have to do is summon up a magic word, and in effect surrender all of Ukraine to Russia,” Snyder continued. “And it’s not naïve. It sounds naïve but it’s not. What it’s doing is trying to prepare the way for more Ukrainian suffering. It’s saying, he who invades is right.”
timing is suspicious because it was a matter of hours before the committee was going to release their report
if the race were solely about their policies, Harris would win handily
Earlier media reports and statements from Trump's inner circle indicated this would entail freezing the war on the current front lines and creating a demilitarized zone in the east, a claim also supported by the WSJ's sources.
Walsh had written on X, formerly Twitter: “Now that the election is over I think we can finally say that yeah actually Project 2025 is the agenda. Lol”
“Matt Walsh, I think, is a very smart and funny guy,” Bannon said. “Put that everywhere,” he added, with instructions to his staff to promote the post on his social media.
Right-wing podcast Benny Johnson also gloated about the project. “It is my honor to inform you all that Project 2025 was real the whole time,” he wrote.
In a separate post, Tarrant County GOP Chair Bo French wrote, “So can we admit now that we are going to implement Project 2025?”
Kamala Harris’s economic policies proved far more popular than Donald Trump’s plans in a blind test of their proposals.
Four of the top five most popular proposals were from the Democratic candidate’s campaign, according to a new Harris Poll conducted exclusively for the Guardian.
Yet less than two weeks before Election Day, the Post’s opinion-section staff does not know whether the paper will run an editorial endorsement for president, according to two people at the Post with knowledge. (They asked for anonymity to talk about internal matters at the paper.)
The last time The Post did not make an endorsement for president in the general election was 1988, according to a review of archives. The Post has been endorsing candidates for local office this fall. The New York Times endorsed Harris on Sept. 30.
Bezos's new chief executive and publisher at the Post is Will Lewis, who has conservative bonafides. Lewis held the same role at Rupert Murdoch's Wall Street Journal; served as the editor of the London-based Telegraph, which is closely allied with the Tory party; and was a consultant to Conservative Boris Johnson when Johnson was prime minister. Colleagues have told NPR that Bezos selected Lewis in part for his ability to get along with powerful conservative political figures, including Murdoch.

Donald Trump claims without evidence — that his opponent never worked at the fast food restaurant during college as she has said.
Authorities have made an arrest in connection with threats made toward FEMA responders, according to the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office.
Aid to several communities impacted by Hurricane Helene was temporarily paused in parts of North Carolina over the weekend due to reports of threats against Federal Emergency Management Agency responders, amid a backdrop of misinformation about responses to recent storms.
Around 1 p.m. Saturday, an official with the U.S. Forest Service, which is supporting recovery efforts after Hurricane Helene along with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, sent an urgent message to numerous federal agencies warning that “FEMA has advised all federal responders Rutherford County, NC, to stand down and evacuate the county immediately. The message stated that National Guard troops 'had come across x2 trucks of armed militia saying there were out hunting FEMA.’”
“The IMTs [incident management teams] have been notified and are coordinating the evacuation of all assigned personnel in that county,” the email added.
Two federal officials confirmed the authenticity of the email, though it was unclear whether the quoted threat was seen as credible.
“We also sent equipment at the beginning of the pandemic,” Peskov said in a written response when asked about the book.
“They are allowed to raise whatever money they want and they don’t have to say where they got it,” said Martha Joynt Kumar, an emeritus professor of political science at Towson University who has studied presidential transitions.
An investigation led by the Democratic senator Sheldon Whitehouse also found that both the Trump White House and the FBI “misled the public and the Senate” about the scope of the investigation it did conduct into the sexual assault allegations by falsely claiming that the FBI had conducted its investigation thoroughly and “by the book”.
