I'm seeing this get shared around in lots of places. (So apologies for picking on Judy) But it is sloppy research.

This wire transfer is to "Harper & Associates Inc," which is the name of multiple firms across the U.S.

The former prime minister's company is "Harper & Associates Consulting Inc."

Friday night musing... this may sound odd, but when the word "homeland" started appearing in U.S. legislation and then "Homeland Security" became official after 9/11, I had a bad feeling. It smacked too much of the man with the moustache who used it frequently. I think my gut was right. #uspoli

Any other figure skating fans watch the men's free skate in the #Olympics today? Lots of unexpected moments with an unlikely Kazackh skater taking the Gold. I must say, though, as a long-time fan, I wish they hadn't changed the rule to allow singing in the music they're skating to. Opinions?

This couple is travelling by bus from Alaska to Argentina and their videos are outstanding. I'm talking Nat Geo quality and they do all the production, filming, post-production, themselves, on the bus. The videos about BC are incredible and I urge people to watch. #Canada

Proud Albertans who love Canada - also known as "Federalists," need to start organizing.

It doesn't matter what your political party, ideology, or beliefs are. This has to be the time where we start taking charge and getting ready.

NEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program.

This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE.

Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.
Virginia’s New Governor Ends ICE Program. Local Contracts Remain, For Now. - Bolts
Abigail Spanberger left the 287(g) program, which empowered state law enforcement to detain immigrants. Will Democrats also bar local police and sheriffs from the program?
