Today in committee…

UCP MLA Scott Cyr tried to justify the committees decision on not re-upping the auditor generals contract to allow him time to finish alleged corruption allegations…

David Shepherd wasn’t having it.

accountability for thee, and not for me, he said.
Today Elections Alberta requested $13.5 million to be able to administer recalls and referendum.

The UCP committee in charge revised their request to just over $1 million.

And then voted it through.

The UCP just defunded recall/referendum.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

Pappas: It’s a big tell that Republicans are trying to gerrymander their way into a permanent majority, because they understand how historically unpopular their ideas are. Whether it’s closing rural hospitals, kicking people off their health insurance, or taking food away from hungry families

Donald Trump's puppet DOJ has no business screwing around with next month's election.

Sending the feds into California polling places is a deliberate attempt to scare off voters and undermine a fair election.

We will not back down. Californians decide our future — no one else.

On a deadly serious note, the President cannot rely on external, private sources to fund spending as an end-run around Congress’ constitutional power of the purse. If he can, we no longer have a republic.

Two Brazilian firms control 40% of ALL cattle processing in the United States.

Nebraska cattle ranchers are at the mercy of foreign corporations that manipulate prices and control supply. It's time to break up these foreign monopolies and restore competitive markets that work for our ranchers.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

Pritzker on Fox: "He's challenging the integrity of the next election by sending troops into our cities. It isn't about fighting crime. He said he's going after the worst of the worst. That's not what they're doing. They are literally after black and brown people because of the color of their skin."
