I’ve pre-deployed specialized emergency response crews to help protect communities in Los Angeles, Orange, and Ventura counties ahead of heavy storm predictions this week.
Californians should take proactive steps to stay safe and alert.

Amid everything else I had almost forgotten that even without a pardon, Trump has offered Ghislaine Maxwell amenities unexplainable by anything but some sort of quid pro quo.
Raskin on Ghislaine Maxwell: "The fact she was able to be transferred to a prison camp where no sex offenders had ever been allowed to enter before, much less live there, is an indication they've got some kind of meeting of the minds about what Trump can provide to her & what she can provide to him"

Albertans across our province are speaking out.
They’ve had enough of a government dismantling the public services they depend on and trampling their rights.
They deserve better than the UCP and their endless distractions.

Albertans read this thread and tell your friends. There aren’t enough government run longterm care facilities so patients needing extensive care that longterm care provides are stuck in hospitals taking up beds. They are there for months, years. Private care homes not the answer.

Everyone should listen to this excellent question – w excellent points that the Premier didn’t bother to answer...
But let's break this down, shall we?
TLDR: when Premier says “they” she is deflecting cuz “they” = GOVT

Today, Recall Red Deer submitted a Recall Petition for Red Deer South MLA Jason Stephan. I am so proud of our group and the hard work they have put in so far. It is a challenge, but I believe that regardless of the outcome, a message will have been sent.

@djclimenhaga.bsky.social: Trying to challenge the UCP government’s misuse of the Charter’s notorious notwithstanding clause may be a waste of time and money, but using the UCP’s ridiculous recall legislation as a strategy against the perpetrators is clearly rattling Premier Smith. #abpoli

These workers are only in Canada because a Canadian company said they couldn't fill their positions with Canadians
