I’m sure the New York Times will be all over this
Massive midterm con in the super-close Nevada gov race — GOP is propping up third-party spoiler candidate Danielle Ford to siphon votes from surging Dem candidate, @AaronDFordNV. They’re falsely implying she’s endorsed by AOC in mailers and Snapchat ads. thenevadaindependent.com/art…

🚨🗞You can buy a LOT of missiles with $6.3 billion. North Korea's reported Binance hack isn't just a cybercrime story. It's about sanctions evasion, nuclear weapons, and how Pyongyang has turned cryptocurrency theft into a revenue stream.

In six years, Trump has: attempted a violent coup, without prosecution; threatened to invade Greenland and Canada; terrorized immigrants; dropped bombs on Iran; and triggered a tariff war, writes Michael Shenker. What does it all mean for the upcoming midterms? thewalrus.ca/im-watching-the…

The original estimate for costs was $2.8B. We can’t go on like this. How is there is little scrutiny over the exploding costs of infrastructure in Ontario? Taxpayers are getting absolutely fleeced. At what point do have an inquiry?

Recall that France (under Sarkozy) and Germany (under Merkel) resisted Ukraine’s NATO membership in 2008. Even today, Germany, Belgium, Spain, Slovenia, Hungary, Slovakia, and the USA (under MAGA/Trump) are holdouts. Russia’s war was largely preventable with deterrence.

There’s a great feature in @torontolife today on ideas on how to fix the housing crisis. And for my contribution? It’s time to modernize our building code and build form rules so that we can enable both more affordable and more beautiful homes to be built. Great stuff here by @BlairScorgie @CPPlanning_ @DianaCMcNally and more! Give it a read. torontolife.com/deep-dives/d…

Fox: Why are you here this morning? Trump rally attendee: Well, in the late 70s, I was a little too young to go to South America for the Jonestown Massacre. But this is as close as I'll ever get, so that's why I'm here. There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front.
