There was a special election for a state Senate seat, in Texas, last Saturday. Texas is a reliable red state which has shown signs of turning a bit purple. Donald Trump, in the federal election, in 2024, won this district by 17 points. So this should’ve been an easy win for Texas state Republicans. Funny…

Double Dog Dare You
Prior to the budget being announced, yesterday, the liberals were three votes, short of a majority.

Hypocrisy
Pierre Poilievre (PP) is accusing Mark Carney of hiding from the campaign. “Mark Carney is in hiding today and yesterday.” “He doesn’t want to answer for the lost Liberal decade.
