Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Epyrifenacil is yet another forever chemical, and this marks the fifth proposed approval of a PFAS pesticide since Trump took office.

The right doesn’t have to stay trapped in one big-tent party that keeps tearing itself apart.

With proportional representation, conservatives could organize into multiple parties that reflect real differences and still work together in government.

Blue background graphic with white text explaining that the right in British Columbia should question whether an electoral system that forces them into one large unstable big-tent party is working when it only creates constant infighting. Below is a tweet from journalist Rob Shaw reporting that John Rustad refused to resign after losing his fifth MLA and accused another member of not supporting caucus positions. The graphic concludes that proportional representation would let the right be represented by multiple parties without vote splitting, allowing more room for different voices without infighting, and includes the line “Learn more at fairvote.ca.”

Carraway raises Zoe being restricted from testifying about the photos/videos documented at Perdue’s Petaluma Poultry. He asks Judge Gnoss to reconsider. This limitation hinders her right to a fair trial. Gnoss reaffirms his ruling, stating she cannot rely on this info or be questioned about it.

Doug Ford is ignoring mayors and putting lives at risk to score political points.

A government elected by only 40% of voters shouldn’t have unchecked power to make reckless decisions like this.

Ontario needs proportional representation so every vote counts.

Graphic with a headline from a news article stating that Doug Ford rejected mayors’ plea to keep speed cameras. Above, text highlights that when someone is inevitably hurt or killed due to this reckless policy, we should remember the government did it with a false majority despite most voters choosing another party. Below, it urges support for proportional representation so no party can play politics with road safety.
