The use of terror is not a byproduct of Trumpian politics: it is central to how he governs.
(Politico) - An Indiana Senate Republican who President Donald Trump called out in a Truth Social post Sunday for not backing the White House’s plan to draw new congressional maps was later targeted by a swatting, according to local authorities.

There is speculation the UCP will invoke the notwithstanding clause tomorrow for its 3 laws restricting the rights of trans and gender diverse youth. This requires legislative amendment so will need to be voted on by the Leg. It is Transgender Awareness Week and this timing is beyond shameful.
@jenniferkoshan.bsky.social Jennifer this is correct I think. Smith is using the Notwithstanding Clause again. I wanted to check with the expert!
Is Danielle Smith using the Notwithstanding Clause a second time?!?!?!
