On our political radar this week… Canadian officials cut the ribbon today to herald Monday's scheduled opening of the Gordie Howe Bridge. Ontario Prime Minister Doug Ford spoke directly of the latest Trump assault on America's number one trading partner, saying “ Ontario will be ready to respond in any new American tariffs, will not back down, and will negotiate from a position of strength as a top trading partner, more than half of the United States.” Because of Trump's latest tariff tantrum no Americans were invited to the event. At recording time the Bridge is set to open for vehicular traffic on Monday. Instead of presiding at a joint ribbon cutting which had been planned for next Monday midway between Detroit and Windsor, Trump will be a few miles north for a campaign rally. His campaign visit: an admission that Michigan Democrats could flip 3 Republican-held seats in Congress. For Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers, it could be a political nightmare. He'll have no choice but to join hands with a President whose approval rating is a pathetic 33 percent…and falling. On the Democratic side of the Senate race, Governor Whitmer has endorsed Haley Stevens. Polls show Stevens with a slight lead over Abdul El-Sayed … and El-Sayed drawing large crowds this last week at rallies featuring Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. But the endorsement comes with nearly 700-thousand absentee ballots already been received by local clerks, and another 1.2-million absentee ballots have been issued but not yet returned. Early in-person voting begins on tomorrow. Defense Secretary (and former Fox & Friends B-Team talker) Pete Hegseth took a trip to Capitol Hill. The hostile reception he got from the Senate Appropriations Committee was enough to drive a man to drink. Hegseth wants another $90-billion to continue Trump's War of Choice in Iran … and Senators made it clear they weren't buying what he was selling. The normally soft-spoken Senator Gary Peters pulled no punches in lambasting the former Fox News weekend couch talker. Hegseth claims the Iran War has cost around $37-billion so far. Of course, with Trump's massive budget deficit estimated at 2-trillion dollars, the entire cost of the war goes on the federal credit card to be paid by future generations. And Senator Elissa Slotkin says the real cost is more … 200-billion dollars or more. The State Board of Canvassers voted to put the Money out of Politics proposal on the November ballot. If approved by voters and if it gets past a court challenge, the proposal would ban political spending by regulated utilities and companies with state contracts. Organizers got some major messaging help in the latest campaign finance reports which showed that CMS Energy has spent more than a quarter-million-dollars in a Republican primary targeting the chair of a House subcommittee who opposes construction of new data centers in Michigan. The number is huge. In 2024, there were a total of 13,491 votes cast in the district’s Republican primary (it's a very red district so the primary is the real election). With a similar turnout this year, the spending equals $20 per vote.

Marty breaks down the growing anger and harassment aimed at the thousands of canvassers collecting signatures for the Stay Free Alberta independence petition. As Alberta separatism, petition politics and public backlash dominate the conversation, this episode looks at what the hostility on the ground reveals about Alberta's political mood and the fight over its future.
Canvassers are currently collecting signatures for a petition in Alberta that could trigger a referendum on whether Albertans want to remain a part of Canada. The volunteers are with a group called Stay Free Alberta, whose leaders are Mitch Sylvestre and Jeffrey Rath.Matthew Scace is a staff reporter for The Globe and Mail based in Calgary. He has been reporting on the separatist movement in Alberta and shares interviews he conducted with the leaders, and some supporters, on how they feel about recent U.S. comments about their movement and why they've given up on Canada.Questions?

The Nebraska State Board of Canvassers met to certify the results of the 2024 general election Monday afternoon. Deputy Secretary of State for Elections Wayne Bena said nearly 70,000 ballots were hand counted after the election and only 7 had discrepancies between the hand count and machine count. Bena said the implementation of voter ID had a negligible effect on the election and fewer than 350 ballots were rejected due to the new requirement.
Here are 3 big things you need to know— One — The Justice Department wants a federal court to force Google to sell off its popular Chrome web browser as part of an antitrust case. The request made Wednesday comes after a court ruled that the company holds a monopoly in the online search market. Department lawyers say that spinning off Chrome, used on billions of devices around the world, would help prevent an illegal monopoly from happening again. Two ---- A Florida man is under arrest for allegedly plotting to bomb the New York Stock Exchange. Court documents say Harun Abdul-Malik Yener of Coral Springs wanted to "reset" the U.S. government. He was arrested Wednesday and charged with attempting to use an explosive device to damage or destroy a building used in interstate commerce. And number three — The race for the Michigan state House between incumbent Democrat Jim Haadsma and Republican challenger Steve Frisbie might get a recount. Frisbie won the election, but by just 61 votes as of yesterday. Haadsma's attorney Chris Trebilcock says a recount could be requested after the State Board of Canvassers certifies the state's vote count, which needs to be done by Monday.

Reid McCollum, Program Outreach Director for Progressive Turnout Project, joins Deepak Puri, CEO of The Democracy Labs, to discuss tactics for getting out the vote in swing states by paying canvassers. This approach to door-knocking is particularly effective in small towns where people from the community use technology to create walk lists to find likely Democratic voters. PTP will invest $35 million in programs to rally Democrats to vote through direct voter contact. The paid door-knocking program pays $125 for every completed list of 50-60 doors.

Today's show opens with yesterday's passage of the SAVE Act, putting in place preventative measures to keep illegals from voting in American elections. What's worthy of note is 198 Democrats decided they were more in support of illegals than they were in support of Americans. Once again, we have several soundbites about the upcoming election. Some of the designated members of the Democrat body politic, like Rep. Rishi Kumar (D-CA) who gets to use the term “bloodbath” when describing the upcoming defeat they will face if Biden stays in the race. Joe Scarborough evoked Lincoln's post-Civil War speech and likened it to letting the South win control of government if Trump wins. CNN wants us to know that if the people choose Trump in a landslide, that will jeopardize our democracy. It appears, the only way to save our democracy, in not to let the people decide for themselves in a free and fair election, but to have a select few people already in power make that decision for the rest of us. That's their version of “democracy.” Rep. James Comer (R-KY) has decided he wants to speak to the Triple A's who surround Joe Biden and keep him insulated and under total control. Annie Tomasini, Ashley Williams and Anthony Bernal have all received a letter informing them of being called to testify. Our Intelligence Community is dragging out the old “Russia, Russia, Russia” playbook again. They want us to believe Putin prefers Trump over Biden. Throwing her promised toddler-like tantrum, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has filed her article of impeachment against Justices Thomas and Alito. Their version of democracy also seems centered around the belief that they cannot allow anyone who affirms the Constitution to be kept in their roles. The Daily Show got a shock when a 6 person, all-black panel in New York City was split 50/50 in their support of Trump versus Biden. Those voting for trump cut across age ranges and generations. But the true test for Joe Biden today is his BIG BOY press conference. It is scheduled for around 5:30PM today. I'll will be watching with undivided attention and will bring the relevant moments to Friday's show. Sources behind the scenes are telling MSNBC and Politico that President Obama is behind the scenes, pushing to oust Joe Biden. It's not secret there is no love lost between the Biden's and the Obama's. But, make no mistake, Obama is going to get his way. In a turn of irony, SCOTUS Sotomayor, who dissenting against the idea that the Second Amendment was meant to protect a private right of armed self defense, found her bodyguard's in a shoot-out with a would-be carjacker. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has just signed into law the bill making it harder to request a recount over an allegation of fraud. The law strips the Board of Canvassers of its investigative authority. If you are going to cheat, might as well make it legal. But, in two somewhat related wins, the radical judge, Sarah Netburn, who is part of the woke, ‘what is a woman,' screwball culture was shot down for the Court of Appeals. And, Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) has her bill pass the House, blocking Joe Biden's radical Title IX rewrite. Take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media.

Two MAGA Republican Board of Canvassers in Delta County are refusing to certify the recent recall elections where three MAGA Board of Commissioners received a thumping. This prevents the one Democrat, and two independents, from taking their oaths, and serving the people. But this is a pattern by the right-wing in Michigan, and across the United States. Right-wingers are displaying their outright disdain for democracy, and the democratic process. They're also showing a disdain for the majority of people who simply don't like them, their values, and their policies.

Pat's got much to say about the shenanigans happening in Delta County this week! Just after three MAGA Delta County commissioners suffered humiliating recall election losses, two right-wing Board of Canvassers there refused to certify the elections! It's a pattern we've been seeing when it comes to right-wing Republicans, as we saw here in Michigan after the presidential election. It's part of the Christian Nationalist handbook where they believe God wants them always in power. They despise democracy. Pat also has some words for right-wing Livingston County Sheriff Mike Murphy. If you recall, Murphy steadfastly refused to enforce the new gun safety laws passed by Michigan Democrats last year, especially the new red-flag law. But thanks to excellent reporting from Bridge Michigan, Sheriff Murphy used the new red-flag law to confiscate weapons from a man suffering a mental health crisis. That's right! So, despite his ridiculous display of fake MAGA machoism, Murphy's realized that Democrats passed a common sense law designed to prevent further gun violence! Then, Michigan Democratic Party Rural Caucus Chair Mark Ludwig joins the show to talk about the work the Rural Caucus is doing to reach voters across the state of Michigan. Mr. Ludwig talks candidly on where Democrats are doing a better job, and where they aren't doing the best job, in attracting more rural voters to our side. Allowing Republicans to rule in rural communities must end, and people like Mark Ludwig are working to expand the Democrats' reach far beyond the more populated areas of the state. The "Last Call" covers a new survey showing how a majority of younger people are saying they won't live in states with harsh abortion restrictions. This vindicates Michigan Democrats' stance that enshrining abortion rights in our state constitution will help attract young people, and businesses, to the state.

Ted Blaszak joins The Great Battlefield podcast to talk about his career in politics and building Trailblazing Canvassers where they collect signatures to qualify candidates and ballot measures.
This has been a very very very very very bad week for Donald Trump … and Matt DePerno … and former Representative Daire Rendon … and the Michigan Republican Party. Spoiler alert: it's another week of our true-crime podcast. But for six state House Democrats who were targeted for recall It was a pretty good week with the state Board of Canvassers rejecting the proposed recall petitions (all of them ably represented by their lawyer, Mark Brewer!) The podcast was recorded minutes after Donald 'Jail-Adverse" Trump was arraigned for the third time this year on felony criminal charges. Joining the conversation as we mark a truly momentous moment in U.S. political history is longtime Trump critic Rick Wilson. A former member of the Republican Party, Rick has produced televised political commercials for governors, U.S. Senate candidates, Super PACs, and corporations. He left the Republican Party following the 2016 United States presidential election, and in late 2019 went on to co-found The Lincoln Project. In 2018, Rick released his first book, Everything Trump Touches Dies, in which he laments the re-alignment of the Republican Party behind Trump.

Read the transcript of this episode: https://therealnews.com/unite-here-union-canvassers-mobilize-ahead-of-georgia-runoff-electionsSenator Raphael Warnock is facing off against Republican challenger Herschel Walker after neither secured 50% of the vote during the Nov. 8 general election. UNITE HERE is aiming to hit more than 500,000 doors for Warnock, a pastor at Martin Luther King's former church. Walker is a former NFL star backed by ex-president Trump, and was the only statewide Republican candidate in Georgia to not win his race in the general. He is facing fresh accusations of domestic violence and is trailing in the latest polls.But it is widely expected for the race to be decided by election day turnout, which is what is driving these union members. Their recent track record gives them reason to be optimistic. In November, UNITE HERE played a key role in helping Democrats maintain their Senate majority. 1,200 members knocked on 2.7 million doors in key swing states, including, as The Real News reported, one million doors to help Democrats hold onto Nevada. A Warnock win will give Democrats an outright majority in the Senate.Pre-Production/Studio/Post-Production: Jaisal NoorHelp us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer: Donate: https://therealnews.com/donate-podSign up for our newsletter: https://therealnews.com/newsletter-podLike us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/therealnewsFollow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/therealnews

Heidi Przybyla has an enormously important and carefully reported article for POLITICO that just went live: “‘It's going to be an army': Tapes reveal GOP plan to contest elections” Przybyla obtained video recordings of GOP operatives assembling a disturbing multipronged network of party loyalists that could cause chaos on Election Day. She documents evidence of four different networks being created: 1. Poll workers steeped in 2020 election fraud conspiracy theories who are being trained to contest votes, especially in Democrat-heavy areas. 2. GOP lawyers who the poll workers can quickly connect with to document alleged voter fraud. 3. “Party-friendly district attorneys who could intervene to block vote counts at certain precincts.” 4. “Installing party loyalists on the Board of Canvassers, which is responsible for certifying the election, also appears to be part of the GOP strategy.” Subscribe to the POLITICO Playbook newsletter Raghu Manavalan is the Host of POLITICO's Playbook.
