From this morning's Washington Post: "How Trump and his allies are sowing doubt ahead of the midterms A Post analysis found thousands of messages from right-wing influencers pushing new theories for why, if Democrats win, the elections can’t be trusted." Surprise!

It's a beautiful day here in Toronto. Skies are sunny; temp is 18 Celsius (64 Fahrenheit).

From this morning's Washington Post: "White House takes new swipes at press, blocking a reporter and threatening an outlet The moves mark the latest attempt by the White House to push back on coverage it dislikes by revoking access normally granted to members of the media." Look away, folks!

George F. Will in this evening's Washington Post: "The cascading absurdities of a downward-spiraling presidency Law-shredding, tariff-levying, money-dangling Trump tries to drum up Republican midterm votes."

Washington Post: What Trump’s whining about Fox News says about him Trump’s complaints are the latest sign of the wheels coming off his administration. "... when the president keeps whining that even Fox News is being unfair to him, his self-pity has hit an amazing new height."

The Washington Post: "U.S. officials privately advise states fearing Trump election meddling Their private efforts have reached governors, election stewards and lawmakers from both parties who are increasingly alarmed that the administration may interfere in the midterms."

Given the results of yesterday's Alberta referendum, the National Post is extremely bitter, hence 'stories' suddenly popping up... like this one: "Very much an open question: Carney's West Coast pipeline project could run into legal pitfalls" Who the hell is Jordan Gowling?

From this morning's Washington Post: "Trump approval hits record low, handing Democrats a clear midterm edge The president’s approval is at 33 percent, with 66 percent disapproving and just over half saying they disapprove strongly. Meanwhile, midterm support for Democrats is rising."

From this morning's Washington Post: "Trump says Ukraine should ‘get a new president’ after U.S.-Russia diesel deal Ukraine’s Zelensky 'wants to make problems for the world,' Trump said Saturday, a day after praising Russia’s Putin." Okay, folks, may the "just too easy" jokes begin!
