“We collectively request that the “Alberta’s #COVID19 #PandemicResponse” report by the Alberta COVID-19 Pandemic Data Review #TaskForce be officially dismissed for use as a source of information for both publicand provincial policy, as it inaccurately reflects the body of scientific evidence.

#AlbertaMedicalAssociation statement regarding the report of the #Alberta #COVID19 Pandemic Data Review #TaskForce
The provincial government has released a report regarding Alberta's response to the unprecedented and devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the report's release, many colleagues and experts have commented eloquently on the deficiencies and biases it presents. I fully agree with these concerns. (1/3)

#DonTheCon annouced today that if he wins the election, he'll appoint #ElonMusk to head a #TaskForce to find "Waste, Fraud & Abuse" in gov't.

Note, Musk's primary source of income right now is gov't contracts via SpaceX (having run Twitter & Tesla into the ground.)

T**** reported he got the idea during his "Interview" on X by Musk (during which the two laughed about firing anyone who dare threaten to Unionize... which is #CRIME), who volunteered himself for such a program,

#BritishColumbia #FirstNations are initiating an #emergency #salmon #TaskForce to investigate the impact on the #sockeye salmon due to last week’s #Chilcotin River #landslide.

“Chilcotin Rivers are kind of our identity,” Nits’ilʔin (Chief) Francis Laceese, Tl’esqox said at a press conference on Tuesday.

“Same with the salmon, you know, that’s basically who we are. That’s our biggest food source.”

#Tŝilhqotin National Government (TNG) is calling on all levels of government, downstream First Nations, the #PacificSalmonCommission, and other nations and states, especially #Alaskan #fisheries, to take all precautionary measures possible to conserve Tŝilhqot’in territory-bound salmon, and to immediately cease from fisheries that may impact these stocks, until the impacts from the landslide and breach are fully understood.

A massive landslide came down last Wednesday, damming the Chilcotin River, which leads into the #FraserRiver

House Speaker #MikeJohnson and Minority Leader #HakeemJeffries announce #bipartisan #TaskForce to investigate the #Trump #AssassinationAttempt

US election workers face thousands of threats – so why so few prosecutions?

The US Department of Justice circulated a memo to all federal prosecutors and FBI agents. There had been a “significant increase in the threat of violence against Americans who administer free and fair elections”, the memo said.
The increase in threats amounted to “a threat to democracy. We will promptly and vigorously prosecute offenders.”
The memo announced the formation of a new unit within the justice department, the #election #threats #taskforce.
Its job was to respond to a phenomenon that had barely existed before Trump unleashed his 2020 stolen election lie
– violent and abusive messages, including death threats, specifically targeting election officials and their families.
The taskforce was devised as a crack multi-disciplinary team bringing together experts from across the justice department and linking them with local FBI and US attorney offices.
Its mission: to protect election officials from the intimidation let loose by Trump, by coming down hard on perpetrators.

As the November presidential election fast approaches, the taskforce faces its greatest challenge. With Trump back on the ballot, and with swing states such as Arizona continuing to be roiled by election denial, the federal unit is at the frontlines of what promises to be a combustible election year.
Much is riding on it.
The #Brennan #Center, a non-partisan law and policy institute, has estimated that since 2020, three election officials have quit their jobs on average every two days
– that’s equivalent to about one in five of those who run US elections nationwide bowing out in the face of toxic hostility.

So, asking again:

why so few prosecutions?
