World & Nation | Coded messages, 'red boxing' and other allegations in California's testy race for governor by Seema Mehta AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Xavier Becerra’s 2026 California gubernatorial campaign has drawn attention for posting a “red‑boxed” webpage that outlines attack points against billionaire rival Tom Steyer and suggests messaging for independent‑expenditure committees, a tactic known as “red‑boxing” that lets campaigns signal preferred ads without directly coordinating with Super PACs. Legal experts say the practice skirts campaign‑finance rules that prohibit direct contact with outside spenders, noting that while it can invite fines, candidates often accept the risk in exchange for strategic gains. The move comes as Becerra, the former U.S. Health and Human Services secretary, has surged in the polls—tying Steyer at 13%—and is now a leading contender to replace term‑limited Gov. Gavin Newsom, prompting scrutiny of both the legality and morality of this increasingly common strategy in high‑stakes elections.

"This rightward drift is most noticeable in Carney’s redirection of public funds from social programs towards military contracts, and his welcoming approach to #BigOil. But it’s also evident in an extraordinary measure that #Carney seems to be trying to sneak into law. The measure — hidden deep inside the mammoth omnibus Bill C-15 currently before Parliament — would give cabinet ministers sweeping powers to allow corporations to escape government regulations." https://rabble.ca/columnists/while-resisting-trump-carney-is-giving-corporations-a-free-hand/ #cdnpoli

...and I do think those on the R side of the aisle would make EV ownership taxes punitive. They subsidize #OilyBoys, #BigOil, #truck_pickup & #SUV culture

Tony Blair’s oil lobbying is a misleading rehash of fossil fuel industry spin | Oil and gas companies | The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/feb/13/tony-blair-oil-lobbying-fossil-fuel-industry-renewables-energy-bills "The Tony Blair Institute for Global Change (TBI) received money from the Saudi government, has advised the United Arab Emirates petrostate, and counts as a main donor Larry Ellison, the founder of Oracle, friend of Trump and advocate of AI." #BigOil #FossilFuels #ClimateCrisis #TonyBlair #SaudiArabia

Morning, all, Celia Florez, Venezuela's dictator Maduro's wife, was also kidnapped by U.S. armed forces. Why? Is she, in the view of that notorious misogynist President Donald Tantrump, merely Maduro's chattel? As #FLOTUS, Melania Trump should be worried; when the U.S. military finally rises against #DOTUS Don Trumpeone, will she also be arrested and join him in the dock? #USpol #UNpol #GOP #MAGA #NoKings #BigOil #TyrantTrump https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/national-international/live-updates-venezuela-nicolas-maduro-new-york-court-appearance/

Denmark recognises the threat; why not UK PM Starmer? But Greenland has no oil, some say... But it does have minerals, especially Trump's famous "raw earths." #BBCWorldService: 80% of Venezuelans live in poverty, as Maduro et al profited from oil at their expense; so it's naive of ordinary Venezuelans to ask Don Trumpeone to run their country instead - if so, only US oligarchs will profit thereby. #GOP #MAGA #NoKings #NATOdemise #UNdemise #USpol #EUpol #UKpol #BigOil https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4g0zg974v1o
