When the Working Families Party was founded in 1998, the idea was to take advantage of the fusion law in New York that allows candidates to run on more than one ballot line.

MAGA Alberta’s latest attempt to sow division came in the form of a two-pronged assault.

A group of MAGA separatists met in Washington with “cabinet-level” officials about their plan to break up the country.
