MAGA allies push solar power to win over the GOP base

Conservative influencers Katie Miller and Kellyanne Conway are backing the American Energy First push by the American Clean Power Association to rebrand solar as a domestic, affordable energy solution for Trump voters.

Edmonton MP defects to Liberals, boosting party toward majority

Matt Jeneroux, the Conservative MP for Edmonton Riverbend since 2015, crossed to Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal caucus, giving the Liberals 169 seats and leaving them three short of a majority. The defection marks the third Conservative to switch sides in recent months, drawing criticism from opposition leader Pierre Poilievre about backroom deals. Jeneroux cited family discussions and Carney’s World Economic Forum remarks as influences and will serve as a special adviser on economic and security partnerships; the move follows two other defections and several parliamentary vacancies.

Carney gains a Liberal foothold as Conservative MP defects

Canada’s Liberal leader Mark Carney welcomes Edmonton MP Matt Jeneroux, who defected from the Conservatives, as a new special adviser on economic and security partnerships—the latest floor-crossing that narrows the Conservative caucus and advances the Liberals’ path to a potential majority. The defection, following other resignations, underscores Carney’s bid to woo centrist and disaffected voters and diversify trade away from the United States, even as Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre denounces the move. With several seats vacant and by-elections anticipated, a Liberal majority could pass bills without cross-party support, though the party remains three seats short of a true majority.

Kid Rock headlines TPUSA’s All-American Super Bowl halftime show as a conservative alternative

Kid Rock is set to headline Turning Point USA’s All-American Halftime Show during the Super Bowl, presenting a conservative alternative to Bad Bunny’s NFL performance. TPUSA’s lineup also includes Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice and Gabby Barrett, with organizers framing the event for people who love football, America, and Jesus. The decision has sparked conservative backlash to the NFL choice, and Franklin Graham said he’ll be watching TPUSA’s show while criticizing the main halftime act. The piece also notes resurfaced controversy over lyrics from Kid Rock’s 2001 song and that viewership for the TPUSA event remains unclear.
