An addled president is shredding the Constitution to usher in white nationalism and fascism while destroying the economy and our health care, so if you’re going to write an alarmist op-ed because a mayoral candidate might open five (5) city-run grocery stores, you can kindly get bent.

There are many reasons we're here in fascism, but one of the biggest is that nearly all members of the media have spent the last ten years not asking Donald Trump a follow-up question.

Absolutely. It won't win them a single voter from the Reform camp. Instead it will lose them votes on the left and - much more importantly - will continue to make life miserable for millions of innocent people. Stupid and vile. But that's Starmer's "Labour" for you.

Not surprised in the least but similarly depressed and disgusted by Keir Starmer's and "Labour"'s insistence on blowing into the far-right/nativist/racist dog whistle when it comes to immigration policy. They are despicable cowards and bigots.

To see why destroying the US science enterprise is so detrimental to the world, we have to realize that the US spends more on research and development than any other country in the world (by far), and if we remove China and Japan, the US spends almost as much as ALL other countries combined.
Bar graph titled "Top 20 Countries by Research and Development Spending." The United States leads significantly in spending, followed by China, Japan, and Germany. Other countries include the United Kingdom, South Korea, France, and Australia, among others.
