How, like in the name of all that is holy, are people still buying this Reaganomics bullshit. There's 40+ years of evidence now that it only makes CEOs richer. Guillotine time.

Instead of investigating the killings of American citizens in the street, the Justice Department is trying to argue we could have been nicer to Richard Nixon and his friends. I hate it here.

Vance on the economy: “We’re trying to fix what was broken over 40 years. Everything was not going to be fixed in 18 months.” In past 40 years, Republicans have held the Office for 20 years. Even someone with a moderate level of critical thought is going to ask why didn’t you fix it then?

I note that Pete Hegseth elides over when the United States went to war with white supremacists (the Civil War) and fascists (World War II). Probably has nothing to do with Pete Hegseth being both a white supremacist and a fascist, right?

GOP-controlled Georgia election board asks DOJ to declare state’s voting machines illegal
The request represents a major assault on the state's voting system by unelected state officials.

Dobropillia, in the Donetsk region. Russia swore these towns and their people needed to be "liberated." And so Russia came and liberated Donetsk towns, one by one, from their people, their homes, and life itself.

Carney highlights the Indigenous consultation done ahead of this decision to list a crude oil pipeline in the national interest. Which is interesting, because the National Chief of the AFN has explicitly said the major projects office “don’t know what they’re doing when it comes to First Nations.”
