Trump has denied disaster relief for Illinois following severe storms in August. Trump approved a request from Indiana for damage resulting from the same storms. One is a "blue state." The other is a "red state." No other president has politicized natural disasters the way that Trump has.

Trump knows Putin pulled out all the stops to help get him elected both times, particularly in 2016. So yes he feels completely indebted to him & reluctant to do anything to go against Putin

it's a bit concerning that instead of responding to obvious political incentives and moderating on some of their worst and most unpopular policies, the Trump administration is getting more and more extreme

What we're seeing over the past couple weeks which will continue unabated through midterms is GOP & DJT engaging in rapid-fire greatest hits compilations of hot button culture war issues designed to motivate MAGA to vote for them, despite MAGA feeling angry, demoralized & confused by their bullshit.

22 California billionaires have spent a combined $150 million so far to defeat Prop 40. By spending their fortunes trying to stop California from taxing billionaires, they're making the argument for a billionaire wealth tax more clearly and articulately than anyone else possibly could.

Both Trump & Putin know it's probably now or never if the the GOP lose the mid terms badly. If Trump is going to help Putin then he has to do it now or almost certainly have any decision blocked by a Dem controlled Congress

Buying Russian diesel will not moderate global diesel prices substantially (for obvious reasons). Also, for example, China and India produce more diesel than Russia. Russia was the one choice where buying the diesel violates our sanctions and undermines our national interests/Ukraine security.

You do everyone a disservice by framing DOGE as a legitimate cost reduction activity. The theft of information, destruction of institutional expertise and capability, and the attempts to evade any form of oversight were all clearly visible and indicative of the real motivation. Try to be honest.

Exactly that. Productivity has increased enormously over the decades, I've not seen any business owners paying people 5 days wages to work 3 days, or giving away their products to people. If AI makes companies much more profitable then it's the owners that will pocket that extra profit, no one else

More populist tosh from the TUC. There was no "tax break for the banks". The 8% bank surcharge was created to offset the corporation tax cut from 28% to 20%. So, when corporation tax then went up 5% to its current level, the surcharge went down 5%. Not a tax break.

Very true & it does only apply to a small % of people. Plus there's always the clever operators like Dyson & Clarkson who try to use the system to avoid paying it at all.

The USA is in severe danger of becoming a worse state morally than the states it professes to hate. The idea should be that "We're not like that, we're better - & we'll demonstrate how better we are", not "We can do hate & retribution even more aggressively than they can"
