This warning from David Letterman to the media from just a year ago feels sadly too relevant today. He is right: You can't appease a tyrant.

For 33 years, McConnell has voted against family and medical leave for working Americans. Then he disappears from the Senate for 92 days and keeps collecting his full paycheck. Apparently, paid leave is only a problem when someone else gets it.

Russians attacked an ambulance in Kherson, injuring 2 medics – Regional Military Administration. ​At around 4:25 PM in Kherson, Russian troops targeted an emergency medical services vehicle with a drone. The crew was in the middle of transporting a patient to a hospital at that time.

This is what Druzhkivka looks like today. Russians constantly strike it with glide bombs, destroying yet another town in the Donbas, the region they claimed they came to "liberate."

Jared Kushner is currently negotiating for the USA. How gifted is Jared at negotiating? In 2007, Jared bought an office tower at the top of the market, the most expensive single-building real estate purchase in NYC history. The market tanked in 2008, leaving his company over $1 billion in debt.

Two-thirds of NYC’s income growth since the pandemic went to the top 1%. The richest 0.001% — about 50 families — saw their average income soar from $315 million in 2019 to nearly $600 million a year. It’s time to build a city that works for everyone.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 93% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 34% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Jimmy Carter lost because underhanded Ronald Reagan told Iran that if they held the American hostages until after the presidential election (to make Carter look bad) Reagan would secretly sell arms to Iran. Reagan then used the money from Iran to illegally fund the Contras, a Nicaraguan rebel group.

¶19 in WSJ's latest on Trump's VZ oil deal (which focuses on how the "Department of War" will own part of it). www.wsj.com/business/ene...
Faced with an unpopular and grinding war with Iran, which has squeezed global energy supplies, the Trump administration felt a sense of urgency to announce it had secured a long-term source of crude in the Western Hemisphere, people involved in the talks said. Trump also sought a political win in portraying the Venezuela deal as a way to insulate Americans from the costs of the turmoil in the Middle East ahead of November’s midterm elections, they added.
