Clarksville — it seems the best Republicans can do to attack House candidate Allie Phillips is say she thought about moving closer to Nashville when she was struggling… wild since it’s an open secret Speaker Sexton lives in Nashville, not Crossville😬 www.facebook.com/share/1L5YLB...

In books: Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor identify religious extremists, the tech elites, and ethno-fascists as “end time fascists.” What they have in common is that they believe they will be the “chosen ones” in the apocalypse that they are accelerating.

Klein and co-author Astra Taylor’s new book is too bleak and unfocused for our shameless and sharp-edged political moment.

The story of the bosses' revolt comes down to their experience, in 2020, of helplessly watching the labor-income line go up — and resolving, right then and there, to make sure that never happened again.

I was deputy M.E. at the WSJ when Murdoch took over, with a similar “editorial independence board.” Within 4 months, our top editor was gone, replaced by a loyal Murdoch deputy. That board raised a quivering objection, but the deed was done. If the Ellisons own CNN, they’ll do whatever they want.

You cannot say you cared about the victim if you would have enjoyed destroying their lives before they were killed and even now would ruin the lives of the people who they loved. Sorry. You don't get to speak on behalf of victims whom you want to purge from our nation.

Immigrants receive about half as much disability income as the average US-born citizen, which means that disabled immigrants are receiving significantly less disability income than the US-born disabled population.
