Watch this. Then remember that the president doesn’t care. He cares that his old ass gets richer in the hand full of years he may have left.

And his sick rich friends. The most corrupt evil man to ever serve as president is ignoring real evil

If you make a billion dollars β€” or $500 million or even $100 million dollars β€” and you keep trying to make more, then there is something seriously wrong with you. It's a mental illness akin to hoarding or drug addiction.

EU agrees to indefinitely immobilise €210 billion of Russian assets The EU has decided to keep the assets of the Russian Central Bank immobilised for the foreseeable future. The ban, which is based on a provision for economic emergencies, pushes back against external ...

The EU triggers emergency powers (under Art 122) to permanently immobilize Russian assets to help rebuild what Russia destroyed.

This is European sovereignty in action.

I’ve heard from immigration attorneys that clients say ICE guards lay out the WRAP device (essentially a full-body straitjacket) on the tarmac as a threat β€” β€œdo what we say or you’re getting the WRAP on the whole flight.”

I think it’s also true that loneliness among women has historically been treated as an individual problem, while loneliness among men is treated as a societal problem. That, in turn, comes from an assumption that women are supposed to earn the company of others while men are entitled to it.

Ninety church leaders from across Europe have condemned the ideology of the β€œRussian World,” declaring it heretical.

The statement by Conference of European Churches directly addresses how the Russian Orthodox Church weaponizes theology:

Whitehouse: Not only were the founders extremely interested in checks and balances but they were desperately concerned about corruption.

This Court has consistently taken the side of corruption against every device Congress has created to fight political corruption.

If telling troops they must disobey unlawful orders is sedition, you’re gonna have to hang all the military academy instructors, boot camp drill instructors and training manual authors, along with every member of congress that authorized the UCMJ by voting yes on the most recent NDAA.

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.

Getting big money out of politics.

Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages.

If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

I don’t know how else to say it…

"Rachael Reeves’s budget means ... we’ll continue to have less disposable income than we did 20 years ago."

Why is it suddenly Labour's fault? Didn't you notice the 18.5 years of less disposable income BEFORE she delivered her budget? You know: the shit economy your mates delivered? Pricks.
