I'd settle for getting lead out of tap water, before any Moon-related energy projects.

Nobody but the foxes guarding the hen house. But even then they've got the wrong bloody hen house.

Jared Wise is still a traitor, no matter what Trump says.

If only this were truly satire, but it cuts very close to the truth about ICE under Trump and Steven Miller.

This sounds good, but doesn't actually say anything. Democrats -- and Independents and sane conservatives -- need to DO THINGS to keep democracy and its promises alive. Please do more to explain HOW you will "continue to work" to protect the right to vote.

Another example of self-inflicted damage by the incredibly inept Trump administration.

Sounds like a vicious circle, James. Too bad so few of our political leaders -- worldwide, but particularly right now in the US -- paid no attention during science classes.

Don't worry, MAGA. The GOP will never let an investigation into bad practices by a major corporation move forward, unless said company annoys their Big Boss.

Who knew that scientific questions are now decided by what an average layman (person?) thinks?

Didn't happen under Biden or Obama.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good.

I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Time for a Butlerian Jihad.

Yeah. That's why I said for a time. .. Let's hope we can dial back the Trump years like a bad dream.

Only after the 1964 Voting Rights Act was the US truly a democracy. For a time...

Perhaps the Olympics should be moved elsewhere, or boycotted. Never forget, the Olympics' organizers were all too happy to hold the Games in Hitler's Germany in 1936.

In 2016, Ghislaine Maxwell falsely stated, under oath, that she was not aware that Jeffrey Epstein recruited underage girls for sex (you know, the ones she was actually recruiting on his behalf). She was charged with two counts of perjury for this.

Remind me why we give a shit what she says now?

"Claimed that," Forbes, in this instance means "lied" about. There's plenty of actual evidence to the contrary. Provided by doctors and scientists, and involving millions of saved lives.

Not just an associate. She was convicted.

Seems like a pretty good list for the USA as well.

What Kind of Men Are These? Spinelessness as a career choice

Men, and women too, who have sold their souls to Trump, but at what a cost.

What Kind of Men Are These?

Good.

Unfortunately, it took comments by an actor to get the media to look at what the heck was happening in the Biden White House. (I voted for Biden. That doesn't mean I liked how his reduced capabilities were handled by him, his family, and his minders.) Clooney was just a messenger.

Such old-fashioned thinking, James: Technology doesn't work that way anymore. Let's just wait and see if AI is a danger to humanity, for example. What could go wrong?

Maybe Trump's lawyers should be required to tell Murdoch's lawyers every time Trump takes a solo walk on the White House roof. Could be germane.

Love it. People -- liberal, conservative and in-between -- are getting tired of being lied to, by Trump, by his enablers, and by those Democrats who don't seem to understand what is happening to this country, and can't be bothered to find out.

Bezos and Will Lewis are intentionally ruining a once-great newspaper. A billionaire's version of arson.

Funhouse Mirror In a turn of events that would make Orwell blush and your high school math teacher weep, President Trump has fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), Erika McEntarfer, because the lates...

Thanks for clarifying.

People deserve the truth about Trump and Epstein.

Someone should inform the New York Times that something like 40% of Americans don't have $500 saved up to deal with a medical or other emergency.
