It says a lot about our country that the FBI had no interest in interviewing Brett Kavanaugh but wants to talk to Mark Kelly.

Kevin Maguire on scrapping the 2 child benefit cap: "It is better for the country.. they'll do better at school & they'll become more productive adults in later years"
Kevin is right, child poverty impacts on economic chances in later life (it also affects health outcomes too)

Russian asset Ron Johnson says there’s no money to give Americans $2K inflation checks. But there is money for a despot’s $250M ballroom and enough to give $40B to Argentina’s dictator.
I’ll always remember Ron paying Putin a visit in Moscow on July 4th weekend in 2018.

Electric bills are up 11% this year, and shutoffs are spiking across the country.
At the same time, corporations are building hundreds of energy-hungry data centers, and working families are being forced to absorb the cost. Higher bills for us, higher profits for them. seiu.co/3M71usW

More Americans are getting their power shut off, as unpaid bills pile up
Average electricity costs have risen 11 percent since January, more than three times the rate of inflation.

Take pride in our fellow American, Sen. Mark Kelly, vigorously standing up for the Constitution and against a violence-inciting White House occupant who is failing to intimidate this good man and honorable public servant.
Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."

It's blatant vindictive prosecution and everyone involved from Halligan to Bondi to Trump need to be sued.
“This case presents the unique, if not unprecedented, situation where an unconstitutionally appointed prosecutor, exercising ‘power [she] did not lawfully possess,’ acted alone in conducting a grand jury proceeding & securing an indictment,” Judge Currie wrote about the Comey & James cases.

This is going to ring true to this guy’s idiot fan base because it’s largely true. Timing may not make any difference to the allegations but it’s true we are now getting a very late, very isolated bout of Noticing Things that could and should have been noticed many years earlier.

Apparently it’s a crime to remind military members to follow the law and refuse illegal orders (something that it is ingrained in basic) and the pentagon can recall you into the service to discipline you. However, the pentagon will not prosecute you for dodging the draft five times.

Data centers are important for many reasons BUT consumers should NOT have to pay higher bills to facilitate the huge amounts of electricity they eat up.
The richest companies on the planet are building these centers and they should bear the costs — not you.
