Not New Zealand being a pilot programme for the US?!!
It’s not going well, would advise to not take this course of action.

So putting millions of federally employed Americans out of work with spiking costs of **everything** is the big plan?

I don’t buy the idea that the Gaza comments are designed to distract us from the coup. Because not long ago the same people said that the coup comments were designed to distract us from something else. He is chaotic *and* corrupt. There is no pattern or plan. Nothing is impossible.

I've just created this. This is where I think we are now, and why I am very pessimistic that we will fix the #ClimateCrisis
Hopefully someone can explain why I'm wrong.

ONLY AN ABSOLUTE HORROR OF A HUMAN BEING WOULD DO THIS…
Republicans slashed $200 million for childhood cancer research—a program created with bipartisan support under Obama—from the CR bill.
Why? Because Elon Musk told them to.

At times like this, it’s just so obvious that the media thinks we’re all stupid and their little play-act of “responsible punditry” in which they shame Democrats WHILE EMPOWERING A FUCKING DICTATOR makes them seem balanced when it in fact makes them complicit.

To *nobody’s surprise, it seems that having a healthier population is also good economic policy. Who’d a thunk?
*I may need to exclude the current government members who seem to have not only no discernible compassion or common sense but also the economic savvy of a very unsavvy potato.

Dems need to take a strong stand for background checks. It is certain absence of such checks will open door to major future scandal, damage.

Repeatedly wrong despite easy access to correct info crosses over into lying.
Sen. Tuberville is lying, helping Russia against the US and allies.
He’s not just lying about the number, but also that the US sends Ukraine money rather than equipment. Money for replacements mostly goes to Americans.

It's genuinely odd for a sitting US senator to be this wrong about such an important foreign policy issue.

Love this story so much and it gets better every year.
I needed to see this, maybe you do too.
Everyone needs a friend like this in their lives. An update on the Grandma who accidentally invited teen to Thanksgiving dinner celebrates 8 years of a beautiful friendship.
“You’re not my grandma, but can I still get a plate tho?”

Raising transit fares creates two devastating feedback loops: Riders switch to cars (increasing congestion & slowing buses) while lower ridership forces service cuts. Both lead to fewer passengers & less revenue. I've taught this for more than a decade - policymakers still haven't learned.

Wellington says PT fares will jump 71% if plans afoot go through. Simeon cries foul at “made up number” while they lob fake blow out numbers for Dunedin hospital as an excuse to cut back building what was promised. Hahaha. They don’t like it when the tables are turned.
