Like the Koch brothers and other conservative billionaires, Dunn and Wilks want to slash regulations and taxes.
Their endgame, however, is more radical: not just to limit the government but also to steer it toward Christian rule.

If this rendition of a (yes, truly awful but many are) President thing is all about protecting the people of Venezuela why didn’t Trump invade Sudan where things are currently really bad for people?

Well as they say even a stopped clock is right twice a day
Marine Le Pen, the longtime leader of the French far-right, has commented on the US military operation on Venezuela, saying that "the sovereignty of states is never negotiable, regardless of their size, their power, or their continent."

Someone made $400K by predicting Maduro's capture. Here's what happened
The winnings come as the rules governing prediction markets are still evolving.

Maduro is a brutal and oppressive dictator of Venezuela.
Trump has no legitimate legal basis for military action against Venezuela under United States or international law.
Both of those facts are simultaneously true.

Whatever you might think of Maduro, the seizure and kidnapping of a head of state takes us to a very dark place. Vast, arbitrary, extra-legal power, which could be exercised almost anywhere, regardless of the character of the target government.

Linked to this I find it alarming that most of the young people I work with use co-pilot to draft their emails. I worry we are training an entire generation of people to lose the inability to think for themselves

This is extremely disturbing. The US is heading to a dark place and I think European countries need to wake up and realise it is no longer our friend
Five regulators and researchers who work to tackle disinformation and abuse on the internet were barred from entering the U.S. after Secretary of State Marco Rubio labeled them “radical activists” who undercut free speech.

behaviour of some Peers deeply distressing. just met with people directly affected - those dying & those who have watched family die.
This is no longer genuine scrutiny & attempts to improve. Denying dying people right to travel, exempting anyone with a family member who has a fraud conviction. 😡

The message is clear: scrutiny, not sabotage.

On the plus side, Nick Clegg's house in California looked terrific.
Meta was aware that millions of adult strangers were contacting minors on its sites; that its products exacerbated mental health issues in teens; and that content related to eating disorders, suicide, and child sexual abuse was frequently detected, yet rarely removed.

What fresh hell is this? You think people travelling to the UK on a dinghy to claim £50 a week have tonnes of assets? Enough of this right wing rhetoric. This Government can get in the bin.
Govt minister Alex Norris is asked if the govt will take jewellery from people [fleeing war and persecution]. Norris says the govt won't be taking peoples wedding rings but they will seize assets.

Get these penguins out of that hellhole. We wouldn’t put humans in a basement for 14 years so why do we think it is ok to put animals in such conditions?
Dozens of British lawmakers have called for the release of 15 penguins “trapped” at a London aquarium without access to daylight or fresh air, saying their living conditions are “utterly unacceptable.” https://cnn.it/4p3q5Nv
