Those tax cuts will disproportionately benefit wealthy Americans and big corporations.

I wouldn't worry about America refusing to share its intelligence. On the current evidence, I'd say that was a win for us all.

You have to admit that going up against propositions that are true by definition is a bold intellectual move.

Iceland looks like it may rejoin the EU and has announced a referendum. Here is what I believe is the authoritative account on it so far. Enjoy! 👇

Is Iceland getting ready to join the EU?
A new change in Iceland’s government means that joining the EU is back on the cards for Iceland.

Since 2016, there have been 3 elections, 6 PMs, and 4 different Brexit deals, none of which the Brexiters like.
Yet the same Brexiters who said voting on those deals would break democracy, want another election, because they don't like the result of the one 4 months ago.
These people are toddlers.
