‘Utter hypocrisy’: tobacco firm lobbied against rules in Africa that are law in UK
British American Tobacco pushed Zambian ministers to drop or delay ad bans, health warnings and restrictions on flavoured products, letter shows

Next week we're releasing a major update of the Pacific Institute's Water Conflict Chronology -- the best open-source database on violence over water resources.
The news isn't good.
Any journalists interested in getting embargoed info prior to the release, reach out to me.

There are literally no decent republicans

Democrats should hold a press conference and announce that if Mike Johnson has no interest in running the House they'd be happy to do it for him

It has been said before, but it bears repeating: the elderly who’ve worked their entire lives to get $800 a month on Social Security aren’t bankrupting America. It’s tax-evading billionaires like Trump who are bleeding this country dry.
