Schumer and his ilk are the reason Republicans can claim they're the party of working people and get away with it.
Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis
For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare
We will keep fighting

Who could have foreseen placing the slow, unreliable and unfriendly automated passport control on the other side of an improved bag scanning process would result in a mess.
It’s like Australia looks at things that work and says, “Nah. Not for us.”

$12bn in three months for what? A monumental amount of slop, huge power draw and little of use or consequence to justify it.
Late capitalism is accelerating.

ICYMI: Microsoft’s charge “implies a more than $12 billion quarterly loss at OpenAI, said Firoz Valliji, an analyst at Bernstein.”
That “would mark one of the largest single-quarter losses for a tech company in history.”

I love this Graun story. The sheer pleasure the writer clearly enjoyed not having to call that moron Prince Andrew is palpable.
Also interesting is that the Graun style guide does not capitalise "the king."

Tesla's board is something else. It's one thing for Musk to demand that kind of money, it's another for the board to think that's in the interests of the company, whether he gets them to the target or not.

EV sales in Europe are up 25 percent year-on-year.
What happened to "EV sales are cratering" stories?
Dunno, but stuff like the Renault 5 and a few other (more) affordable EVs is starting to make a mark, I reckon.

Suddenly acutely aware Mossad may have cloned my passport details because I was asked for my Israeli passport when I checked in at Bologna the other day.
I mean, unlikely but my memory just jogged about people having their identities stolen for Mossad agents.

Seriously, though, is the name "Sea Devil" racist for a Doctor Who monster? They've been renamed Homo aqua for the new spin-off series and...um.

Some of you here may remember an entertainingly fiery exchange I had with a mildly right-wing radio personality from Adelaide a couple of years ago. He'd asked why "young people were getting in to socialism" and what started was me suggesting that people like a lot of socialist-leaning ideas...
