Sen. Amy Klobuchar dined with Melissa Hortman, a Minnesota lawmaker and decades-long friend, just hours before she and her husband were shot and killed in what authorities are saying was a politically motivated killing.

“I wish everyone had known her like we knew her,” Klobuchar told POLITICO.

The brutal attack we withstood over the last 2 nights is nothing new. Russia has rained violence, torture, and atrocities on Ukrainians for centuries. As the walls and windows shook with each explosion, I did not feel afraid because there is something eternal about this flame I have chosen to hold.

US tariffs on China --> Less exports from China to US --> Less economic activity in China --> Less imports from Australia ---> weaker ASD --> Inflation

Dear Americans who voted for Trump, please make like a J and go FK yourselves.

Compared to the 1.5 Million hectares of Australia burnt in 2019, that's a rounding error.
after experiencing their worst drought on record, 30.86 hectaces of wilderness burned down in brazil last year
that’s an area larger than italy
and 79% increase from 2023

Waiting for the topic of Aussie HSR to magically reappear the instant the election is called...

waiting for Labour to point to the feasibility study they did...

waiting for the Coalition to point to the feasability study they did...

and hoping for a minority government.
