The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.
Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it.

Fentanyl. Drug Overdoses, including Fentanyl, are not even in the top 20 causes of death in the USA. Cancer, Diabetes, Covid, Heart Disease all in the top 10, and all have had their research funding cut. They aren't murdering just Venezuelans. However they are killing us much slower.

Kemi Badenoch performatively pretending not to understand that the OBR leak had absolutely nothing to do with Rachel Reeves because she has calculated that enough people are paying little enough attention that she can get away with it as an attack line. She really is a deeply contemptible person.

The OBR is run independently from Government. It literally was somebody else's fault.
