The Trump economy is being propped up by a giant speculative bubble of AI and crypto, with a small group of people getting insanely wealthy and everyone else getting screwed while the Mad King tells us everything is great and everyone is thriving.

To reinforce Senator Faruqi's point,
it was Coalition Senators who voted overwhelmingly for a 2018 motion "It's OK to be white"; a slogan with well-known white supremacist origins.

russia aims to capture all of Ukraine. This isn't just about a few eastern villages; it's existential.
They won't stop because of treaties.
Look at russian "peace deals": Helsinki (1975), Budapest (1994), Khasavyurt (1996), Minsk (2014, 2015).
