Lisa Murkowski cuts a last minute deal solely to benefit Alaska, exempting it from some of the more odious parts of the bill to secure her vote and sell out the rest of the US. Yeah this stuff sucks and hurts a lot of people, but I got Alaskans exempted so the hell with you.

Meet Evan Anzoo, a five-year-old boy in South Sudan who died when Elon Musk shut down USAID and the boy lost access to his HIV meds. Musk says no one has died because of the aid shutdown, but that's because he didn't look. RIP, Evan, you deserved better. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Canadians are removing American liquor and California wines from their store shelves.
They’re pulling back on future visits to the U.S.
And they are uncharacteristically brandishing unvarnished anger over what they see as a betrayal by a longtime friend.

To the shock of absolutely no one, US ideology aligns with the far-right goals of Russia and Turkey.
How about becoming less Russia and more Norwegian?

![Screenshot of a X-Y graph, titled "The US right is now closer to Russia, Turkey and China in many of its values". The X axis is sorted -1.75 at left to +2.5 at right, with negative numbers indicating more liberal societies. The Y axis is sorted -2.5 at bottom to +2 at top, with positive numbers indicating more favor toward inter-country cooperation. In the bottom right quadrant near the far-right edge is an entry for the US Right, at roughly [+2, -1.5], indicating strongly illiberal and strongly anti-cooperation. Just below the US Right is Turkey. Just below Turkey is Russia. The only other country even close to the US Right is China.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:rgzw2gfpyanm42hqkxvewh7l/bafkreifgimpaa7z7dgkws5awqu4zi6ggjyw2ypl7zjyiaakbbx5mk2imam@jpeg)

So, Canadian fentanyl labs are the new immigrants eating pets, which was the new migrant caravan, which was the new Obamacare death panels, which was the new Iraqi weapons of mass destruction.
Sounds about right.
