@thanedar.house.gov, thank you for being willing to stand up for human rights, even if some of your party isn’t willing to stand beside you.
This is the kind of leadership we’re looking for - Representatives that will hold Trump’s regime responsible for actual murder.

During the latest US–Russia talks, the head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund Kirill Dmitriev joined Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff in the Kremlin. Their presence underscores how Moscow is leveraging business channels to draw the Trump administration toward its stance, as I told The World.

With all this pipeline discussion, I keep wondering: why doesn’t Canada have more solar farms?
I know winters can be problematic, but there’s a ton of sunshine in the summer.
Isn’t this what battery storage is for?
What do I not understand?
And no, I don’t want to ask ChatGPT.

Anther good reason to never give either one any of your money.
Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.
See the problem?
