There is a reason why Witkoff did not want any officials with the State Dept or anyone else present during his many meetings w/Putin - he didn’t want witnesses to his treasonous behavior. Highly unusual, but makes perfect sense when you consider that he only cared about Russia.

“The JAG at Southern Command specifically expressed concern that strikes against people on boats in the Caribbean Sea and the eastern Pacific Ocean…could amount to extrajudicial killings, the six sources said, and therefore legally expose service members involved in the operations.”

This is how you lift people out of poverty and reduce costs to the taxpayers. Make employers pay a living wage instead of them letting the govt subsidise poverty wages.
Companies make the profits and shareholders benefit,the workers should benefit too.
Minimum wage is to rise at above inflation rates from next April.

The standard rate will rise 4.1%, 8.5% for the 18-20 age group & 6% for 16-17.

This is a further step towards equalising the rates.

Inflation is currently 3.6% and is expected to fall further in the coming months...

Heathrow expansion

I think people need to be reminded that the Heathrow expansion and the associated work to the M25 is being entirely privately funded by the owners of Heathrow Airport.

It is not being funded by the government.

I wonder if the wide mouthed frog will sue, or claim these comments weren't meant in a hurtful way. I suspect the latter. No way will he risk a court appearance.

Rumors are circulating...and reported on MSNOW that Pete Hegseth has been pulled OUT of any negotiations regarding Ukraine.

He is unprofessional, unqualified...and frankly...a laughing stock.

I would not be at all surprised. Nor would I be surprised if he was fired...eventually.

You?

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business.

The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay.

It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders.

Textbook corporate greed.

Update: The US National Debt has now surpassed $39 trillion. It was $36 trillion when Trump took office earlier this year. Trump’s tariff manipulation has also nearly wiped out entire industries across the United States, countless now unemployed.
The official statement from the MAGA White House as the US hits a rapidly increasing all-time high $38 trillion national debt, is:

“At this moment in time, the ballroom is really the president's main priority.”

Renewables routinely generate more than half of U.K electricity.

They also generate thousands of jobs, reduce our exposure to volatile gas prices, and allow us to stick two fingers up to fossil-fueled dictators.

A baby died of whooping cough in Kentucky… it’s the third child death from the disease in the past 12 months.

Measles and whooping cough are highly preventable with vaccination.

Sadly none of the children or their mothers were vaccinated.

The volume of water needed to cool the servers in data centers has become a nationwide resource issue.

Volume isn’t the most pressing problem in Morrow County, however. The issue is pollution, which Amazon’s data centers have exacerbated since its arrival.
