President Obama: Virginia, you deserve a governor who will think for herself and work for you, who will create jobs and not cut them, lower costs instead of raise them, bring people together instead of dividing them, and who will do what's right. You deserve a governor like Abigail Spanberger.

In 1941, thinking about acquiescence to Hitler, FDR quoted Ben Franklin: “Those, who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” It’s a message for the billionaires & others capitulating to Trump.

China added as much solar PV capacity (256 GW) in just the first half of this year as the US installed in all of its solar history.
China's speed of adding new capacity was already 14 times higher than that in the US, and China is speeding up while the US is slowing down.

This is crucial: UK & allies need weapons & tactics for this new kind of warfare. Ukraine now has more to teach us than to learn from us - a reversal of the situation in 2022.

The drone-dominated, cyber-riddled Ukrainian front line is the future of warfare. Any new equipment which doesn’t take account of this will be obsolete before it comes off the production line. We have much need of Ukraine’s experience of fighting Russia to keep Britain safe in this new world. End

"In 1938 it also seemed to many people that nothing could be done militarily and the Czech cause was lost, but in reality there was an opportunity to pin down German forces in Alsace, giving the Czechs a fighting chance." Lesson not learnt.

A real European peace plan would be one that reduces Putin’s strength at home or in Ukraine, forcing him to change his calculations.

When we look at this massacre and many more perpetrated by the RSF, let's be clear who funds, equips & sustains them. It's the UAE. Yes, the same UAE that might own your football club, fly you on your holidays, invests in our national infrastructure. If boycotts work, we should be boycotting now.

I added pics from MAL party last night to Johnson’s statement

Speaker Mike Johnson tweeted

The American people are blessed to have a President who is fully committed to their safety and well-being — even when Senate Democrats so callously abandon them.

Donald J. Trump tweeted

Our Government lawyers do not think we have the legal authority to pay SNAP with certain monies we have available, and now two Courts have issued conflicting opinions on what we can and cannot do. I do NOT want Americans to go hungry just because the Radical Democrats refuse to do the right thing and REOPEN THE GOVERNMENT. Therefore, I have instructed our lawyers to ask the Court to clarify how we can legally fund SNAP as soon as possible. It is already delayed enough due to the Democrats keeping the Government closed through the monthly payment date and, even if we get immediate guidance, it will unfortunately be delayed while States get the money out. If we are given the appropriate legal direction by the Court, it will BE MY HONOR to provide the funding, just like I did with Military and Law Enforcement Pay. The Democrats should quit this charade where they hurt people for their own political reasons, and immediately REOPEN THE GOVERNMENT. If you use SNAP benefits, call the Senate Democrats, and tell them to reopen the Government, NOW! Here is Cryin' Chuck Schumer's Office Number: (202) 224-6542

The US is the purple line bottoming out. Our economy may still roar, but we’re killing ourselves. Hoarding wealth, refusing to even ensure our kids have enough to eat. That line is an indictment. It reflects our warped values.

This graph never fails to be shocking: "The US has experienced the earliest and greatest slowdown in life expectancy improvements among higher-income countries, reported Eileen Crimmins. “We have horrible life expectancy—and it’s getting worse and worse”"

www.prb.org/resources/se...

Graph showing life expectancy trends in 23 higher income countries between 1980 and 2024. Life expectancy increased over time in all countries. In 1980, the US is in the middle of the pack, but their life expectancy gains were slower than that of other countries, and by around 2002, the US had the lowest life expectancy of all countries. Over the next 20 years, US life expectancy increasingly tracks away from the trajectories of other countries, as their life expectancy stalls while other countries life expectancy continues to climb
