We inherited” is the new “but her emails.” They take responsibility for nothing. Who deported workers in the food production industry? Who imposed massive tariffs on finished goods, agricultural products. and raw materials? Who promised to lower prices “on day one”?

It's ONLY been 65 years since six year old Ruby Bridges walked through the halls of William Frantz Elementary as the first Black child to attend an all white school. Met with mobs and hate, her bravery and courage helped change the course of history for this nation.

So Pakistan is *paying* Qatar to *not* deliver LNG because even including this penalty payment their solar PV and battery spending is much better value for money and saves them billions.

Supreme Court denies the Christian Nationalist assault on marriage equality and tells Kim Davis (the Kentucky bigot) and her attorneys, the Christian Nationalist legal outfit Liberty Counsel, to pound sand.

Marriage equality is safe for now.

Trump pardoned his associates who tried to help him overturn the 2020 election.

He pardoned 1500 people who tried to violently overthrow our government on January 6th.

Trump is proving that he’ll pardon anyone for any crimes they help him commit.

Complete lawlessness.

I beg to differ. This is curated failure.

When the Democrats lose an election, they debate endlessly how they can appeal to more voters. When Republicans lose an election, they think of ways to keep more people from voting.
