McSweeney goes - but Josh Simons in the frame over targeting journalists

Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

Laughed.
This is who we’re governed by, people entrusted to represent a nation, yet so insulated by power they respond to human suffering with indifference and mockery.

Because our politics is in such a terrible place, I think we downplay quite how awful Kemi Badenoch has been.
