Gutting the enforcement division, you say? Go ahead, rich people, crime all you want! Nobody’s going to be watching!

Trevor Noah was right. Trump really does want to be dictator of a third-world kleptocracy.

Clearly this deals with issues of discrimination, of privacy, of autonomy that have been laid out in dozens of previous SCOTUS decisions.

Unfortunately I suspect that the right wing majority will decide this on their own policy preferences and their own bigotry - just like they did in Dobbs.

New York Times: “The protests in front of the National Assembly are still going strong, and the chants have shifted. Now protesters are shouting ‘Arrest Yoon Suk Yeol!'”

See the financial scandals of Yoon Suk Yeol and his family are up to their necks in. Sound familiar?

Coming to a former Democracy near you.

They could take each province and make them states. Don’t think that will work out for Republicans

Old joke: Has anybody seen Elton’s new piano? Neither has he.

Poor old sod. Wish him nothing but the best.

Turkey moved from being the weakest of the power brokers in this region to the strongest player. It is still unclear what this means in tangible means and the way might be still very long, but is clear that the trajectory will be a different one. Russia and Iran along Assad are the biggest losers.

It’s the only known natural occurrence of a mineral that (as it happens) has also been synthesized. Many minerals are available as exact synthetics. Diamond is an example.

Not me, Zelensky.

Some ceasefire, with frozen conflict - similar to Korea. No real solution or peace treaty. That’s why the landmines.

Ah, so you’re the kind of guy that used to get cigarettes for the rest of the kids. Now you’re called an influenceter

Very impressed with this move on part of the Aussies. It’s not that they know something the rest of the world doesn’t, it’s just that they have the guts to do something about it

The house is really close. So much so that Republicans will have a one seat majority until April. The Republicans will have a 3 seat majority in the senate. IDT it’s anything to brag about and not a foregone conclusion for anything.

FFS. Google works just fine…

That particular agency was created by law, has a mandate, and is not part of the administration. Its creation by Congress as part of a compromise on an SEC restructure and receives budget as a set percentage of it. It’s purpose is to look out for consumers getting ripped off, such as bank fees. I remember it because it is Elizabeth Warren’s brainchild during the Clinton years. She was supposed to run it, but Republicans didn’t like her. So, she ran for Congress, won a senate seat, and they really don’t like her now.

That agency was created by congress and it will take congress to destroy it, no matter what President Musk says.
