I kind of regret that the beheader was captured so soon.

Don't get me wrong. I in no way wanted anymore violence to happen, but it seems that the story is pretty much being ignored and I find that quite troubling.

If he'd have hid out in the woods or something then we might have gotten more coverage of it and the stochastic terrorism that the GOP is stoking in the USA.

Trump $300M tax fraud/2

The trial of last autumn (2023) was brought by NY Attorney General Letitia James, where NY had investigated Trump business fraud for FIVE YEARS

The trial lasted 3 months. This new $48M ghost loan out of Chicago, with which Trump cheated on $300M in taxes, WAS NOT in court

UPDATE: Every single Florida Republican in this state house committee voted to give 18-year-olds AR-15s and repeal the law they passed after Parkland. Every Democrat OPPOSED.

That's what the Florida GOP is now-- a bunch of hard-right extremists following DeSantis off a cliff.

There is ample evidence that high school-aged people benefit and learning improves if the school days starts in the late morning, but few schools have adjusted their schedules to align with this finding.

The #settlers will not be allowed to send #money to the #UnitedStates or have anyone act on their behalf. The order also prevents any American from contributing money, goods or services to those sanctioned.

The financial #sanctions follow an announcement in early Dec restricting US #visas for people believed to have been involved in #settler #violence, as well as their immediate family members. Neither those restrictions, nor the sanctions announced on Wed affect the many US citizen settlers.

Sen #MittRomney (R),who supported previous #ChildTaxCredit expansions, called the new #legislation “excessive”& said it would turn into “another entitlement program which is massively expensive.”

Republicans: Fix the border crisis!

Also Republicans:

EVERY media mention of border deal being torpedoed by congressional Republicans needs to include this phrase at the end:

“Because Trump told them to.”

What’s for dinner tonight? White wine and (locally sourced) mushroom risotto.
