The Democratic Party is terrified of even small liberal reforms and will not abide left leaning democrats thwarting their plans for austerity and neoliberal orthodoxy.

Microsoft got $19 billion in tax breaks from Trump.
It pays a lower federal income tax rate than a teacher.
It’s spending $60 billion on stock buybacks.
Its CEO made $90 million last year.
“Corporations will create jobs if they get tax breaks” is a total scam.

It’s not a “stereotype” to note Sacks is spending millions to influence elections and he, at the height of a genocide, took to the Tribune to defend and pledged to continue funding the lobby primarily tasked with promoting said genocide. There is no “stereotype” for this

This is completely correct. The demolition decisions are being exclusively made by the value of the potential real estate.

🇨🇺 Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez confronted US Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz at the podium and called him "a liar" during Tuesday's General Assembly debate on Washington's decades-long embargo of Cuba, as a US oil blockade strangles the island.
Since February, the US has intercepted tankers bound for Cuba, cutting off the fuel that runs its power plants, water pumps and hospitals. Blackouts have stretched to 22 hours a day. By June, food production had fallen about 60%, medicine supplies had dropped to roughly 30% of normal and infant mortality had risen significantly, according to the UN human rights office.
Waltz blamed Cuba's government for the crisis and accused Fidel Castro of sending gay people, Christians and Afro-Cubans to concentration camps, EFE reported. As the Cuban delegation banged on tables, Waltz shouted: "Back away! Do you understand who you're dealing with? This is the United States of America. Back up."
Rodríguez accused Waltz of "lying shamelessly" and attacking "the dignity of the Cuban people," as General Assembly President Khalilur Rahman threatened to suspend the session.
The Assembly is set to vote on its annual resolution condemning the U.S. embargo this week.

El gobierno de EEUU miente de forma grosera y permanente en la Asamblea General de @ONU_es.
Su Representante Permanente en Naciones Unidas, con su prepotencia y soberbia, olvida que se encuentra en Naciones Unidas, no está en el Consejo de Seguridad Nacional de EEUU ni en una unidad de boinas verdes ni en un grupo de Signal, donde ha mostrado reiteradamente su incompetencia e incapacidad.
El gobierno de EEUU, con sus burdas mentiras en la Asamblea General de Naciones Unidas, lanzó un nuevo intento desesperado por justificar la agresión económica contra Cuba y su criminal cerco energético. Sus declaraciones de hoy forman parte del circo mediático, de amenazas y de campaña electoral, al que el gobierno estadounidense dedica cuantiosos recursos económicos y humanos.
No hay pretexto para sostener el acto de castigo colectivo al que someten al pueblo cubano.

Jillian Segal says she does not have to be truthful during the antisemitism RC - just reflect the views of the Jewish community. Even when blatantly false. Christ on a bike this woman is dangarous.

This is why you apply pressure to and hold politicians accountable even if you support them. It’s your responsibility.

“It did not meet the criteria for a sole source procurement, so we are moving to an open, competitive procurement process”

I'm just glad I don't live in a dictatorship but a free democracy where every few years I can vote for a different banker or lawyer or landlord that represents the vast network of powerful corporate interests that controls every aspect of my life from cradle to grave

"[The hospitalized adult patients in Pennsylvania] are weak and disoriented with meningitis, sepsis or pneumonia.
Some have bacterial infections in their blood, kidney failure or hepatitis..
Pennsylvania’s measles outbreak is defying epidemiologists’ expectations and historical trends: Adults account for about two-thirds of the 1,300 cases reported by the state..
Until now, measles was rarely seen among adults..
Pennsylvania’s outbreak is also sending people to the hospital at almost twice the rate seen in other recent outbreaks.
Six people diagnosed with measles — four of them adults — have died, according to state health officials and local coroners.
An infant, born with the disease after his mother was sick during pregnancy, was among the deaths..
The toll showcases how adults over age 20 are among the groups at greatest risk for serious complications..
Children under 5 and people with compromised immune systems are also at high risk for severe illness.."
I believe the number of immunocompromized adults is increasing.
'Measles is thought of as a childhood illness, but more Pennsylvania adults are getting sick'

O Presidente falou e não disse nada. A luta pela habitação segue. Em Lisboa, junto ao Parlamento, e no Porto, na Praça D. João I. A lei das rendas sem limites e dos despejos selvagens tem de cair. E outras regras, que protejam as casas da especulação, têm de nascer.

What happened to "close the borders to foreign criminals"?
I can confirm that @FlavioBolsonaro is no longer in Brazil and is on his way to the United States.
A US protective operation is underway to ensure his safety.

Hey @Meta 👋We are currently hosting a get-out-the-vote rally in Osceola County, home to a large Puerto Rican community, and our #LatinosConAngie @instagram page was suddenly taken down while we were actively posting content from the event.
This page is a critical communication tool for reaching Latino voters and mobilizing our community. With just seven days until Election Day, every minute matters.
We are calling on Meta to immediately restore the page and provide an explanation for its removal. Voters deserve access to critical election information, especially in these final days. @andymstone
