Joe Manchin (D-WV) announced his opposition to the bill. The bill would have funded the expanded child tax credit, which Manchin specifically opposed due to its lack of work requirements. Now, following the State of the Union address, the White House is hoping to revive the legislation in some form... read more

DeSANTIS'S SURGEON GENERAL: TRUMP'S FAILED COVID PROGRAM IS THE LIBS' FAULT
Florida governor Ron DeSantis spends literally every waking hour of his life trying to own the libs, boasting about how he owned the libs, or thinking of new ways he can own the libs in the future. Captain Ahab, if he knew Ron DeSantis, would probably say, "Dude, even I think you have a bit of a problem with monomania." DeSantis hires people for their willingness to pursue lib-owning as relentlessly as he does; one of those hires is Florida's surgeon general, Dr. Joseph Ladapo, who recommended today that healthy children should not get vaccinated against COVID-19. Just so we're clea... read more

A Proposed Solution To The Ukraine War
Perhaps the greatest danger lies in the difference of motives between parties, which is also the fundamental cause of this war: Russia seeks security, while the U.S. and its NATO allies have been using Ukraine to deny that security — to “break Russia,” in Henry Kissinger’s 2015 phrase. The U.S. does not want peace, unless it be the peace of a conquered Russia. That is why there is no obvious end to the escalations and counter-escalations. The U.S. and NATO see opportunity in the war they have been trying so hard to provoke. The post A Proposed Solution To The Ukraine War appeared ... read more
