Trump's new order for science, not so much gold standard as fool's gold standard.
Seeing JFK jn. heading the the Dept of Health is like watching an off beat satirical comedy.
Expect he has reams of imaginary research showing the environmental impact on workers is actually positive & prevents autism.

That is so but it's little comfort to their victims.
Somehow I imagine Stephen Miller would be quite pleased to be told his name would go down in history alongside Hitler's.

The idea that one can read off people's loyalties from their passports is piffle.
One would think holding a foreign passport made one subject to orders from foreign governments.
Following Brexit a lot of people obtained Irish passports, would they be barred too?

more from @inthesetimes.com: "And when a state labor leader observing the raids got swept up in the brutal immigration crackdown, it sparked nationwide action by labor unions against federal raids, detentions and deportations."

I can confirm the misleading and downright crazy answers one can get.

3)accountable for his blatant attempt to bully the court in defence of Israel
That he had been caught red-handed in an attempt to pervert the course of justice.
Via his actions, he has joined:
a small group of unsavoury world leaders who have menaced or bullied the ICC.

Expect "DOGE" will want to know where all the DEI & Net Zero initiatives are.
This is not about efficiency, it is about imported ideological attack on council budgets.

Post revolution there was competition between secular and Islamic wings for control. The war waged by US proxy Saddam helped the Islamic wing in consolidating its power.

Yes, Iran as it is today is at least in part the result of US policy.
US organised a coup in the 1953 to overthrow its nascent secular democracy in favour of a corrupt shah.
After 79 revolution they tried to reinstate the Shah & when that failed they set Saddam Hussein on them.

Not unusual to have a bit of fisticuffs at there events.
Those marchers won't all be from Whitehaven. People travel around the country to participate, usually a Scottish contingent present.
Personally I think of it as a celebration of bigotry.

Windscale or Sellafield? They used to swap the names around to dissociate from bad publicity.
