Yep. The insurance companies don't care if you don't "believe" in climate change. They do, they have the data to prove it's happening and they will charge whatever it takes to maintain profit margins. The future looks grim. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Wow. Fascists can really get government moving along when fascism is the focus. No red tape at all. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

For me, this is probably the best news I will see today. apnews.com/article/anim...

It sounds like Europe should keep it's money close-to-home. The USA is yesterday's news. www.npr.org/2026/05/02/n...

The "bread and circuses" concept is alive and well in the USA. apnews.com/article/trum...

When developing countries in Africa say "no" to the USA, I think that cements our status as a pariah country. apnews.com/article/ghan...

Know someone who doesn't "believe" in climate change? Here is where it gets real. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Wow. There is not much of anything "new" in the daily news but I did not see THIS coming... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

From AP News... Today in history: On April 28, 2004, the world first viewed images of prisoner abuse and torture by U.S. troops at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, via a report broadcast on the CBS television news program “60 Minutes II.” Never forget...

This might be the most meaningless article about politics that I have ever read. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Riding a motorcycle through the New England countryside, I'm still seeing numerous trump signs and banners on houses even in the time between elections. It reminded me of this. "I won't waste my love on a nation." www.youtube.com/watch?v=94c7...

Hmm... not a word about the United Nations. Interesting... www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

I needed to get away from the news for a while so I took a day ride on the motorcycle. After a long winter, I hadn't seen the ocean for a while so that's where I went. This is near Misquamicut Beach in Rhode Island.

Indeed, the kids are alright. apnews.com/article/stud...

What a shame. So who's the apex predator NOW, mofo? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Yet another article about nuclear power generation that gives short-shrift to the nuclear waste generated. apnews.com/article/czec...

Yet another angle on voter suppression. Tell me this isn't a government coup. apnews.com/article/virg...

I think this case finally puts the wooden stake through the heart of the "states' rights" idea. Secession is the only answer. apnews.com/article/immi...

"U.S. Ambassador Bernie Navarro reacted to the announcement, saying on X that if Peru 'negotiates in bad faith' or undermines U.S. interests, he would take measures at his disposal. He did not elaborate." IOW, this is a Mob-style "protection" racket. F the USA. F the trump regime.

“Hands that serve are holier than lips that pray.”- Sai Baba of Shirdi We know the difference, trump. STFU. apnews.com/article/trum...

From AP News, on this date... In 1914, militia and Colorado National Guard members opened fire on an encampment of striking coal miners and their families in Ludlow, Colorado; at least 19 people in the camp, including 12 children, and one National Guard member were killed in the “Ludlow Massacre.”

"Elbows up" is more than just an expression. The same with "gloves off." Maybe the USA just needs it Americanized: “Bullies respond to one thing only: a punch in the face.”- Gov. JB Pritzker Mark Carney will make this clear. apnews.com/article/cana...

Just in case there's any confusion about this...

We all should be "concerned" over this news. mainebeacon.com/collins-ties...

They don't call him the Boss for no reason. Turn the volume ALL THE WAY UP for this one!

This FISA 702 warrant-less surveillance is BULLSHIT. It shouldn't have ANY renewal. See US Constitution, Amendment 4. Where TF is our supposed democratic government? www.npr.org/2026/04/17/n...

Presidente Pendejo addresses America...

Is Bluesky the target of a DoS attack? Everything from my own posts to replies takes multiple tries to post. One post took six tries. This has been going on for hours. Anybody else noticing this? The rest of internet access is unchanged.

The power to issue pardons should rest on a 2/3 majority of each House of Congress, not one man or his hand-picked cronies on the Supreme Court. Of course, this would require a Constitutional amendment. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I'm an American (a disappointed one) and I believe this should be fast-tracked. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

File this under "bread and circuses." apnews.com/article/espn...

Nice article about the damage done by the trump regime. Not even a mention of the large percentage of "We The People" that enabled this to happen. The USA is rotten to the core. A turn-around may take generations to happen, if at all. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

We heat our house with oil. Today’s delivery hurt more than the usual. Thanks, Presidente Pendejo.

"The Onkalo facility is expected to operate until the 2120s, when it will be permanently sealed." So this is good for only 100 years? Then what? Still, no answers for the problem of generating nuclear waste. apnews.com/article/finl...

Just say it: the USA is toast on the world stage. It's never going to be the same. "We The People" have let down the world. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

So much for this "blue wave" that I keep hearing about. apnews.com/article/geor...

Fleeing the sinking ship. I think we'll see a lot more of this in America. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

No. We are now at the whims of a mad king because "We the People" keep voting for republicans just so they can "win" the culture wars. How does it feel now, idiot Americans? The USA will quickly become a failed state.

From my favorite columnist, thinking outside the box addressing the issue of apparent trump dementia. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Why the wait??? www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

Too bad few people read anything of substance anymore. This should be required reading for ALL Americans. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Finally, "to protect and to serve..." in action. apnews.com/article/new-...

Forget the news about Bondi. THIS should have been the headline article for today. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

So Russia now looks like the good guys? Has the USA sunk that low? apnews.com/article/russ...

We're a pariah nation now. This isn't going to help. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Will he pace behind the justices like he did with Hillary Clinton years ago? This is straight-up intimidation. It's just more of trumps prior training in WWE showmanship. apnews.com/article/trum...

For the trump regime. From years ago but timeless. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uk-C...

THIS perfectly describes most of today’s media bias and failure!

Too good to not repost.
