Putin has once again mentioned Novorossiya. In an interview ahead of his visit to India, he stressed that, in any case, Russia will 'liberate' Donbas and Novorossiya by military or other means. It is telling that Putin is now speaking not only about the Donetsk region.

The nation’s freight railroads are going to be able to try relying more on technology and inspect their tracks less often after the federal government approved their waiver request on Friday.

What did minimum wage get you each decade? In 2025, it buys you nothing but exhaustion. There’s not a single place in America where a full-time minimum-wage worker can afford even a modest 2-bedroom. Not one. That’s the economy we’re living in. #TrumpAffordabilityCrisis

Rand Paul tells me that he wants the full video of the Venezuelan boat strike released. “And I think if the public sees images of people clinging to boat debris and being blown up, I think that there is a chance that finally, the public will get interested enough in this to stop this.”

Devastating. Trump admin selling off historic public art to the highest bidder. "It is a tragic irony that murals meant to represent the contract between the government and its citizens would be sold to the highest bidder rather than preserved for posterity." www.alternet.org/trump-destro...
