News media saying they don't have context on the new batch of folders is ridiculous. Since when has that stopped them from reporting what they want. It is the public who should bring their own opinion to what they hear and see. It should not be a spoon fed narrative from corporate news media.

BILL BURR: “If someone’s working 160 hours a month and can’t make their rent, you’re not paying them enough. Maybe you should just be worth $900,000,000… How does a CEO take a f*cking 8 figure bonus and none of your employees have dental insurance?”

In 2022, 42% of Texas state house Republicans (36) did not have an opponent. All those elections were “cancelled.”
In 2026, there won’t be a single uncontested race in Texas!
Why? Because @texasdemocrats are running for EVERY seat!
For the first time in decades.

The EU just decided to indefinitely immobilise Russian assets.
This ensures that up to €210 billion in Russian funds stay on EU soil, unless Russia fully pays reparations to Ukraine for the damage it has caused. (1/2)
