By invading Ukraine in 2014, Russia violated the Agreement on Friendship/Cooperation/Partnership 1997

The first major ceasefire agreement, signed on 5/9/2014 in Minsk, was broken within hours of being signed.

This prompted the second attempted truce, known as Minsk-2, but it was even shorter.

Again: Steering public dollars to private religious schools has always been the #1 goal of @GovBillLee and his fellow privatizers.

(His pal Betsy Devos, who has funded much of the war on public schools, called it “Advancing God’s Kingdom”)

It's over.

Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.

Well, tens of millions of Americans are going hungry and tens of millions of Americans are losing their health care, but it's all been worth it to ensure transgender citizens can't get passports.

how big is one billion compared to one million? Try the "hamburgers eaten in a lifetime" unit of measure.
To eat 1 million hamburgers you'd need to eat 1.5 burgers per hour for 80 consecutive years.
to eat 1 BILLION hamburgers you'd need to eat 30.3 hamburgers per minute for 80 consecutive years.

Check out how many farms went bankrupt already this year.

Bazillionaires buy for pennies on the dollar, then get those sweet government farm subsidies….

And maybe some more high-fructose corn syrup or soybeans rather than varied fruits and veg…

Great deal for the US….. not!

Trump and Republicans are trying to BAN states from regulating AI by slipping a ban into any bill they can.

So if WA state, or any state for that matter, wants to protect kids, protect people's privacy, or protect their jobs—they'll have their hands tied.

No way.

#Trump pardoned Tim Leiweke — who his own DOJ indicted in July for rigging a public university’s arena bid—

It’s all a grift — Saudis to crypto to pardon seekers — everything gets turned into a revenue stream. With 1,500+ pardons already, clemency is a monetized market
