The Democratic Party’s capitulation to the Crypto lobby is one of the most nakedly corrupt things I’ve seen in my life. Crypto is a blatant scam with zero value that is designed to end popular control of our currency. Dems just co-signed the next global financial crisis. It’s unforgivable.
The House voted 308 to 122 for the GENIUS Act, the corrupt crypto industry bill to set the stage for the next financial crisis, encourage money laundering, and bless Trump's corruption. 102 Democrats voted yes, including 4 out of the 5 memberships of House Dems's Leadership Team.

Three years of intense lobbying from supporters and opponents of zonal pricing is over. Which camp did the SNP belong to? And why? Did some of the lobbying exaggerate the truth? And does the SNP have a coherent vision for electricity market reform?
Good luck America. I have two friends on Medicaid for cancer meds I'm sure they'll be out picking strawberries tomorrow
Brooke Rollins on farm laborers: "There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way. And we move the workforce toward automation and 100% American participation, which with 34 million able-bodied on Medicaid we should be able to do fairly quickly."

I don’t think the situation is anywhere near as bad here. I know people who are on the Right or who voted Brexit & there are topics I deliberately don’t discuss with them. Some families here have splintered due to this but the toxicity in general is not on the level of the US. Long may that continue
What’ll happen in America, is what happened here to people who voted Tory or for Brexit - they will be cancelled by friends and family and treated as pariahs. (What else could they possibly expect 🤷♀️)
