RFK Jr: I don't know the exact number
BENNET: That is the exact number, Secretary Kennedy
RFK Jr: *death growls*
BENNET: You took down the HHS communications promoting the flu vaccine. Do you regret that?

Judge clarifies: Yes, Trump was found to have raped E. Jean Carroll (2023) www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Earth Day reminder that Trump’s EPA rolled back regulations governing clean air, water, wildlife, and toxic chemicals.
He’s pushed to open public lands to drilling and mining.
And he’s gutted clean energy programs while promoting dirty fossil fuels.
He’s a danger to our planet and our health.
Hallitus leikkaa sotealan järjestöiltä, jotka tekevät ennaltaehkäisevää työtä torjuakseen yksinäisyyttä, kuormitusta ja perheiden kriisien syvenemistä.
Leikkauksilla ei saada säästöjä, vaan kasvaneita kustannuksia ja pahoinvointia.

25 years ago i was sat in a pub in Twickenham, with uni friends.
They all decided to head off to Kingston, clubbing. I had a moment of clarity and said:
"I'm good. You go."
One guy, i didn't really know, said to everyone:
"He's staying? Me too."
We have been best friends ever since that moment
That would require billions upon billions to bring up to modern standards with little to gain.
A photograph showing a long column of horse-drawn sleighs hauling refugees and their possessions. SA-Kuva.
The terms of the 1940 Moscow peace treaty that ended the Winter War were harsh. They moved the border far beyond what the Kremlin's hordes had managed to conquer.
In total, over 420 000 Finns were forced to choose: leave within a few days, or stay to become Soviet citizens with "guaranteed rights."

Yesterday was the national Evacuee's Day in #Finland. Remembering those who had to leave their homes, often hastily and only with what they could carry, and start life anew as internal #refugees because of the unjust aggression of the Kremlin.
About 420 000 people. Over 11% of the population.
❗️We need to build our own anti-ballistic system within a year so that we don’t depend on Patriot. It’s realistic, but very difficult – the issue is in the components,” – Zelenskyy
OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened.
Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah.

A more accurate headline might read: 'Broccoli farmer has his facts wrong on solar energy & land use'.
For Ireland to hit its target of 8GW of solar power would require 0.25% of farmland.
Somehow the remaining 99.75% isn't adequate to maintain food supply...?

The biggest renewable energy project in the US is officially generating electricity. 916 wind turbines. 3.5 gigawatts. Connected to California by a 550-mile high-voltage transmission line. Very cool.
Less cool: it was proposed in *2006* & slogged through years of permitting delays & lawsuits. Sigh.
Marta Kos, the European Union's commissioner for enlargement, on April 20 praised the speed of Ukraine’s reforms to align with European standards and called for stronger safeguards to prevent future backsliding.
A picture of a rather dilapidated copy of "The picture of Dorian Gray" There is visible water damage to the cover and the plastic cover is yellowing. Obviously, not evident from the picture but there is a truly foul musty smell emanating from it!
Last week, a gentleman returned this rather dilapidated copy of this famous book to us after 50 years. He had found it in his attic!
Presumably this means there is a pristine copy somewhere in our libraries....
Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history.
Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes.
But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year.
Trickle down hoax.
Tai että otetaan se yksinkertaisin.
Kuolet hirvittävällä tavalla, jäljelle ei jää kuin muutamia tunnistuskelpoisia osia kuten pari sormea. Tapahtumalla ei ole todistajia. Mistä päätellään kuka olit?
Maailmanhistoriassa ei ole koskaan saatu taloutta kuntoon hyvinvointia leikkaamalla.
Hallitus on nyt koettanut saada taloutta kuntoon hyvinvointia leikkaamalla ja kaikki talouden mittarit huutavat punaisella.
Millä termillä sitä kutsutaan, kun hallitus haluaa tehdä edelleen samaa mutta kovemmin?
In a nutshell. 😊

If a 600-ton excavator can be converted from diesel to electric, pretty much anything can.
And thanks to Dementia Don and the oil crooks pulling his strings, the world is now - finally - scrambling to break decisively with fossil fuels.

There have been DDoS attacks going on quite widely today.
I wouldn't be surprised if this is the reason.
There is no doubt that the reliability of the USA since Trump has taken office has massively suffered, politically, economically and militarily. It will eventually lead to more countries detaching themselves from Washington.
Vain jos sieltä on ryöstettävissä luonnonvaroja, kuten öljyä. Eli on.
Onko se siis niin että jos Yhdysvallat näkisi mitä Yhdysvallat tekee Yhdysvalloissa niin se hyökkäisi Yhdysvaltoihin vapauttaakseen Yhdysvallat Yhdysvaltojen tyranniasta?

Me kaikki kärsitään vieläkin siitä miten sotatraumainen sukupolvi kasvatti boomerit.
