*Kinzinger Introduces Measure to Allow US Military Intervention in Ukraine* only if Putin uses nuclear, chemical or biological weapons.

This is not a move to escalate (that would be harmful), but rather pressure for Putin not to escalate.

A leaked document seems to show that the US Supreme Court will overturn Roe v Wade and allow states to ban abortion. If this had happened 20 years ago, Americans would have voted the right-wing officials out of office. But now that Republicans have pre-rigged US elections with voter suppression, gerrymandering, and rigging the census,

we may no longer have the option to do that.

In the UK as elsewhere, right-wing officials want you to assume that everyone else is equally corrupt.

That's basically saying, "give up trying to change things -- it is hopeless." But we know it's not hopeless -- we have succeeded before.

In the US, we have read about Manchin and Sinema's corruption, but plenty of other plutocratist Democrats are corrupt in the same way. However, right-wing officials make corruption their ideology, and they recognize no moral limits on it.
