An impending deadline spotlights how the federal flood insurance program is forcing low-income households to subsidize the rich.

Den tillträdande tyska förbundskanslern, kristdemokraten Friedrich Merz, har tillsammans med sin tilltänkta koalitionspartner annonserat en uppgörelse om att utnyttja parlamentets två tredjedels majoritet – förutsatt att de får med sig de Gröna – för att släppa på skuldbromsen. Syftet är att finansiera försvarssatsningar över 1 procent av BNP samt att skapa en infrastrukturfond på svindlande 5000 […]
“‘The only thing that makes sense is for Canada to become our cherished Fifty First State,’ Mr. Trump wrote on social media. ‘This would make all Tariffs, and everything else, totally disappear. Canadians taxes will be very substantially reduced, they will be more secure, militarily and otherwise, than ever before, there would no longer be a Northern Border problem.’” — New York Times

Ever since Canadians dined on Dolley Madison’s Macaroni Soup à la Napolitaine and Williamsburg Pound Cake before burning down the White House in 1814, we’ve been worried about retaliation. And while we love our American cousins (jazz, warm winters, and forensic crime procedurals), with each generation, their leaders and inclinations have become increasingly fascist. We’ve tolerated Reaganomics, aerosol cheese, and hockey in Arizona, but the second Trump administration is the last paper straw.
Are you a government professional looking to enhance your digital skills and connect with like-minded peers? The Government Summit at DrupalCon Atlanta 2025 is the event for you!
This summit will take place on 24 March 2025, and will be designed specifically for government agencies and public sector leaders. It’s your chance to explore how Drupal, one of the world’s most powerful open-source content management systems, can help address the unique challenges government organizations face in digital transformation.
What to Expect
At the Government Summit, you’ll dive into topics such as:
Former Trump aides get hired by a foreign drugmaker aiming to kill Medicare’s plan to lower the price of U.S.-funded weight-loss meds.
A while ago, ALLEA (the alliance of European science academies) published a statement on ethical problems in collaborations between academia and commercial parties.* With this post, I want to draw attention to this topic (my impression was that it got a bit overshadowed by all the horrible attacks on academic freedom and academic institutions that […]

A revived and expanded Muslim ban is stoking fears that U.S. residents with “hostile attitudes” toward the country will be targeted.

Motherhood is all about making sacrifices and supporting your children, no matter how outrageous their decisions may be. I’ve learned to accept the fact that my son Lawrence (whose friends rudely refer to him as “Chunk”) wants to be a “Goonie.” But this? THIS? Nothing in Dr. Spock’s many voluminous books could have prepared me for housing a nearly seven-foot-tall, three-hundred-pound slop-eating human wrecking ball known only as “Sloth.”
Look, I get it. Emotions were running high, the kids were all found safe, and they even grabbed enough of One Eyed Willie’s rubies to save our homes from being demolished. We were all overjoyed.
But then Chunk told Sloth in front of everyone, “You’re going to live with me now,” which totally put me on the spot. It’s like when he would ask if one of his little friends could sleep over right in front of them. Only instead of a seventy-pound child for one night, it’s a disfigured linebacker that could rip a normal man in half like a sheet of paper forever.
Toby Young said he hoped it would be the first of 'many' legal collaborations between X and his organisation
Every day I become more grateful for the election of Donald Trump. All praise. Millions of millions of people have worked to destroy the American empire, and all failed. Donald is succeeding, speeding the process by about a decade, I’d guess.
Likewise I and many others have hated the neoliberal trade order for decades: since the late 80s in my case. It was designed to destroy countries;sovereignty, making it impossible to truly regulate investors, to run industrial policy or even, in rich nations, to keep wages up. As a Canadian, ever since the FTA Canadian manufacturing has proceeded on a slow death march, till instead of selling the US more good than the US sells us, as was historically the norm, we now buy more goods from the US than vice-versa. (The trade surplus is due to energy.)
As the twentieth anniversary of the Glazer family’s tenure as owners of Manchester United approaches, it’s a struggle to see how it could have been any more disastrous. Over £1 billion in debt, dressing room dramas and fan protests every other week, cost-cutting practices from new part-owner Jim Ratcliffe that would make George Osborne blush […]
