Harris unveils populist economic plans Ahead of her planned speech today in Raleigh, North Carolina, Vice President Kamala Harris announced a dozen proposed policies for “lowering costs for American families” (Washington Post): The most striking proposals were for the elimination of medical debt for millions of Americans; the “first-ever” ban on price gouging for groceries and food; a cap on prescription drug costs; a $25,000 subsidy for first-time home buyers; and a child tax credit that would provide $6,000 per child to families for the first year of a baby’s life. The last item followed a suggestion earlier this month from JD Vance, the GOP vice-presidential nominee, that the credit be raised from $2,000 per child to $5,000. Harris is also calling for restoring the Biden administration’s child tax credit that expired at the end of 2021, which raised the benefit for most families from $2,000 per child to $3,000.

H.L. Mencken was right I still remember reassuring volunteers in October 2016 that despite Trump signs dotting the highways and byways outside the city that there was no way Americans were crazy enough to elect the orange-hued reality star over Hillary Clinton, the former senator and secretary of state. But they did. He’s not just unfit. He’s not just amoral. He’s a walking repudiation of every aspiration the Founders had for this country. Behold: “This is shocking but not surprising because of the pattern,” said MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” co-host Willie Geist. “This is not a one-off, this is the way he thinks about people who serve the country in uniform.” Trump infamously mocked Sen. John McCain for being a POW. Via Raw Story: “Yeah, there’s something really warped inside of him, there really is,” Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson added. “Just something — I guess the word weird is overused, but all that we just played is weird.” “And it is just appalling that he would speak of America’s heroes that way,” he continued.
The ambitious Drupal Starshot Initiative aims to build the new default download of Drupal, called Drupal CMS. Dries Buytaert announced it at DrupalCon Portland 2024. DrupalCon Barcelona provides a midway checkpoint in how far the teams got with the goals and the program will be packed with opportunities to get information and join the initiative.
Dries will provide an overall update in his Driesnote on Tuesday. This is a must see session! But the event will provide ample opportunities to get to know how each component is going. The following sessions are highly suggested.
Managing a massive concert tour requires keeping a lot of balls in the air, but as we were pulling into our next stop for P!nk’s world tour, I couldn’t help but feel like I was forgetting something. As we were preparing to rock Detroit’s Little Caesars Arena for a record-setting two straight nights, it suddenly hit me. Where was P!nk? “Has anybody here seen P!nk?” I shouted out to the crew assembling our stage, but alas, no luck. As we all frantically tried to call her phone to no avail, it began to dawn on me. Oh my god, we forgot P!nk. Not only have we left her behind at our last venue, but we forgot to let the pop star down from her aerial harness.
Before entering government, Labour’s Jonny Reynolds said he would reverse the Conservatives’ ‘quantity-over-quality’ approach to trade deals. But the copy-paste list of trade talks the now-Business and Trade Secretary has announced threatens to dash hopes of a new era. The causal line the new government has drawn between negotiating Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) with ‘the […]

The PM announced plans for 'wider deployment' after the riots - but it is a 'deeply flawed' technology 'technically and legally, and impacts entire communities'
CCTV footage has emerged allegedly showing Israel Defence Forces (IDF) soldiers sexually abusing a Palestinian detainee. Human rights groups say the abuse has been 'going on for decades'
Some have criticised two-year sentences handed out for violent disorder during the riots as excessively harsh. But weeks earlier, Just Stop Oil protesters received four and five-year terms for a peaceful protest
Let’s start with something very simple: Israel is committing a genocide is Palestine, and the Israeli state was founded by terrorists and has always been based on ethnic cleansing.
After World War II there was a huge backlash against anti-semitism: prejudice against Jews, because we had seen it end in Germany’s gas chambers. The Zionists used that in their project to take another people’s land for their own: to stand against a Jewish country after the Holocaust seemed wrong.
But this is a case of kindergarten ethics: two wrongs not making a right. The Zionists (not the Jews, the Zionists) stole another people’s land and did so violently.
Then, especially from the 67 on, they engaged in vicious apartheid, and continued to steal the land and homes of Palestinians.
